Math

 
Week of August 10 - 14, 2009

We hope to start Math classes on Tuesday, August 11th.  Letters have been 
sent home to a few students regarding having class with me as their teacher.  
If you rec'd one of these letters, please sign and return it asap.

My class will have homework tonight, 8/11/09.  They will need to do Lesson 1; 
problems 1 - 25. 

I will post the rest of this week's assignments tomorrow. :)

*****************************************************************************

Special Note:  I don't want any of my math students to work on their 
homework for more than 40 - 45 minutes.  If you see your student taking 
longer than this, please let me know.  Also, I recognize that some of the 
skills may seem difficult when they are first introduced.  Don't get 
discouraged!  It will get easier and we'll have several opportunities to get 
better at it.  :)         


Please note that some students may be given Reteach Activities as well as 
Challengers on various lessons.

Good News!  We have help for you from the publisher of their textbook for 
those students who are working mostly in the Houghton Mifflin book.  The 
Saxon 65 book that my class is using, isn't on line. We will, on occasion, 
use the Houghton Mifflin book too, so when we do, this website may help.  
Check out the publisher's 
website for our new Houghton Mifflin textbook @

Textbook.  I know several students are working out of the Saxon textbook 
this year too. I am not aware of their having a textbook on line. If you're 
working out of Saxon, you can still go,look, and review items from the 
Houghton Mifflin website for there are several good things there.
