Monday March 1st, 2010….Task #14 – It is the first day of March and as always March brings March Madness the NCAA Basketball tournament. Find me an activity on the web that relates math to March Madness. email the link to Padrick77@gmail.com

Tuesday March 2nd, 2010…Task #15 – Delicious.com is a great site that allows you to bookmark sites all over the internet and share them with others. It also allows you to see what others are linking to so you can find what is best based not on a google search but on what people are actually looking at. Your task today is to sign up for a Delicious account at Delicious.com and then search for Einstien2 (that is me) and add me to your network so you can see the links I am looking at.

JUNIORS ONLY…This is the catch up tasks

Thursday February 11th, 2010…Task #4 – Do a search for Algebra Help on Google and email me the one you think is the best…email to Tony.Baker@edutechrus.com

Tuesday February 16th, 2010…Task #5 – Find the website for your textbook and leave a review in the comments of this post Your Textbook Online

Wednesday February 17th, 2010…Task #6 – Choose a mathematics topic and search YouTube for a video that can help you understand it better…post it as a comment in the YouTube Video Thread (If the video you have chosen is already listed then you will have to pick another one only the first of each video will receive the points.)

Thursday February 18th, 2010…Task #7 – Get one of your classmates to come to the website and register…once they register they have to make a comment to this post telling me who recommended they come sign up.

Friday February 19th, 2010…Task #8 – Click on the link on the left and become a Fan of my math class on Facebook to get your homework and notes updates right on your wall.
