Attendance: I do not take attendance, but I do notice if you are not attending class. If your grades are high, I do not mind if you miss class occasionally. However, if your grades are low and you miss a lot of class, I will notify your advisor and the Dean of Students. Excessive absences can result in a lower participation score. As a matter of courtesy, you should arrive punctually and stay for the entire duration of each class you attend. Please inform me ahead of time if you must leave early.
It is especially important to attend class the day after a test has been given, for important new information is usually introduced then. I reserve the right to deduct a one- or two-point service charge on each test that, due to an unexcused absence, is not claimed on the day of class after the test is given.
Cell Phones: Please be sure that all cell phones and pagers are turned off for the entire duration of each class.
Calculators: Although calculators are not used on tests and quizzes, they are occassionally useful (though not essential) for verifying homework answers or for personal exploration of course ideas.
Your calculator should have buttions for ln(x), ex, cos-1 (or arccos), sin-1 (or arcsin), and tan-1 (or arctan).
Internet: Information about this course is posted on the Internet. To find it, go to my home page ( ) and click on "Math 307." There you will find the syllabus, homework exercise list, a course calendar, grades, copies of old tests and quizzes, and other announcements. I also post solutions to the quizzes and tests.
Office: Please feel free to stop by my office whenever you have a question, or if you just want to chat. You are welcome to come by any time that I am there, even outside of posted office hours. I will also be happy to schedule an appointment.
Tell me if you are having trouble. Catching up can be very difficult once you get behind, so let me know as soon as you think there is a problem.

Many math curricula, such as the Interactive Math Program (IMP) and Connected Math Program (CMP), emphasize problem-solving and do not provide answers in the back of the book or worked out examples. So how are parents supposed to help?
It is the teacher's role to guide and frame discussion, lead students to the important mathematical ideas, connect mathematical concepts, ask questions that help students see things in new ways and provide the mathematical terminology that allows us to understand each other. It is the student's job to work hard and try to make sense out of the problems and ideas.
The purpose of homework is to prepare you to discuss the problem and share solutions in small groups and with the whole class. At least 25 minutes of solid effort on each homework assignment will prepare you for the next day's class.
Initially, effort is more important than the answer. Many solutions will be discussed and presented by students in class. If you have a solution to share, that's great. If not, a solid homework effort will prepare you to understand others' solutions and maybe find another of your own.
Homework assignments may be collected by the teacher to grade your understanding and effort. Keep all homework (as well as class work, problems of the week, etc.) organized in a notebook or binder. You will need them when it is time to hand in a portfolio of your work. You can also use your past homework to help with new assignments.
Spend a minimum of 25 minutes each evening on daily homework assignments. You will need additional time for problems of the wek, unit assessments and portfolios. Homework helps you learn the most when it is done on time.
When she put the eggs in groups of two, she had one egg left over. When she put the eggs in groups of three, she had also had one left over. The same thing happened when she put the eggs in groups of four, five and six. But when she put the eggs in groups of seven, she had complete groups of seven with no eggs left over.
Student: Seven doesn't work because four times one is four and that makes three left over, but there has to be only one left over. Fourteen doesn't work because two goes evenly. There has to be one left over when you use two's. Next is 21. That doesn't work because three goes evenly. This could go on forever.
Student: Five's...I mean multiples of five, always end in zero or five. So to have one left it has to end in one or six. So the number has to end in one or six. what about 56? Wait...that can't work because it's even. So it has to end in one!
Student: What's the next one that ends with a one? ...231. 230 divided by 3 is...76.66...no good. What's next? ...301. 300 divided by three works. 300 divided by four is 75 - that's ok. Five works because it ends with zero. 300 divided by 6 is...50...is that it? Is that the answer?
