Manitoba Marathon Parent Post 1

Here is the letter I have sent home with your student.  Please read it and return the note to school by Friday June 7th.

Dear Parent or Guardian   

Congratulations! Your student has been chosen to participate  on one of 6 Sargent Park Relay Teams on Sunday, June 16th. This requires some parental involvement.  As parents you are asked to provide transportation to and from the Relay Exchange point on June 16th.  Runners will need to be at the station between 7 am and 12 noon.  I understand the sacrifice this is to your family but appreciate your effort.

___________________ will have a ride to the Relay exchange point on Sunday June 16th.

__________________ will not have a ride to the relay exchange point on Sunday June 16th.

Not having a ride to this exchange point might eliminate them from participating in the relay. More information is to follow this week.

Thank you for your support of running at Sargent Park School

What DO you know about Algebra???

This is a video from a former student of mine.  It was done in ....... 2007. I would call it a timeless classic.



Now it is your turn.  I want you to create a post where you make a video explaining what you know about algebra.  It does not have to be long but it does have to have certain information.  Your post must include how to solve 3 types of Algebraic questions

I have called assignments like this unprojects. It is up to you to chose the medium in which you create the post.  You can sing, make a video, use pictures, use text, do anything as long as you have explained how to solve the 3 types of equation.

Format
Each type of equation needs its own information.  I.E. if you are making a video you would need 3 of them (one for each).
