Covid-19 Social Distancing Resources

Why are we staying home from school?

In order to stay healthy and avoid contracting or spreading Covid-19, we are staying home.
The article below, shared by Mr. Vance, does a good job of explaining how this works and why
staying home will help.

Any updates will be posted on the Math Lab Google Classroom as well as the Math Lab website. The Math
Lab website has videos, practice problems, worked out examples, games, practice for the upcoming PSAT

Concerns about the PSAT and SAT
If you have time and are able, use this time to study for the PSAT or SAT. The Math Lab link below has
articles about how to study for standardized testing, reducing test anxiety, and practice tests

Mr. Irizarry made the scans below of the math sections of the practice PSAT and SAT that you took in
