I know you are all quite enthusiastic about your new book, perhaps because it comes in two parts. You are carrying around half as much weight as last year. We started off well today. Everyone participated and that makes for a dynamic class.
Homework:
1. Answer your individual Covering the Ideas question on the blog. Be sure to type in the question and its number because you will probably end up commenting out of order. Feel free to comment on a classmate's response. Be respectful; everyone is entitled to his/her opinion if that is the type of question being asked. Due: Monday
2. Complete Lesson 1-2, Covering the Ideas and Applying the Mathematics (15 questions) for tomorrow. Write answers in your Math Journal. Show all work where applicable.
3. Memorize the first twenty perfect squares. You will need to recite them quickly to get credit = 1 quiz grade. You start with 10 points (100%). If you need to redo them and are successful the second time around, you will earn 9 points (90%). If you need a third try, you will learn 8 points (80%), etc. Due: Thursday, end of the day.
