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.

The Week in Review: Nov. 7-14

Tuesday's Teaser: Doubling Down

Since there were no winners last week, we're sticking with the same problem and doubling the extra credit points. Ten points can be had--equal to one test question-- for this really not to difficult question.  Once again....

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?

Answers, by Friday, with step-by-step notes, emailed or in person, before you hit the streets with your pillow case and power ranger costume.
