New 2008-2009 site for homework help:
http://www.hotmath.com/
RU Doing Math 2nite?

Hotmath's award-winning online math help site has added a new instant 
messaging feature that allows students to study together in real time over 
the Internet.

Hotmath.com displays hint-step explanations for the actual odd-numbered 
homework problems in more than 200 math textbooks used in U.S. middle 
schools, high schools, and colleges. Students use a pointer and "texting" 
while viewing Hotmath hint-step explanations of textbook homework problems. 
They can communicate via instant messaging and a shared pointer to move 
through teacher-prepared problem explanations.

Hotmath enhances learning by helping students complete their math homework 
and get a better understanding of concepts and processes. It is a full-
service math help tool that includes many free resources including graphing 
calculator training, math workbooks, and math activities. For more 
information, visit Hotmath online at www.hotmath.com

Anytime your child wishes to do a tutorial on any of our lessons, the chapter 
number and lesson number is needed to select the correct 
tutorial.  Each day, I will have the students record this info.  For example, 
we started the year with Chapter 6.  So when we do Chapter 6 Lesson 1, I will 
code it 6-1 (which means Chapter 6 Lesson 1); Chapter 6 Lesson 2 will be 
coded 6-2, etc.  

To access the Holt Middle School Mathematics Course 1 textbook online go to 
the site:             http://go.hrw.com 

It will now take you to a page called THINK CENTRAL. 
Select HOLT MATHEMATICS.

Follow the directions for the Holt Online Learning packet; if you don't have 
one, have your child request another from me.  If your child leaves his/her 
book in school, you will now have access to the textbook online.

Advanced 6A Math Course:  McDougall Littell Middle School Math Course 2 may 
be located on www.classzone.com; select 1)MATH, 2)state MINNESOTA, 3)GO, 
McDougal Littell Middle School Course 2.  You will be able to do tutorials 
on our lessons versus assignments on this site; a CD is needed for 
assignments from McDougal Littell and may be checked out for the year. 
However, after Ch.4 we will be using a packet with each chapter so the  
worksheets in the packet will not be on the CD but the tutorials online will 
continue to match our lessons.
