LESSON REVIEWS

Remember what you learned.

Use these short reviews to revisit important skills from class. You can review them before practicing, after practicing, or whenever you need a reminder.

HOW TO REVIEW

Learning is stronger when we return to it.

Read each review slowly. Try to remember the steps before looking at the answers. Then practice the skill on your own computer.

There is no grade and no time limit. A review is simply another opportunity to make the skill more familiar.
