If you are reading this letter then you must be a capable mathematician. Staying at the top of any field requires dedication, perseverance, and hard work, and that is exactly what we expect from you this year. The person who will determine how successful you will be this year is you. Keep on top of the work and always let us know if you are having any problems with any of the concepts so that we can work together to ensure that you fully understand them. This should be your most successful year ever – it’s all up to you.
You will receive a math textbook for each unit. Once you get your laptop you will also have access to a massive amount of material that you can use to reteach, revise and extend your mathematical understandings at home.
We ask that you review the work that we have done in class with your parents as frequently as possible; but at least once a week.
Yes - we will have homework as a way of reinforcing what we have studied in class. This will often be started in class, so if you are focused you may be able to complete much of it in school. Homework is a component of the behavioral standards that we will set in class. These standards include Organization, Responsibility, Collaboration, and Reflection.
Math Class Expectations:
- You will take an active role in class.
- You will ask questions.
- You will be a positive team member.
- You will do your part to ensure that you are successful in math.
- You will make mistakes and learn from them.
- You will continuously communicate your level of understanding to me.
- You will review your math work with your parents.
- You will be a teacher and a learner.
- You will need to have a sense of humor!
What to bring to every Math Class:
- Laptop computer, notebook, and your mesh bag of supplies
- Completed homework
- A well-fed and rested brain!
You are going to have a great year. Now, let's get started!
Best Wishes,
Mr. Munden
