User names: Algebra Third or Algebra Third 2 or Algebra Fourth or Algebra Fourth 2 or Algebra Fifth Password: P@ssw0rd Class periods will begin with a "Do Now" question that will either be review of previously learned concepts or will be an opportunity for students to stretch their learning. As a general rule, homework is collected on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Assignments from the other days of the week are for practice and should be kept in the student's notebook. Accountability for this work will be on tests and quizzes.
