Great job to those of you who've been keeping up with your homework assignments. Those of you who haven't - you know who you are :(.
The policy for this week is that all of Monday's and Wednesday's assignments must be finished by Wed Mar 2 or you'll need to stay back an hour on Wednesday (4-5 pm) to work on your assignments. Homework needs to be completed on time, but if you don't finish for any reason on time make sure it's all done by Wed. No excuses!!! You've been given sufficient warning and time to complete the work. If you have any questions or doubts, email or IM me. I won't accept any excuses like "i couldn't figure out how to use the website" or "I couldn't find the module" - email me and I'll help you. Also, not having internet access is not an excuse - you need to make your best effort to get access this weekend. Go to a friend's house if you can. If you ABSOLUTELY cannot gain access, you should call a friend and tell him/her to email me and let me know that you don't have access. I will also check with your parents to confirm that you couldn't access the net.
In summary, if you have any problems contact me and we'll figure something out. If you don't contact me, then I won't accept any excuses.
1) Spend a total of 3 hours (doesn't have to be a continuous 3 hours) this weekend working maths sums and watching maths tutorial videos
(keep track of the exact amount of time you spend actually working problems/watching videos on the site - even if you work for 20 minutes then take a 2 hour break then come back for 30 min etc.)

PROBLEMS
Work through as many of the following modules as you can in 3 hours. The modules are:
If you finish those before your 3 hours are complete, work the following modules
To Work Problems
- Click on "Practice" at the top left of the screen
- A starry constellation thing will appear on the right side of the page. Use the (-) button to zoom out.
- Scroll down the starry page quite a ways. Stop when you see "Linear Equations", "Graphing Points" etc. towards the left of the screen (it may be a bit difficult to spot them so be patient and keep looking)
- Scroll a bit further till you see "Systems of Equations" - double click on it
- A problem will show up on the screen; work the problem and click on the answer choices
(f you're not sure how to work the problem, click on the "Need help - watch a video" link at the bottom; you can watch videos on pertinent topics that will help you with the questions)
- You'll immediately find out whether your answer was correct; if it wasn't, re-do the problem until you get it correct (you can always ask for a hint to help you)
- Once you've gotten an answer correct, move on to the next question; keep working problems until you get 10 in a row correct
- Once you've gotten 10 in a row right (and you feel completely comfortable with the topic - if you'd like more practice, by all means, continue working problems in the module) click on "practice" again at the top left
- Again scroll down the starry thing until you get to "Line Graph Intuition" (which is a bit lower and to the right of "Systems of Equations")
- Do the same thing for this module as for the last one (keep working problems until you get 10 right or until you feel you've had sufficient practice)
- Work through the list of modules above. They're sometime difficult to find in the starry thing but keep looking or ask me if you just can't find one of them. After you've spent a total of 3 hours working, you can stop regardless of where you are in your modules (it's ok if you haven't finished them all).
