Today’s blog is for all of you middle school math teachers and students who survived last week’s New York State exams. I know that all of you worked really hard and did your best.
However, there’s still math to learn before the school year ends, namely the dreaded Post-March Topics. Gasp! Grade 8 teachers, don’t let your copies of Reviewing Mathematics: Preparing for the Eighth-Grade Test get dusty. Get your students ready for Integrated Algebra 1 by going over these starred* post-March sections:

*5.11 Graphing and Solving Inequalities
*9.6 Constructing and Bisecting Angles
*11.5 Slope
*11.6 Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation
*11.7 Graphing Systems of Linear Equations
*11.8 Exploring Nonlinear Functions
That said, it’s Monday and you just conquered your exams. You deserve a few minutes of quality slacking. I recommend this silly video of a guy singing a pseudo-rap song about his kitten, Sparta. (Non-middle school math teachers/students can watch, too.)
