Posting for Points

This website is designed for student use. Not just for those who were absent in class that day, but to encourage communication, sharing ideas, and discovery. As a way to promote communication, student involvement, and incorporate the ever-desired "Extra Credit", I'm going to try something.
You can earn bonus TEST points for contributing to this website by posting comments. Here is what you need to do:
1. Comment about something you learned in class
2. Post helpful links that you found searching the internet (click the "link" icon in the comments)
3. Post only positive comments!!!
4. To make sure you get your points, enter your name in the following way: First name Last initial, Period #
Example: JonathanF 2
Points awarded will depend upon the value of the comment. A comment of "I'm just posting to get a point" won't get anything, but something like "Today I learned that when you divide an inequality by a negative number, you switch the sign" would get a point. Better yet, something like "Here's a website that has a bunch of help for solving absolute value inequalities" would get 2 points! The big one is if you e-mail me with a picture you found that applies to what we are studying. An example might be a picture in the newspaper of a graph of system of equations.

I will also be putting up a POW: Problem of the Week. You can earn 2 HOMEWORK points for each solution you post. Be sure to give a clear explanation of how you solved the problem. Same sing-in rules apply as above.

Stay Tuned!!

I found a website that really help when you are confused about inequalities. Here's the link: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/ineqsolv.htm

This has a lot of really great information, especially about fractions. Here's the link: http://www.math.com/

This site is wonderful for extra help and it also gives extra practice worksheets to work on. I love this site and go to it about twice a week, and recemend it to anyone who is having problems in math.

This was the site Antoinette found.
Navigate to Algebra 2 and click on the chapter we are studying.

today in class i learned that most of the people in class really dont pay attention and that we really dont work well in groups.

Julia, this comment should be posted on the Oct. 5 entry. Why don't we work will in groups? It seems everyone was discussing the problems. I know there wasn't as much time as we would have liked, but what were some of the other factors?

Today in class i learned to do the 3 variable equations first by cobinding 2 equations then the other 2, then you put those equations togeter then solve for z, then check it. On (Classzone.com) you get a lot of help it gives you notes on that chapter and explaines that chapter very well through examples.
