Math Experiences and Goals

Welcome to 8th grade! this is going to be a great year. I have been thinking about you and some of the awesome things we will be doing all summer. We are going to work hard and have a lot of fun at the same time. Here is an extra credit assignment for you to get your year started off on the right foot.  This assignment will be worth between 0 and 5 EC points so do your best.

Extra Credit Assignment:
So that I can understand you and how you learn, please tell me about your previous math experiences.  Give three examples of things you like and three examples of things you dislike.
**Please do not name specific teachers unless it is positive.

What are your goals for math class this year? What do you need from me in order to make this happen? 

This is due by Friday the 28th of August.
