Assignments and Information for the week of 9/29/08

This week we will begin investigating the Pythagorean Theorem in the book Looking for Pythagoras. We will focus on the concepts of the theorem and look through a proof which will prepare us for a Partner Quiz at the end of the week. The first Quiz grade will be posted by Tuesday, I will be meeting with students who had major difficulties to put a success plan in place.
Please remember to submit all assignments timely to ensure the highest level of credit. Missing assignments are listed on the grade wall. Remember the marking period is close to the end, my gradebook will close 10/7 with the exception of the Unit Test. Binders will be checked this week, make sure you are ready.
