Hello everyone!
In today’s class, we ran a very productive and efficient group lab experiment that dealt with a bungee jump experiment. By the end of today’s classes, students should have completed their tables of data and created their graph. On tuesday when we return from the holiday, we will begin with problem #1 and answer their questions.
Have a productive, relaxing, and safe labor day weekend!

Good afternoon everyone!
This is just a message to inform everyone that there has been a homework assignment assigned for tonight, due tomorrow in our math class. Students (today) have been working on Unit 1, Lesson 1, Investigation 2. Homework for tonight will be to complete the “On Your Own” activity which will include extension problems from our previously learned material. We will briefly go over these problems and we plan to begin our next investigation.
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!

Hey Everyone!
Today in class, we completed our 5- minute warm-up that focused on the introduction to probability and chance. Following the 5-minute warm-up, we answered several questions that students had from the student survey. We also began the investigation #2 of lesson 1 in Unit 1 that focuses on “taking Chances” and dice-tossing scenarios. We finished problem #1, and will continue onto the remainder of the packet tomorrow. What we do not finish tomorrow will be due for homework on wednesday.
Just a reminder, we do not have school on friday due to the Labor Day weekend. Just a note for parents.
Agenda and Homework for this week!

Hello everyone!
This week, it has been a pleasure to get to know the students and parents of the William Penn 9th grade Team E! I look forward to meeting with all of you throughout this year, and working to make your students the most successful team at Penn!
This week in class has been a lot of fun, and we have started to get down to business. Wednesdayand Thursday was an opportunity to introduce ourselves (Mr. Land and Mr. McNulty) and to get to know the students. We have completed a student survey, and have reviewed both the class syllabus and class rules.
For homework this weekend, students are expected to have their classroom materials including a binder with several tabs for sections. Everything completed in class this year will be three-hole punched for them, to maintain organization.
Thanks for checking in, and have a great, safe weekend!!
Welcome to the 2008-2009 WPHS School Year!

Welcome everyone to this year’s first post for the WPHS Team E Integrated Math I Blog!
We hope that everyone had a restful and safe summer, and we look forward to working with you this school year!
On Wednesday, students will be receiving student and parent surveys. Parents, please take some time to fill out as much as possible on this survey. This information will give us a chance to get to know you prior to Open House, and also have a chance to learn even more about your students and what we can do as instructors to best assist them in the classroom. Students will also receive a syllabus and classroom rules that must be reviewed and signed by both the student and parent.
Thank you for your time! Please check back daily for updates to our class progress, and we look forward to meeting and working with all of you soon!
Regards,
Mr. McNulty and Mr. Land
