4. Rules and Procedures Take home Rules sheet and review with a parent or guardian Take home Student Information Sheet to be completed Sign the back of the Student Info sheet and have parent/guardian sign as well – Due next class period—counts as part of first homework grade

5. Student Self-Reflection On a sheet of paper in your notebook or binder, please take a couple of minutes to answer these questions based on your own experiences: – Am I a “good” student? – If so, what makes me “good”? If not, how can I improve? – What is the most important goal for me in this class? – What will it take for me to be successful in this class?

6. Whiteboard Warmup Question On the graphing side of the whiteboard, write the slope-intercept form of a linear equation that passes through the two points (4,1) and (-2,3). Then graph the line. Put your marker down when you’re done (3-minute time limit). Compare your answer with a student sitting beside you.

7. Here’s the equation and the line

8. Varsity Math? Work with the student sitting beside you. One of you will write on a whiteboard. Take about five minutes to think about how Algebra II Honors and a varsity sport are alike and how they are different. On the plain side of the whiteboard write your responses in one column for similarities and one column for differences. – Need two volunteers to record data on the classroom whiteboard.

9. Video—“The Right Attitude” Look for: Learning is NOT ____ Cheating What is learning? Two things required to be a good student Comparison to athletic training Slogan from a coach Two things about learning
