Alright, so a small problem

In order to leave a comment you have to be registered as a Google/gmail user. You can also use your instand messenger name, if you have one. If you can't do either of these, just bring me the answer in class at this point. I am going to try to figure out how we can get around this over the weekend.

First Question

Ok guys, here is your first question. Remember, what you should do is figure out the answer, and then post a comment with your name and your answer. If you click on the comments link, you will see that I have done the first one as an example.

Which of the following is closest to the distance between point A and point B on the number line shown below?



A. 175 units
B. 275 units
C. 450 units
D. 725 units

Hey Guys!

Welcome! I thought that maybe we could give this blog thing a try. I figured it would be a good way for me to cash into the fact that so many of you are on the internet surfing myspace. If you are doing that, you should at least be able to stop by here and check things out.

Here's how it will work. Every couple of days I will post a question or activity for you to do. You will be expected to come up with an answer. When you get your answer, you should click on the "post comments" link with your answer. Make sure you use your name so that I know it's you. When I come on and check the comments, people who have posted will earn 1 point toward their final average. So, the more you answer questions and post comments, the more points you earn to better your average. It sounds fair, right?

From time to time, I may just post about the lesson, or the homework we need to be working on. You may not have a specific task to do for each post, but paying attention to the posts will help you in class as well.

So bookmark this page, and keep an eye out, the first question will be coming soon.
