Test Today, Therefore no FORMAL assignment tonight...
However, know that we will be resuming our investigations of
solving equations with the variable on both sides come Thursday. You
would be wise to crack open lesson 2-5 and always have the option of
trying out odd-numbered problems and checking your solutions in the back
of the book.
Another avenue is to review your notes on what we've tackled thus far in chapter 2. We've been on an equation-solving spree and it would do you some good to review your class notes and reflect on how similar all of our problems have been to date.
(N.B. Tuesday night's Home Nugget was #8 in our series and was to study for Wednesday's chapter 1 test)

From Practice Sheets:
1-2 Practice Sheet # 1 - 29

Home Nugget Criteria:
1. All home nuggets should be completed in your homework notebook. The sheet from which the lesson was assigned gets placed in your math folder.
2. Anyone who picks up your home nugget should be able to make sense of your arguments. Present your work clearly.
3. You must always provide evidence of your thought process, whether in sentences or the math involved, but most often a combo of both.
4. You must always attempt ALL problems. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Home Nuggets Can Be Assessed in a Variety of Ways: Here are three of them.
A. By virtue of being in class, I assume that you have the lesson and give you full credit worth 2 points.
B. You are asked to hand in the lesson and I grade it based on the criteria described above. Now the lesson is worth 3 times as much, that is 6 points.
C. I use a random number generator to solicit one or two home nuggets from the class and grade those lessons for all to see under a document camera. ALL students now receive the same grade as those random students. This is a mechanism meant to encourage collective accountability.

Welcome to the 2012-2013 School Year!
Materials:
I like to keep things simple in this arena. All you will need for class are:
*Two one-subject notebooks (about 70 to 100 pages college ruled should do) You’ll use one for class notes and one for homework, which is periodically collected
*A folder with two pockets for handouts and graded work
*A book cover for your text (I recommend a paper shopping bag)
Advanced Preparation:
A. It is 2012 and just about everything is online. Including your math textbook. Now is the time to get access to it. Here’s how:
1. The website or URL is www.algebra1.com
2. You will see pictures of two textbooks. Click on the blue one.
3. On the next page that loads choose student/parent center.
4. On the following page choose the link that reads Online Student Edition.
5. You should now be prompted for a student login: our code is E369489470
6. If all goes well, the book loads as a PDF file which can be opened using Adobe Acrobat software, which is free to download. You will also note that there is a toll-free phone number you can call to get technical help. Use it if you need to! I did and they were able to help me out.
On Monday I expect to see your class notes from Friday copied into the notebook dedicated to class notes.
