| We will begin working in Chapter Two solving equations and inequalities. We have been integrating a lot of review material along with new ideas in order to get back into the "thinking mathematically" mode. We will start solving one step equations and graphing inequalities on a number line. This, too, should not be totally new material so we will try and work through it in order to start working with exponents very soon. Some students have been struggling with this early material so you may hear someone mention "Lunch Bunch" in conversation. Just to let you know, this is a time set aside at lunch time when I work with a smaller group of students who appear to need extra time in mastering some of the material. It is intended as a "help session" and is open to anyone who wishes to attend. I sometimes "invite" specific students who have shown a deficiency on past tests, but everyone is welcome. |

| Students will be starting Chapter 4 material. We will be defining terms, people, and places. We will also take notes from the power point presentations and we will do the Guided Reading worksheets. Students are expected to read the Chapter outside of class if they do not do it as they complete each assignment. Ample time will be allocated for most of the work to be completed in class but due to the fact that each student works at their own pace, they may need to finish the assignments outside of the classroom. |

Success in the Math Classroom |
| Each student is responsible for a pencil, paper and textbook on a daily basis. Students should work problems along with me in class and not just be idle sightseers. Learning requires work on the person's part, which includes asking questions. I am always available for extra help during homeroom and after school. Homework will be assigned out of the Work Text paperback book on a daily basis. Some students are still coming to class with incomplete assignments. This will be a good year to learn "how to" study math. |
