(1) The problems must be done in order on your own paper. (2) You must write “Chapter 8 Workbook Project” on the top of your paper, or staple this sheet to the front of your assignment. (3) Each problem must be rewritten and all work must be shown. (No work, no credit) (4) Each answer must be circled. (5) The problems must be done in the correct order, and I must be able to read your handwriting. (6) Five points will be deducted for each of the above (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) not followed. (7) Due on Feb 4. Three points off for each day late. (8) Turn it in early – by Feb 1 for 2 bonus points. The problems will be graded for correctness. Do all 52 problems. 8.4 Workbook p.160 – 161: 1 – 16 all 8.5 Workbook p.163 – 165: 1 – 20 all 8.6 Workbook p.166 – 168: 1 – 16 all
