January 3, 2012 Students Need Some Extra Help? Come see me during lunch on Tuesdays and after school on Thursdays and get some help if you think that you do not understand the material or are falling behind. My door is always open to you and I'm here to help! All you have to do is ask... and for some more ideas about how to succeed in math, check out my study tips. Remember, it is your responsibility to stay current on your homework, even if you miss a class for whatever reason. Check the web site for the assignments you miss if you are not in class, and pick up the handouts from the crates in our classroom. Pre-Algebra We start the new year working on exponents. We will exlore positive and negative exponents, square roots and irrational numbers, and scientific notation. Algebra We are wrapping up Chapter 6 this week and will start on the second half of the textbook. We begin by considering what strategy to use for different types of systems of equations problems. Then we spend some time on parallel and perpendicular lines. The Team Test for Chapter 6 is on Friday, January 13. Then we start on factoring polynomials and solving quadratic equations. Parents Please check the website for assignments if your child misses school. Help your child suceed in math by monitoring their math journals frequently. If your child needs help, encourage them to look at the examples in the book and to think of how their homework is similar or different from the examples. I am always available via phone or email for your questions or concerns. |
