Lesson 7-2 Combined

Instructions - PLEASE READ!!

This is a self-paced "combined lesson" that combines the slides we use for notes with the Quizizz questions we usually do after. After 1-2 slides, you will have questions to answer based on the notes you took from those slides. Use the notes to help you.


Something that is different about this is you will NOT be able to reattempt ANY of these questions at the end. Therefore, you must take your time and look up each answer in the notes.
