For Your Viewing Pleasure
Seating Charts. Well, seating chart, actually. 3rd Period, check your initials to find your new home. The goal is, of course, to get all of us to learn and thus pass the class. That's what they pay me to do, so it's not punishment or personal.
The other periods are being worked on, but I'm not sure all of the other classes really need one right now. We'll see.

Tuesday's (Belated) Teaser
Here she is:
Three consecutive numbers add up to 105 if the first number is multiplied by one, the second number is multiplied by two, and the third number is multiplied by three. What are the three consecutive numbers?
This is almost too easy to qualify as a teaser. Take advantage of this very solvable problem.
E-mail or submit solution with work attached before the end of the day named after Freya, the Norse goddess of love, beauty and fertility. If correct, 10 extra credit points are yours.

What's Next for Algebra I Students
We're getting close to wrapping up our unit on equations, although we will be practicing and using them all year. So what's after that, you ask? These topics:
This should get us well into the 2nd quarter. Now you know.....
Opposites & Reciprocals
The Real Number System
Absolute Value, Including Equations
Number Properties
Algebraic Proofs
Inequalities
The Coordinate Plane
Literal Equations Test Results
If you can't find your code, it's because:a) you were absent (8)
b) you did not put a code on your test (5)
c) you put someone else's code on your test. (2)
But, for everyone else........
