Setting up the Room!

This is a room in progress:

East Wall

Here are some pics of what the room looked like in mid-build.  I went in to campus yesterday to clean a little and move the furniture around so it looked more like a classroom.  As you can see, it still has a long way to go.  It could use some additions to the walls, although I've made the desks look a lot nicer than these pictures show.  Also, I could use some butcher paper on the pegboards.  Following this time-consuming work, I need to go get the pacing guides and curriculum maps for English 10 and Algebra 1.  Hope to see some eager faces on August 15th!  

West Wall

We have a small space and I hope that the way I moved the bookshelves and cabinet around from the last teacher will open up the space, because I really don't like cramped rooms!

North Wall

This setup will be cozy, but there's a lot to work with and I've been promised a few student computers along the side there (West Wall).
I can't wait to get some bulletin boards up and start planning some lessons.
I'm really looking forward to this new year.

Warm Up 4/30

Warm Up Problems:
1. The slope of a line is -3, the point (0,-2) is on the line.  What is the equation of the line?

2. These three points are on the same line: (-3,0), (-1,1), (1,2).  What is the equation of the line?
[embed graph here from google doc with g(math) add on?]
3. Factor this expression:  2x^2 - 7x + 3

4. 4(3x+1) - 4 < 4x -8

5. Solve this system:  2x + y = 14
                                 x        = -y + 7
