Course Introduction
10.1 
​Introduction to D2L and Webwork

There is no Class Prep Assignment for Day 1.
​​Bring a 3-ring binder (1-inch or larger), paper, pencil and eraser. A few colored pencils, pens or highlighters are recommended.
We will be using a free online graphing website called desmos.com. If you have a cell phone, laptop or tablet you are welcome to bring it. 

​Webwork Introduction Video
This video is from a Math 20 class in a previous term so yours will look a little different but it will help you learn to navigate in D2L and Webwork. 
Here is a very useful video on math anxiety
Blank copies will be handed out in class and posted here after each class.

The solutions to class activities will be posted here after each class
