This document outlines the agenda and objectives for the first day of a Math 2 course. It includes: - Introducing the course objectives in different math domains like number sense, statistics, geometry, and more. - The plan for the first class is to get to know classmates, graph things they have in common, set goals for the class, and assess current math understanding. - Logistical details are provided about the class schedule, materials, and expectations. Students will complete a math survey, goal setting activity, and exit card to provide feedback.

3. What are we doing today?
Today’s Objectives
 We will get to know our classmates.
 We will graph and interpret the things we
have in common and what makes us unique.
