Strategizing for the 2nd Term and Continuing to Puzzle Through Linear Equations

Significant time was spent during today's class to increase the likelihood that students will have a successful 2nd term which begins this coming Monday October 29. Grades for the 1st term will likely be posted early next week on http://www.snapgrades.net/

The document outlining suggestions and advice for the 2nd term is available at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcszzgg_58fpzct8 and was also handed to students in class today.

This weekend's home nugget should be completed with careful consideration of those guidelines highlighted in the 2nd term document. Good luck!
