We reviewed the results of Nicky's test. I gave him another chance to redo the problems that he answered incorrectly. He was allowed to use his reference sheet of formulas and his calculator. I will regrade the test and review topics if needed. We also started the next concept - Ratio, Proportions, and Percents.
We learned more about financing start ups and IPO's. Nicky completed an in-class assessment on accounting principles and we watched a video on the best time to invest in a start up business.
NIcky completed the online test but didn't do well. He requested a paper test instead. I gave him a second chance with a paper test. Will review his results during the next session.
Nicky and I finished the last section of Chapter 4, completing the adjourning reading companion. We then turned our focus to the format for Nicky’s upcoming Chapter 3/4 assessment.

Lesson Comments
Nicky was focused while taking his test. He was allowed to use a calculator for the test. He turned in his test and didn't do well. I noticed that he makes simple mistakes when taking a digital test. I cannot see his work or thinking process digitally. I will go back and review topics he missed.
Review area, perimeter, surface area, and volume. Get ready for the chapter test on 4/26

Lesson Comments
Nicky makes silly mistakes when calculating the surface area and volume. He knows the material but says that he hates math so doesn't put his 100%. I showed him how he would need math in day to day living, and in his sports etc. We talked about how and why math is important.
