Classroom/Homework assignment number 1 Assignment – Who Am I? 5 paragraphs The first 2 paragraphs should include information about yourself - family, what you like, what your plans for future are and what you did this summer – include how you used math. The next 2 paragraphs tell what you know about math – be specific, what is easy for you, what you have a difficult time understanding – again be specific. What makes it easier for you to learn such as working with a partner, studying in class, time to get one on one help? Be as specific as possible. The last paragraph will tell what you would do if you were a millionaire or a billionaire. (Songs will be playing while you write.)
