On Wednesday and Thursday they worked on a review for their final check in on Monday. The 8th graders had lessons on reflections, rotations, and how to identify different types of transformations. They also have their final check-in Monday. Algebra students escaped their final review escape room and continued to study for their cumulative final exam.
