Tuesday
Welcome to 2nd semester! I hope you have a successful semester in math class, I will give some tips for success. I will spend time looking over your transcript to ensure you qualify for my class and if you are a senior, to make sure all 4 math credits will be met. The class will spend time sharing with me words, pictures, images to describe them. I like to get to know a student first before we enter the math curriculum.
HW: Purchase needed materials ( writing utensils, paper, calculator and notebook)
Wednesday
We will start the curriculum today, come ready to learn new material. we will start class with poster presentations, followed by mean, median, mode and range using data collected with height. Also, if time allows, we will create a dotplot and a histogram of the data.
