Welcome to Mrs. Morin's Wiki...a source for exploring mathematics.

**How it works**
 * A wiki is just a website where anyone who joins can edit. So the first thing you have to do is join! Please make sure the username you are using is something you will remember and a name that I will recognize. (just click on join on the top right. If you are already a member of wikispaces, you have to remember your username and password)
 * To add anything, just hit the edit button and save it when you are done. Play around with links (you can add pictures, videos, links) and make any additions you like (even to the home page! This is OUR wiki).

**History Assignment (ongoing)**
 * Your first assignment will be to research an interesting person related to the field of mathematics, and what contribution they made. I will assign one student in each class this responsibility each week.
 * When YOU are the assigned person, you must decide who you want to learn about (say, for instance Pythagoras or Sonia Kovalevsky), search for your class link, and then add a link with the person you researched. I want you to describe what you learned about your person and SYNTHESIZE what you learned as concisely as possible. That way, those reading about it get the "gist" of what you researched. In addition, you must add a link giving interested classmates (and me) and opportunity to read more about your person and their contribution to mathematics.
 * When you ARE NOT the assigned person for the week, you need to check out what the assigned person wrote. Some weeks we may discuss it in class. I will often include our weekly topics on tests and quizzes for extra credit, so make it a habit to go to the wiki every week!
