Suggested Review

Before you begin Chapter 1 in MathLinks 8, you should review a number of topics that you should have already covered. Below are the activities with links that you should complete. If you know the concept well, the exercise will end quickly. If you need more practise, the exercise will drill you until you are comfortable with it. When you are having difficulty, you should watch the video for help. Don't expect to sit down and do all of these in one sitting! It's ok to complete them over a few days.

Remember! If you skip these activities, you may have problems later on in math. Better to get them done now and be sure that you understand them!
