Alphabet Book Project

The final project for all classes.  You have picked 3 words to define, give 2 examples of.  Below you will find a link to the template.  You need three of these.  The word list is also below, in case you need it, but you should already know your words.

All work must be done by you.  Do not cut and paste a definition from the internet.  Use your own words.  I know what you know.  If you try defining things with heteroskedasticity or things like that, expect me to call you on it :)

Pre-Algebra Learning Upgrade

Pre-Algebra: Do as many Learning Upgrades as you can.  The formula for scoring is as follows.

Basically the score is out of 50, and you get bonus points for getting golds or silvers.

The equation is:

{3(# of gold levels) + 2(# of silver levels) + (# of Bronze Levels)}*Levels Completed

this will be the score out of 50.  You can get higher than 50 points on this assignment.  That is extra credit.
