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.
