I am Ms. Goss and I am excited to be your Coordinate Algebra teacher this year.  This will be your one stop shop for all things Coordinate Algebra.  We (parents, students and myself) will work as a team to make sure students are successful for their first year in high school.  My goal is to make math as painless as possible and prepare you for your next math course.  In order for us to be successful at this, we are going to need rules and procedures.  I am going to list these here and we will talk about them on the first few days of school.  First, let talk about what you need for supplies.
