  Welcome Textbooks -need to borrow from library if they have a barcode - I will check! Look inside the front cover - resource number - write on the sheet coming around Mandatory every lesson Workbook (can use OneNote if you like) & textbook (I will make it available electronically as well) Laptop Calculator - must be Casio fx-82AU

  Technology stuff... Moodle- you must use! Join the General Mathematics course ( password mathsrules) Facebook Group - look for Preliminary General Mathematics QR Codes - can you get a reader for your phone (should be free! - or already on it)
• 5.
  phones, ipods etcYou can use them whenever you want but...... Good manners dictates! This is the rule for my classroom only - don’t expect it from other teachers.
