Welcome!

This is a place where you will be able to check what has been going on in class. I will post our daily activities, the homework that was assigned, and look at what's coming up. I might occasionally post interesting math problems for you to try. If I do this (and no promises!) and you bring me in a solution, it will be extra credit.
