Welcome To Math Class

Hello Math People!
OK, it's the first day of school for the 2009 Fall semester here at AEC's and I want to give you a heads up on what is going to happen over the next week. If you aren't feeling some kind of emotion (excitement, fear, anxiety, etc.) then . . . . We all get at least a bit nervous on the first day - teachers included. So here's hoping that your day is going / has gone well.
We need to think about what's going to happen over the next week, so here goes. The goldenrod coloured booklets that you were given have lots of important info but most important is the fact that there are some typical Consumer Math style questions in the back. After the first day pleasantries were over, we started into that set of mini lessons starting with Reading Charts Table 4: Tenants Package Policy. We will continue with the mini lessons on Wednesday up until our second tiny break.
At 8:17 or so, each student in the class will work on preparing an appropriate quiz in which they think best represents the lessons given up till that time. You'll then turn yours in and I'll choose the best one and that will be the Quiz on Monday, Sept. 21. If there is no best one, I'll simply pick and choose some good questions from several different students. The quiz should take the students 30 minutes at most to write on Monday. Of course, it may probably take longer than that to prepare.
So there you have it - our plan for the next week or so. See you soon.
Joe
