Homework for Thursday, January 7

Assignment:  Negative Ops Choice
Today you selected your own assignment based upon your comfort with the order of operations when negative numbers are involved.  We will continue to practice these, so build your skills carefully as they are key to your successful math future!
I have copies of the second two assignments, but not the first.  If you selected the first and "lost" it, then please do one of the other options.
30:  Next steps, from the same workbook as yesterday's page 29.
A:  Longer equations  (very similar to "30" above)
E:  Negative Operations with Exponents
Write our your steps; negatives require much more in keeping track of where you are in an equation.  Trust me.  ;-)
Due Friday

Also due:  Online Survey
2) Online Math Survey #2
This assignment is to focus on your strengths and growth goals in math for the winter trimester. 
*Your answers should directly reflect my feedback on your fall report card comment.
*The choice of what to select is yours; you may highlight one point or more than one if you feel it is appropriate.
*Both questions will be listed online in TeacherEase; please use the hint button if you aren't sure what to write.
*Your report card comments should be available online now in your TeacherEase account if you do not have your paper copy and would like to use it for reference.
This assignment is worth 4 points:  1 point each for answering the questions, and 1 point each for elaborating on your selections.  Remember that elaborating does NOT mean restating your selection, but it does mean providing details about how you feel about your choices, details about how you will go about meeting your goals, etc.  (For many of you elaborating might even be a goal, so this is good practice!)
Directions for finding this assignment:
*Go to your TeacherEase account.
*Select "Assignments."
*Note this assignment is referred to as "Online Math Survey;" select "Take Quiz" even though it is NOT a quiz.
Remember that until you "submit" your survey, you can close it and continue working on it later.
