=Miss Stanley's Algebra Class=

Welcome to Miss Stanley's Algebra Wiki. In this wiki I will post a calender of events, all classwork, homework, tests, quizzes, and most importantly projects that we will complete throughout the semester. This is a place where you can reference information, post questions, and present material that you have learned in class. I want this to be a place where we can create, collaborate, and understand the material at hand.

=Requirements - Each student is required to embody the following values=

Inquiry
The most important part of this class will be to ask questions. The only way that we can learn from each other and understand the material in a meaningful way is to ask questions. I want you to become less focused on solving problems and more focused on understanding ideas and concepts. Math is not a static body of knowledge and the only way we can discover more is by asking questions.

Research
Throughout the course of each project, you will be developing questions that will require you to do a fair amount of research. It is important that you not only understand how to ask questions but how to find the answers. You are being educated in the 21st century and it is important that you have 21st century skills.

Collaboration
In order to complete any of these projects you will need to work with each other and listen to each other's ideas. I want everyone to share their findings and help each other. We all have different skills and different strengths.

Presentation and Reflection
Yet, in order for collaboration to be possible, we need to create a place where we can share ideas. Instead of traditional presentations, I want everyone to become familiar with posting online and contributing to online discussions. By reflecting on our own work and the work of others, we can create a community that is fit for learning, sharing, and discovery.
