Week 2 - The real work begins


This week, most schedules should be settled and we can really dive into the material!

Pre-Algebra Announcements & Homework
This week, we will be covering the topics of absolute value and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers.  Homework will be from the workbook (to be distributed on Monday).  The way the the workbook is organized is that it has the Chapter and Lesson number at the top.  For example, 1-3 means Chapter 1, Lesson 3.  That is how the homework corresponds with the workbook.  The reason that I don't use the page numbers is because the page numbers in the workbook are different from the ones that are online, but the Chapter/Lesson numbers are the same.  The Unit 1 Quiz 1 will be on Friday.  (Thursday night's homework will be a worksheet of practice problems that will resemble the quiz).

Homework for the week is as follows:
Monday (8/22): WB 1-3 #5-13 odd
Tuesday (8/23): WB 1-4 #3-9 odd
Wednesday (8/24): WB 1-5 #5, 7, 12, 15, 17
Friday (8/26): Problem of the Week #1

Algebra / Readiness Announcements & Homework
This week, we will be reviewing our goals for the year.  Additionally, we are finishing our first workbook!  Our first quiz will be during the first hour of Wednesday.  During the second hour, we will start the next workbook.  Below is a list of workbook pages that need to be completed each day.  If it is not completed during class, it becomes homework.
