How to study for a math test!

When you are studying for a math test you must do a variety of things:
1. PRACTICE! one of the reasons that the odd answers are in the back of the book are for you to do them and check them (not just to cheat on homework!) Do some problems from each section and check answers, you also should have most of the even answers with ALL your work from us correcting them in class.
2.Do the study guide and review in the book.
3. Do a practice quiz/test online from the Glencoe site - links are on the right side of this blog!
4. Use IXL and practice the standards that you are going to be assessed on.
5. Review and check your flipper for accuracy.
