 * Course Description:** Pre-Algebra is a course that is designed to provide students with the knowledge needed to succeed in Algebra I and beyond. Students will be encouraged to explore and solve problems independently in order to build understanding of the content. Students will have the opportunities to build real world connections and explain their reasoning using the academic vocabulary learned in class.

News and Notes

 * ** We are starting a centers rotation. On days where we do centers there will be no warm up. **
 * ** Look at the top of each day to see the total number of points for the day: **
 * D= Date, W= Warm Up, L= Launch, E= Explore, S= Summary, and HW = Homework **
 * **If classwork is assigned and your child does not finish the classwork in class, then they will have to finish the work for homework**.
 * There will be a notebook check and a homework quiz this Friday 11/6/09.
 * ** If your child does not have a math notebook, they will not be successful in my class for two reasons. **
 * 1) ** Homework and classwork combine for 30% of their class grade. **
 * 2) ** They will not have notes to study from and to use on their quizzes and tests ****.**
