I’m excited about this. It is the first time I’m trying to put up audio versions of my presentations so please excuse my umm’s and ahh’s as it plays.

Here are the presentations from Chapter 1.1 & 1.2 with audio narations. These will be great if you miss a day or just want to review what we went over. I don’t know how often I’ll be able to put these up like this, but I’ll try to keep up with it during the year. I’ll be sending a letter home sometime this week (and also posting here on our class website) showing how to download these presentations into iTunes and put them on to a video iPod.

Above each presentation is a link to the guided notes we used in class.

Here are the Slide Shows for Chapters 1.2 & 1.3. I am trying to find a way to add audio to the files so that it is more like a presentation. Some of the slides are pretty useless without explanation or the class discussion we had about them.

Chapter 1.2 – Estimation

Chapter 1.3 – Addition and Subtraction

Here is the chapter 1.1 slideshow we used today in class.
