I have posted copies of the MSMI reviews for quarters 1-3 under "Uploaded Documents."
Quarters 2 and 3 are in the same format as might be seen on the actual MSA. We are
spending the next several math classes reviewing but these review packets would be some
extra practice for all students for the Math MSA that will be given on April 1st and 2nd. For
your convenience, answer keys are included at the end of each document.

Sorry for not having these up on Friday but I was out. Grades are current through today,
excluding this week's quiz. Be aware that this score may not match the score on the progress
report. The progress report grade was submitted Wednesday, 2/27. Some new grades and
many make-up assignments have been added to my grade book since then.
Missing classwork can still be submitted for some late credit. If your child has a "L" for any
classwork assignment, it should be turned in ASAP. Also, any RECENT "ab" assignments (CW or HW)
can still be turned in for full credit.
