Hi All,
On Monday, the students take the practice math MCAS. Results will be sent home sometime before February vacation week! Here is the classwork and homework for the week!
PERIOD 3:
Monday: Practice MCAS. We started a review sheet in class, and it must be finished for homework. Quiz Tuesday on Similar Figures.
Tuesday: Quiz Day!
Homework: Finish "How are They Related?" assignment started in class after quiz, which is beginning our discussion on linear equations, tables, and graphs!
Wednesday: We went over the homework from last night to ensure understanding. We started notes on Independent and Dependent Variables, as well as Unit Rate.
Homework: How are They Related? Part 2 worksheet
Thursday: I collected their homework from Wednesday. We finished our notes on Independent and Dependent Variables and Unit Rate. We began an activity where students were graphing, writing equations, and interpreting tables.
Homework: Part 2--Unit Rates, Equations, and Graphs
Friday: We will begin our discussion on slope, starting with slope triangles. The students will be exploring slope triangles, and whether or not slope triangles are similar! We will finish class with a discussion of slope on a graph.
Homework: NONE!
PERIODS 4 & 6:
Monday: Practice MCAS. We started a review sheet in class, and it must be finished for homework. Quiz Tuesday on 6.1-6.3, Solving and graphing inequalities.
Tuesday: Quiz Day! No Homework!
Wednesday: We started section 6.4, which is Solving and Graphing Absolute Value Inequalities and Equations. We took notes, and developed rules for when the inequalities are "and" statements, and when they are "or" statements. We set up 2 cases for every inequality and equation: a positive case, and a negative case, remembering to switch the inequality symbol for the negative case!
Homework: Page 356-357 #28-54 EVEN
Thursday: We continued our work in 6.4. We practiced some tougher problems today, using small white boards and holding up our answers as quickly as we could!
Homework: 6.4 Practice C #1-25 ODD
Friday: We will be doing a RED, YELLOW, GREEN assignment on section 6.4. If your child takes a RED assignment, it means he/she is having some difficulty with this section. The problems on the RED sheet are designed to be basic and help the student understand the concept better. If your child takes a YELLOW assignment, it means he/she is doing OKAY with the section. The problems on the YELLOW sheet are designed to be practice for the concept. If your child takes a GREEN assignment, it means he/she is doing GREAT with the section. The problems on the GREEN sheet are designed to challenge your child on the concept learned.
Homework: NONE!
PERIOD 5:
Monday: Practice MCAS. During class time, students were able to complete quiz corrections on quiz taken last week on Symmetry. NO HOMEWORK!
Tuesday: We started investigating rotations in the coordinate plane. We developed rules for 8 different rotations in the plane.
Homework: Rotations Practice Worksheet #1-2
Wednesday: We continued investigating rotations in the coordinate plane. We practiced using the rules that we developed in class on Tuesday.
Homework: Create an Index Card with rules and any important things that you need to remember about the three transformations we have been working on: rotations, reflections, and translations. QUIZ TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK! The index card created is allowed to be used on the quiz on Tuesday!
Thursday: We practiced rotating figures in the coordinate plane.
Homework: Choose 2 more rotation problems from the practice page in class
Friday: We will begin reviewing for our quiz that is Tuesday. We will start by reviewing reflections in the coordinate plane.
Homework: NONE!
