Updates/Reminders for Week of November 9, 2015

Hi All! Here is an update for both of my classes for this week:

In Algebra, we started working on slope on Friday. We will be having a quiz on Tuesday. Topics on the quiz: putting an equation into function form and then graphing using a table of values, graphing an equation using intercepts, slope between 2 points, and slopes and descriptions of horizontal and vertical lines. We will be reviewing in class tomorrow, Monday, and you will be able to ask me questions on anything necessary before Tuesday's quiz.

Homework Monday Night for Algebra: Finish the 3 review classwork assignments started in class. Answers will be posted on the blog on Monday, around 4 pm. *I WILL REMEMBER THIS TIME :)*

After the quiz on Tuesday if there's time, but if not on Thursday, we will be working on finding the missing coordinate when given the slope. You may not know what that means just yet, but after Thursday you will! We will then be starting to chat about slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, which most of you already know a little bit about!


In Pre-Algebra, we are about to finish our writing equations unit. Our test is scheduled for Tuesday. Tomorrow, Monday, in class, we will be reviewing, and I will be holding a review session with Mr. Costa until 3pm tomorrow if you would like to stay.

Homework Monday Night for Pre-Algebra: Finish the review sheet. The answers will be posted on the blog on Monday around 4pm. Make sure you show all necessary work, or you will not receive credit for doing the review sheet!

After the test on Tuesday, we will not have any time to discuss our next unit. On Thursday, we will be taking a Pre-Test on the unit we will be starting next. Although this pre-test counts as a classwork grade, and graded based on effort, I hope that you all take it seriously and try your hardest to answer the questions. You may not know any answers, or you may be able to answer a few of them already based on your prior knowledge/educational guesses! Let's see how you do!

On Friday, we will be starting the unit with interpreting distance time graphs and relating these graphs to verbal descriptions.

Hope everyone is having a restful Sunday. Go Pats! :)
