__Tuesday, January 31st__
Complete the worksheet. Don't forget, if you need a calculator, to either go to my calculator page to either download your own calculator or go to online sites. Or write the equations and come in before or after school and use my calculators to finish the problems.

__Monday, January 23rd__
In class I handed out the August 2011 Regents exam. This is to be done by the time you get back on Tuesday, Jan 31st (no, there is no school on the 30th, enjoy). PLEASE do these yourself as they are how I will be determining how everyone stands in relation to the Regents. Good luck, and have a nice week!

__Friday, January 20th__
We will finish up the basics of our trig lessons (finding the missing angles).
