Spock: "But Mister Kemp, we aren't finished with yesterday's assignment. Now we're supposed to do a double-assignment today, too?"
Mister Kemp: "I know. Trust me, it'll be okay. Tomorrow we'll have some time to finish it all up."
Spock: "Yay! I'm going to get on Farmville and-"
Mister Kemp: "THAT BEING SAID, the Chapter 5 quiz will be first thing on Thursday, and you will need to be ready for it! And these last two assignments are slightly longer than usual. Use your time wisely!"

2. Read 5-4 – Keep track of these theorems in your binder! Make sure you understand the concepts before moving on to the problems! Get my help if you need it.

3. In 5-4, work problems 2-10 even, 44, 52.

4. Read 5-5
