info for honors math students

Welcome Math Honor Students!

Hope you enjoy the class, the class meets your expectations and that you are more confident to sign up for a AP math course like Stats or Calculus.

Here are things to expect.

1.    I try to keep both lectures and class question time to a minimum.

2.    We will do most of the work in class a `la “flipped classroom.”  That does not mean you do not have any responsibilities outside of class.  It is quite contrary.

a.    If you don’t finish the work in class, you should do so at home.

b.    If you are not sure you totally absorbed the new concepts, you should go over it on your own, with someone else or watch a video on Youtube.com.

c.     If you feel like you did absorb the concept, you should go over it one more time and explain it out loud to yourself in the mirror or another person.

d.    If there is a test that week, you should start preparing several days in advance.  That way you can ask questions in class about ideas/ problems that feel challenging.

There are other things that can help you succeed:  good attendance, good attitude, good collaboration with others during class, deliberate and concerted focus and being personally accountable.

I wish you all good luck and look forward to helping you become better and more confident mathematicians!
