Mysliwiec's Math Emporium--Home of Essential Class Information

Welcome I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome each student and parent to this very basic webpage. I learned about this new technology several years ago at BCSD's TechCamp 2002 and updated it in September of 2011. My plan is to always have the homework listed for the three different courses that I'll be teaching this year. These consists two sections of Geometry 11-2, one section of Algebra 2 & Trigonometry 11-2, and two sections of Pre-Calculus. Weekly listings of the specific assignments due for each day of class throughout the year will follow. These lists will be updated weekly so that absent students and their parents will always know what is covered/expected during each class day. I've also included a classroom procedure, expectations of students, grading policy, materials needed, and extra help sheet that each student and parent should be aware. Please be sure to sign the detachable portion and return it to me at your earliest convenience. Throughout the year I hope to expand this page to include many more adventures and links to other interesting pages and websites. Please visit the sites that are of interest to you. If you have any suggestions for improving this page please feel free to email me using the link on this page and let me know what you think. Thanks. Have a great year.

Homework corner The following is a link to a list of the homework assignments that will be due during the academic year of 2008-2009 for Bethlehem Central High School Math students that are in Mr. Mysliwiec's classes. All homeworks are to be complete and accurate before the start of each class. Students will be given fore-knowledge of when each assignment is due in class. Homework is a REQUIRED part of class preparation and participation. This page is provided as a guide and may be altered throughout the school year to reflect the ever changing needs of the class. Weekly updates will be given on the first day of each school week.Have a great year.
