  6. If you have a problem, find a solution.

  7. My Class Rules • Black or dark blue pen only; no White-out • Have loose-leaf paper you can turn in; use notebook for class notes • Clean up after yourself; recycle • Skip lines on all assignments • Be patient – wait your turn • Be an individual - Do your own work • Don’t talk over each other – everyone has the right to be heard • Electronic devices away unless okayed by teacher • Bathroom only when working individually or in groups (Don’t interrupt me or your classmates unless an emergency) • Respect my time and I’ll respect yours– don’t be late.

  8. Get plenty of sleep at home so you don’t fall asleep in class!

  9. How to get a C: Do the work. Do the work on time. Do all the work on time. How to get a B: Do all the work a little better, on time, more than the bare minimum required; add something. How to get an A: Do all the work above and beyond a little better, on time. Take initiative, think outside the box. I do not give you grades nor am I responsible for your grade. You and math are. You earn the points and math does the rest. If you want a better grade, give the math something better to work with.

  10. So, let’s take a few minute to test your brain powers and knowledge of the world.

  11. Why are you here? How did you get here? Do you need to be here? Do you wish you were there?

  12. By living and learning.
