Unit 1, Day 1

Agenda

1. Welcome — the daily rhythm we will live by: How Math Class Works and Our Classroom Norms
2. Number talk: Graph Talks — a distance–time graph with no scale: what story could it be telling?
3. Random groups — How Fast Right Now? at the boards: the question this entire course exists to answer
4. Discuss: every group needed an interval to compute a speed — did anyone find a way to escape that?
5. The year ahead: Learning Goals — where this course is going
6. A quick tour with Using This Site — every page from today is already linked above

Things to do before our next class

• Set up your Math Journal and write Your First Entry: what stopped you at the instant, and what did you try instead?
• Check What to Bring — the whiteboards are already up.
