Daily Warm-Up/Homework CheckTake out homework (already graded at home)Begin preparing questions from the previous night’s homework

Come to class.

Sign in.

Pick up your supplies.

Daily WorkA Variety of Assignments, Projects, Labs and ActivitiesI will keep these assignments by date in binder

I will have had ample opportunities to correct, rework, come in for extra help, and learn from my mistakes BEFORE taking an

assessment.

Ms. Cooper is ALWAYS looking for students who are…Working cooperatively Solving a complex math problem Coming into classBeing prepared with your homework out on your desk Starting the warm-up problemActively participating in early morning help sessionsCompleting the Problem of the DayDoing bonus math problems and math related puzzles when you finish your assignments (must be done in class)Volunteering to read or do a math problem in front of the classVolunteering to help me out in the classroomVolunteering to help others in the classroomand many, more…..

1.) Place six X's on a Tic Tac Toe board without making three-in-a-row in any direction?

2.) Variable Logic: Find the value of each variable (A, B, C, D, and E). You can use the table to organize your logic. (Hint A = 5) If: B+A=6E+B=CE+C+B=8
