Algebra 1A

Make sure you read and understand every line before you begin any work!

For those that did not pass the final you are going to bring in 25 extra credit assignments off of the All Algebra 1 content blog. Make sure you number them 1 - 25 (they all have to be different) and all answers correct. The extra credit that you have already completed does not count. The concepts you can do the extra credits on are the following:

Factoring, Fractions, Integers, Exponents, Distributive Property, Order of Operations, and Variables/Substitution/Simplifying Expressions

Requirements for Re-take.
- The entire exam self-assessed
- 25 extra credit assignments numbered and signed (click on the following link http://cid-7dbe813e658123a1.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Extra%20Credit%20Documentation.xls#resId/7DBE813E658123A1!149 and print out the extra credit documentation form)
- All re-takes will only be done after school during my office hours when we get back from break, so you must come to me with the necessary documents and a positive attitude in order to re-take the Final (I will not remind any of you, it is your grade not mine).


For those that passed the Final just do as many extra credits as you can because you want a cushion going into intercession.

If there are any question post a comment on this blog. I will check it periodically.

Algebra 1

Make sure you read and understand every line before you begin any work!

For students that did not pass the "GateWay" for the second time you will complete 30 extra credit assignments from Distributive Property, Equations (solving) and System of Equations (solving). Make sure you number them 1- 30, all answers are correct, and eveyone of them are different. The extra credit that you have already completed does not count.(Distributive property will be the last ones that you complete after you do System of Equations (solving).

Requirements for Re-take
- The second "GateWay" completely self-assessed
- 30 extra assignments numbered and signed (click on the following link http://cid-7dbe813e658123a1.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Extra%20Credit%20Documentation.xls#resId/7DBE813E658123A1!149 and print out the extra credit documentation form)

Something Extra

I need a favor from all of you (or just those that are willing to do this extremely difficult task). I would like some of you to go to the http://mrlakey.blogspot.com/ and post a comment on the "Current and Former Student Comment" page. This also may be extra credit. I would like truthful comments with absolutely NO profanity. If you comment is not positive it does not bother me as long comes from a place of constructive criticism and not immaturity. I know that most of you have not known me all that long, but I think you have a good feel about me as an educator. So help me out with this request.

Also, there are advertisements on the middle right hand corner of http://mrlakey.blogspot.com/. Click on one of them and write a small , 2 to 4 sentence paragaraph about the site and what it is about, how helpful it would be. I chose to have those sites on there but I have not been able to go to them. If any one of you can do that for me and turn in what you think, that is additional extra credit. All of you have several opportunities to perfom above average in my class, I hope you see that.
