Mathematics or "The Joy of Numbers"

First things first.....

All of us are working together on math.... we must all be responsible for pushing ourselves to finish the course requirements for ourselves!!!!

Lets work towards helping our classmates rather than simply handing them our work to "copy" and claim comprehension or understanding of.
It is much quicker in the end to take the time to learn the material, than spend time backtracking to find where our skills are lacking..

Thanks all and now back to our regular channel...





Check your supplies...

For every math class you will need a pencil (or two), a coloured pen or pencil to mark with, a calculator to check difficult calculations, and finally enough mental alertness and energy to get through 40-50 minutes of cerebral exertion. A good plan for the first three items is to make sure to lay them out on your work area each day before you leave at days end.



Math Links

There are a Million math links out there. A quick google search of ANY of our math topics will yield tons of results. Only you will know which site you like best. Math is Fun is a pretty good web-site for our basic level math program (Although you may not totally agree with the designers choice of names.

YouTube is filled with people giving absolutely awesome lessons, summaries and reviews on every topic imaginable. If the explanation of an idea in class leaves your mind numb, you can simply drift into oblivion, or alternatively you can look for a version that "speaks" to you.

Your "Google Apps for Education" package contains lots of options, including Khan Academy which is very popular with students all over the world for practice and review at all level.
