11/3/14-11/7/14

Hi All!

I have been so busy, I have not even updated this week!

Here is a weekly update for Math class this week!
On Monday, we wrote equations from word problems that had variables on both sides. For homework, you completed a worksheet that had 4 word problems on it. I also handed you a review packet for our test that is tomorrow, Friday, November 7th.

On Tuesday, we did not have school! I hope you all enjoyed the day off.

On Wednesday, I collected your word problems that you did for homework. We worked on a fun review activity, where you drew and colored a face on a blank template based on the answers to your problems! For homework, you needed to finish the face activity and also continue to work on your review sheet for the test that is Friday.

Today, Thursday, I collected the face drawing that you did. We will be having a contest to see which face was the most creative and best drawn! You may be able to win a free homework pass! :) During class, we played a review game to help prepare you for the test. Each math class received +3 bonus points on their tests! Nice work! For homework, you must finish the review sheet that was handed out on Monday during class.

Tomorrow, Friday, you will be taking a test on writing and solving equations. I will collect the review sheet that you have been working on at home for homework since Monday. There will be no homework over the weekend! Enjoy!


Here is a weekly update for Algebra 1 class this week:
On Monday, we continued our discussion on similar figures. We worked on some more challenging examples and applications of similar figures. For homework, you began the front side of a graphing worksheet, and you had to finish the similar figures packet that we were working on in class. Last Thursday, I gave you an extra credit cross-word puzzle activity that would give you up to 10 extra points on your low quiz/test scores. That cross-word puzzle was due on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, we did not have school! I hope you all enjoyed the day off.

On Wednesday, we began Chapter 4. We worked on writing equations in function form, and then using a table of values to graph the equation. I collected the extra credit, and I passed back your tests from last week. In order to help improve some of the grades, I am allowing you to fix your open response on the test if you did not receive a 4/4. The re-do of the open response is due Friday.

On Thursday, we continued our work on function form, tables, graphs, and also worked on writing equations of horizontal and vertical lines. We did a grouping activity in class that allowed you to be paired with different students! For homework, you must complete page 215 #30-35 and 44-46. On #30-35, you must also choose 2 of the equations to graph. On 44-46, you must graph all of the equations!

On Friday, we will be graphing equations by finding the x and y intercepts. We will be doing a scavenger hunt activity around the classroom. There will be no homework over the weekend. Enjoy!
