You may be thinking I am avoiding you since I have been out for our elective for the past 3 days... and you're right. JUST KIDDING!
Sorry I am out again...I hope to be in tomorrow. As usual, be wonderful for the substitute and follow all directions on this page. If not, I will rename "Sam's Exit".
First of all, I would like you to know that tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 9 (when I'll be in), I will announce our Top 10 students for our MATHCOUNTS Team. This list was determined by the following:
#1: Your participation/enthusiasm in this class
#2: Your score on the Math TMSCA Tests (Practice and Actual)
#3: Your grades in your math class with me
#4: Your attitude!
There are 3 students tied for our last spot. Next week, we will have our final list when those 3 students compete in Sprint Rounds! I will explain EVERYTHING soon. If for some reason I cannot come in tomorrow, the list will be posted right here tomorrow at 11:50 AM.
For the remainder of the month, we will continue to practice as a class...
Look at this document. Read it.
There should be at least 20 concepts you are "not sure or have no clue about". In your Contest Math binder, grab some notebook paper and write down those 20 concepts and all the notes that follow it down (#1 being the most challenging/confusing thing you have ever seen). YOU WILL TURN THIS IN TO ME WHEN I RETURN. Do not waste your time and, although you may be hungry (lunch is almost here), concentrate and finish this task.
Once you are done, please start quietly studying the MATHCOUNTS "Bible". Silently work until you are dismissed. Expect a treat when I come back ;)
