Hello once again everyone,
So far all the classes are progressing nicely, in the middle of or done with Unit 4. Over the next few weeks there will be a progress report coming out and more in-depth algebra involving graphing of lines; which puts all that we have learned so far into perspective. It does get easier as we go along, because the students can connect the material throughout the year, to the present material. The flashbacks are also getting better, which shows a positive retention rate. Overall I am pleased with the progress of the students as a whole, but if any assistance is needed you know how to reach me.

Right before February

Well we are done with midterms! We had alot of success so far during the year and we are going to keep going to the end of school. Soon we will be moving deeper into algebra, finding how to solve and graph equations with two or more steps. It may sound difficult but we will work through it and get it done right. Also in this semester, we will be doing an Algebra/Geometry project were the students will create their own versions of what they think algebra and geometry are like in the real world. More details to come. BYE!

Mid-January

As we end the first semester, I am happy with the results of the first half of the year. The failure rate is low and the recall rate is high. This is very positive going into mid-terms. We have reviewed for the mid-term exams; all we have to do now is take them. After mid-terms, it is back to business as usual we will be, at minimum, learning about graphing and writing linear equations, solving and graphing linear equations, and systems of linear equations.
