Assignment for 5th and 6th Hour Algebra 1-A Students:

Hello 5th and 6th hour!

As you work through the Study Guide for the Chapter 5 test, you are bound to come across some problems that you might need some extra help with.

I would like everyone to submit at least ONE comment to this blog post. To do this, click the "comments" link at the end of this posting, and type your comment into the comment box. You will also have to complete a word verification step for security purposes.

For your comment, you may choose to either...

A) Ask a specific question about a problem on the the Study Guide

OR

B) Respond to someone else's question with advice



If you choose option A)

• Start by first inserting this heading at the top of your posting: Put the word "HELP", then a comma, then put the question number you would like assistance with. For example, "HELP, #4". 
• Explain what you understand about the problem.  Tell what you have already done or think would be an appropriate first step or first few steps to do.
• Ask your specific question or questions about the problem / explain where you are stuck.
• Sign by putting your FIRST AND LAST INITIAL and hour at the bottom. I will know who you are because I do not have any students in a given hour with the same exact pair of initials. It is fine if you recognize the initials of a classmate, but please help maintain privacy by not addressing anyone by their name or putting your own name.

If you choose option B)

• Start by first inserting this heading at the top of your posting: Put the word "ADVICE", then a comma, then put the question number you are providing assistance for. For example, "ADVICE, #4". 
• Correct any inaccurate ideas or incorrect initial steps taken conveyed by the person asking for help.  Be sure to explain why the person was not correct, and explain how your idea is more correct /makes more sense.
• You may either provide a hint like by giving them the first step, or explain what you did to solve the entire problem. 
• Make sure you explain your thinking, do NOT just tell everyone your answer!
• You do not have to answer a question from a student who is in the same hour as you.
• Sign by putting your FIRST AND LAST INITIAL and hour at the bottom. I will know who you are because I do not have any students in a given hour with the same exact pair of initials. It is fine if you recognize the initials of a classmate, but please help maintain privacy by not addressing anyone by their name or putting your own name. 
 

Good luck, and please email me if you have any questions!
