Summary: Today we started by reviewing the rules and procedures of the classroom some of which you can find on the expectancy sheet here (COMING SOON). We then took a short quiz about the procedures (TQ01). We also talked about the option of buying your own calculator.

At the end of the class we started working on our first in-class assignment. The assignment is called “How Many Squares?” and involves counting the number of square on a grid (CA01).

Homework: OPTIONAL -> If you want to work more on you 4×4 and 5×5 grids you can. We will discuss the solutions on Monday.

At the end of class we talked about the required materials that you will need (paper, notebook, pencil, eraser). We also talked about optional materials like a calculator. Check out this calculator page to learn more about the best and cheapest calculators.

It was wonderful to meet you today. I’m looking forward to having a great year together. See you tomorrow.
