Spring Break Update



I hope that you are having a really great spring break - but I will be excited to see you back in class on the 2nd.  I am so very glad that you have taken the time to check up on the blog and that you will be ready for class next week. 

I have choosen several areas for us to work on as a group - as these are things that most if not all of us need some work on.

We are going to start with practicing integers - positive and negative numbers

The site that I am linking you to is coolmath.com (a lot of really great stuff on here - check it out)  I want you to do through lesson #6.  She does a  lot a good explainations and then she has you do a few practice problems throughout the lessons - Please bring your answers with you to class on Tuesday.  It is also a good idea to take a few notes while you are going through these lessons.

Happy Easter! 

I will see you back in class on Tuesday - April 2nd

               Welcome to the Block D blog!!!!!


I am super excited - well for a couple of reasons - spring is hopefully around the corner (I do realize that we live in Idaho and "spring" includes a few snow storms) and second that you are in my math class :)  I hope that you are ready to work hard and learn a lot. 


There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.
