Here's the info on final exams (students have already known this for a week now) -

CALCULUS - 5th period is on Fri, May 14th
1st period is on Tues, May 18th

they have review sheet of what is on it...............just some basic integrals!!


ALG 3 Y - their final is across two days

3rd period Mon, May 17th Trig material
2nd period Tues, May 18th Logs, solving systems, inequalities, matrices

They have a review sheet with list of problems from their book that is like their final...

MATH 1 - final exam is 6th period on Wed, May 19th

we will be reviewing on these last few days for it....they have been doing great (at least the ones I ask feel great!!!) about the EOCT. I know they will be fine with it....

Math 1 - County EOCT

ALL E-MAILS NEED TO BE SENT TO glenn.meeden@cobbk12.org


The county EOCT for Math 1 is to be given this Wed and Thur (5/12 and 5/13)...they are done during the class period (6th) and the students take them in the media center. The reason they have had these EOY's in the classroom the past several days is to give them plenty of review for this EOCT. They are all smart kids who can do well on this mandated exam.

They will need to report to the media center for 6th period on Wed and Thur. They cannot have their phones or any other electronic device physically with them during the exam.

If they still need any further practice, they can go on the website listed below and take a practice one for the state of Georgia.....

Their final examination for the class itself will be on Wed, May 19th.......

Week of May 3rd

ALL E-MAILS NEED TO BE SENT TO glenn.meeden@cobbk12.org

Welcome to May!!!! The end is in sight............here's what is going on -

CALCULUS - their last quiz is on Tues, May 4th...they have a take home test to be given them on Wed (5/5) and they need to return it by Fri, May 7th. We are wrapping up integrals and various methods within integration.

ALG 3 Y - We are on the last week of trig....they have another quiz on the unti circle (just identifying coordinates) on Tues, May 4th and the last trig test (on trig proofs) will be on Fri, May 7th.

MATH 1 - we are in the process of review for the County EOC Exam and taking some End of Year tests in order to help the students with their grades and to prepare for large amount of questions on the County EOC. More info about these were posted last week and more again this coming week. We really are trying to give them great preparation for the EOCT as well as aiding their overall grade.

MAKE-UPS for this week - Mon through Fri AM

Tues, Wed PM
