Assignments and Information for the week of 1/26/09

A new semester, a new marking period, a new level of expectation.
It is time to revisit how our classroom works, so that we can move forward in our mathematical journey. Our journey takes us to the concept of Algebra, but before we get there we need to prepare. To that end we will revisit some old concepts that will aid us in studies. Distributive property, One and Two step equations are the first stops this week.
Please remember to turn in assignments timely for full credit.

Assignments and Information for the week of 1/12/09

Last week we got re-acclimated to being back at Milwood and then spent a lot of time looking at the equations Quadratic Relationships form. Moving ahead in Frogs, Fleas, and Painted Cubes we will use what we now know to determine what an equation tells us about a situation.
The marking period ends next week, which means that the grade book will close this Friday. Please keep that in mind as assignment due dates come and go.
