Glad we were able to connect in the store and here is the site we discussed. If you have questions at any time, you can email me at mbriscoe@myedme.com. The sections below are divided into reading and math sections.
Updates!
- Complete the first 6 pages of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
- Complete the introductory materials on functions and equations.
- Note: There are now 6 readings on informational topics. Try to read one in the next 2-3 days.
Reading Section – Fiction
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is half mystery and half a record of how people lived in New York a long time ago. We are using it as an interesting way to build vocabulary and see how citing evidence goes. Please complete the readings and questions here by Sunday, January 5.

Reading Section – Nonfiction
The reading about NC State’s admission information is first. Then there are readings about electronics. These readings are at a slightly lower reading level, so you can really focus on finding evidence within the text.

Readings about science:
- How a Tesla Model S Operates
- The Magical World of Television
- Cool Tech: Smartphones
- Electric Grid
- Laptops & Computers

Math Section
Equations are powerful because they tell us what is true. In math class, we often complete equations to make them true. You started this by solving 2 + 3 = and then progressed to 5 x ? = 45. Now we use this idea often in algebra to work with unknown numbers represented by variables.
Ratios and rates show us how to things are related. For example, a recipe may have 1 cup of berries for every pound of melon. A marathon runner may move at 5 miles per hour. We can use these relationships to create powerful equations.
- (1 cup)b = (1 pound)m, where b stands for berries and m stands for melon
- D = 5t, where D stands for total distance traveled and t stands for time.
This list of question sets will grow but here is some initial work with thinking critically about equations.

If you want to use the comment sections, you will just have to register as a user first. There is a button in the upper right corner that shows you how to do that.
Also, here is the January calendar with times when we can touch base for a face-to-face. In the meantime, I will check in on your progress from time to time to ensure things are off to a strong start.
I have had a couple more new people sign up the last couple days, so we are going to be open from 3:30pm-8pm Thursday and Friday. If you want to work from here, you are more than welcomed.
Please email or comment at any time with questions!
