2. Algebra 1 Algebra 2 Mrs. Bashford

3. Who am I? My name is Stephanie Bashford and I have been teaching math at Arvada West for the last 2 years. I taught at Drake Middle School for 14 years before that. I have a true passion for math and my goal is to create at least some enthusiasm in the kids! I have 6 children and a wonderful husband and no life!

4. What do I teach? Algebra Algebra 2

5. How much homework? We could have homework almost every night. Students should be taking time to fill in their Interactive Notebooks thoroughly and thinking about their understanding. The point of homework is not busywork for home – it is to solidify true understanding of the content.

6. Help? For absences, help, resources and general information check the class websites: –ALGEBRA 1 http://bashfordalgebra0910.wikispaces.com/ –ALGEBRA 2 http://alg2bashford0910.wikispaces.com/

7. What next? All incoming freshman need 3 years of math to graduate (Algebra, Geometry and Algebra 2) and 4 years to attend a Colorado state university. It is VERY important for students to try hard this year in order to easily meet graduation requirements. WHAT IF MY STUDENT DOESN’T PASS ALGEBRA 1? –On-line credit recovery –Summer School
