Welcome to week one of the 2011-2012 school year. This opening graphic is intended to show the promise of mathematics for all students in two specific ways:
1. It shows that math is useful--people are employed day-in and day-out to solve real-world problems.
2. Mathematics, and math related-fields, provide the highest compensation for the work people do.
I hope that this promise of mathematics does not go unrecognized by you and that over the course of the year we are able to actually see and experience the usefulness of mathematics and gain a great appreciation for all the careers that involve mathematics.
The homework for this opening week involves three things.
1. Setting up a gmail account.
2. Fill out the form below:
3. Adding me as a coach at Khan Academy. In order to add me as coach you need to enter my Coach ID, which is my e-mail darren.burris@gmail.com!
I look forward to a great year!
