NEW YORK — Danica
Keller has a message for girls: Cute and smart is better than
cute and dumb.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
McKellar, who played Winnie on the 1990s TV show "The Wonder
Years," is coming out with a book, "Math Doesn't Suck," to
encourage girls to get into math.
Danica says, "When girls see the antics of Paris Hilton and
Lindsay Lohan, they think that having fun being attractive also
means being dumb and irresponsible," the 32-year-old McKellar.
"But I want to show them that being smart is cool," she said.
"Being good at math is cool. And not only that, it can help them
get what they want out of life."
McKellar should know. The actress once struggled with the
subject around the seventh grade, but a teacher helped her
through. McKellar eventually majored in math in college.
The book includes tips to avoid mistakes on homework, ways to
overcome test-day anxiety and profiles of three beautiful
mathematicians.

I receive the following email on Wed
March 31, 2010.
"I also love your class I feel like a family and I team player in there.
And also helping the other players get great grades in the class."

Classroom Rules
Before
doing or saying anything in class, students
will
expected to do one thing:
Think of the other students in the classroom
before thinking of themselves. In other words, their
team is more important than they are!
If students follow this rule, then there will be no issues and the will
have a great school year in my class!
But if there are students who think they are top priority, then they
won't last in my classroom very long.
A more specific list will be posted next week!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Quadratic Formula can be
seen on YouTube
here or
here or
here and another great one is
here!
These teachers
sing it like I do! Some students are singing it
here.

AWESOME!
Mrs. Kardian is starting to put her notes online and you can see and

What
Do You Want To Do
This
School Year?
If you want try and retry
until you learn how to do your math, work in groups so that you
understand, be in a class where no one disrupts you or is obnoxious,
then my class is for you!
if
you want to be in charge of your grade, if you want to be a part of a
team and not get in any trouble, if you want to pass the Algebra I SOL
b/c you worked so hard that you beat it.......then I'd love for you to
be in my class!!
If
you want those things and you have me for a teachers, then you're
going to have a lot of fun this coming school year!!!!!
But
if you're looking for the easy way out, shortcuts, a passing grade by
doing very little, if you want to sleep in class, if you like to put
your own entertainment ahead of your classmates' grades, if hard work is
something that you cannot tolerate, if you're expecting the teacher to
pass you if you get close ........then my class isn't for you. I
recommend you get your schedule changed ASAP!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
October 18, 2008.
The progress report you send us is wonderful! I don't know what you are doing...but please continue. My daughter seems eager to do well in your class...this is something that we haven't seen from her in a while.

And how do you think
rich people got rich
and stay
rich? They and their
parents followed the formula above!

How Students Will Be Graded In '10 -
'11!!
Homework: Homework will
be assigned every day. I'm saying, students will have HW due every day.
There will be very little time to do any work in class. When it is
completed, I will mark it "on time," or "one day late," or "two days
late," etc. However, students get 5 points EC for each school day HW is
done early. HW will be gone over in class. I will work any problems that
students have questions on. All the HW that a student does will be
turned in on test day as a package. HW counts as 10% of a student's
9-weeks grade.
Quizzes: Students will
have a quiz on all non-test days (except for 3rd period, which will have
quiz every other day). Quizzes will cover the HW that we just went over
in class. I will grade quizzes and return them to the students THE NEXT
DAY, guaranteed! If a student is unhappy with a quiz grade, he may take
it over as many times as he wishes.........and the final grade will be
the average of the best two! There is a one week deadline to take
quizzes over, so students can't procrastinate.
Tests: Students will have
a test approximately every 2 weeks. Therefore, students will probably
have four tests every 9-weeks. Tests are long and hard! They will take
about an hour or more. But, if a student is unhappy with a test grade,
the same rules apply as with a quiz........he/she may take it over and
the final test grade will be the average of the two.
