Categorizing Numbers, Mulling Over Closure and Other Varied Topics

Students are being reminded constantly that they are accountable for taking Cornell Notes on a daily basis, in alignment with the criteria prescribed to them in class. On an unannounced day, class notes will be collected and graded as a test grade.

Today was yet another opportunity for students to demonstrate their willingness and ability to successfully complete an independent study and show their mastery of material in class. Topics covered included:

• Assigning numbers to specific number systems
  
• Deciding whether a number system is closed under a particular operation
  
• Finding square roots of values, whether they have perfect roots or not
  
• Graphing on a number line
  

Tonight's lesson will be spot-checked tomorrow and is an opportunity to practice the skill sets covered in class today.
