I was at a conference yesterday, so I was not in my classroom during the school day. Here is a summary of what should have been done in each class!
Period 3:
Monday--Students worked on Problem 2.2 on Translations. For homework, they had a worksheet on reflection and translations. Period 3 has a quiz on Friday on the 3 types of transformations.
Tuesday-- We will review problem 2.2 on Translations, and move on to 2.3 Rotations. QUIZ FRIDAY. For homework, students will finish problem 2.3 that we will start in class.
Period 4 & 6:
Monday--Students completed a review sheet for their test tomorrow on chapter 4. They had an opportunity to check their answers on my answer key left for them. We have been reviewing for the test for the past 2-3 class days, so students should be ready!
Tuesday--Test Chapter 4 No Homework!
Period 5:
Monday--Students are working on triangle congruence. They reviewed the last 2 types of triangle congruence.
Tuesday: We will go over all 4 types of triangle congruence today again, and create study guides with examples for ourselves during class. For homework, they will have a worksheet with review of all of the types of triangle congruence.

Wrap Up---Week of November 26
Here's a quick look at what my math classes have been doing this week!
In Period 3, we finished talking about angle pairs and finding angle measures in polygons that are both regular and not regular. We started our unit on symmetry and transformations.
In Periods 4 & 6, we took a quiz on Wednesday on slope intercept form, direct variation, and finding the slope of a line. The rest of the week has been reviewing graphing and showing intercepts algebraically.
In Period 5, we started our quick unit on angle pairs and measuring angles when parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

Extra Credit--ALGEBRA ONLY!
Hello Algebra Students!
Here is the detailed description of the extra credit assignment for Chapter 1. You will be designing a poster for one of the four operations and "math word and phrases" (1.5 NOTES). You pick one of the four operations, and create a poster displaying the words that mean that operation.
What kind of poster am I talking about? Think about posters that your teachers have in their classrooms...What do they look like? How do they get the information to you? You need to find a creative way to get people attracted to your poster so that they will read it!
Posters must be on a poster board, not just a piece of paper! (normal size poster board from a store)
Posters must be colorful.
Posters must be neat.
Posters must have name and period on the BACK.
If you create a poster, and you follow the rubric, and receive atleast a 9 on the rubric, you will receive +3 on your test! We will be having a contest for the posters that will be on display in my classroom! If you win the contest (there will be four winners in each class), you will receive +7 on your test!
Here is the rubric for your poster:
Poster is written neatly. 4 points
All words and work are outlined in something other than pencil. 3 points
Name and period are on the BACK 1 point
Your poster is creative and attractive. 5 points
