Textbook Distributed Today

Students checked out their algebra textbooks today, and then covered them. I am going to try to conduct class in a way that will allow students to not have to transport their books to and from school daily. For the time being, students have been instructed to leave their algebra books at home. If the routine changes, I will inform students in advance of the change.

Signed district letters were checked off and we discussed last night's homework. Most students in the class came up with solutions for 3 or 4 situations. We discussed possible changes in the rules that students came up with. Tonight's homework is related to selecting a rule and applying it to the problem.

Tonight's Homework: Have your parent read and sign the course description and "Missed Algebra?" papers. Select a new rule to follow for your "That's Sum Difference" problem. Write the rule on the new worksheet, and then determine how many unique solutions you can come up with. All of this is due at the beginning of class on Sept. 14th.
