Tuesday Updates!

Hi All!

In period 1, we went to the computer lab and worked on some practice MCAS questions. You do not have homework tonight. UPDATE: NO QUIZ ON FRIDAY!!

In period 3 & 4, we worked on the converse of the pythagorean theorem and did word problems related to pythagorean theorem as well. For homework, complete Pythagorean Theorem worksheet #1-12, where #1-8 is using the converse of the theorem and 9-12 are word problems. Make sure you show all work for each problem and draw diagrams for the word problems.

In period 5, we worked on solving linear systems of equations using the substitution method. We worked on more challenging examples involving distributive property and hidden negatives. For homework, complete the substitution method homework worksheet #1-6. Show all work and remember your answer should be an ordered pair!

Thursday Update

Hi All!
In Period 1, we worked on adding and subtracting scientific notation. We played a game, which earned some of you no homework tonight and others bonus points on your next quiz. For homework (if you have it), complete the scientific notation #1-12 worksheet on adding and subtracting scientific notation.

In period 3 and 4, we took a quick quiz on graph stories, linear and non-linear functions. We began our discussion on square roots and perfect squares. For homework, study your perfect squares and square roots.

If you go to the Resources section of the blog, there is a quizlet website for practice with the square roots and perfect squares!

In period 5, we continued to practice graphing linear systems of equations. We worked on some word problems today. For homework, you must finish the word problems from class on graphing linear systems #1-5. You do not need to complete the challenge activity.

Answer Key--Period 3 & 4 Test Review Sheet

Wednesday Updates!

Hi All,

In Period 1, we continued to simplify exponents and powers using the multiplication and division properties of exponents. For homework, complete the multiplication and division properties practice worksheet #1-8. I will be collecting this tomorrow. We will be taking a quiz next Tuesday on all of the properties of exponents.

In period 3 & 4, we began our review sheet for our test tomorrow. For homework, finish the review sheet. I will post the answers by 3:00 pm. Remember, your test is tomorrow! Study and review!!

In period 5, we finished our project on interpreting the slope and y-intercept. For homework, you must choose 2 of your partner's problems to complete. Remember, you do not have to graph the tables, but be sure to tell me what the slope and y intercept represent based on the problem. Reminder: you have a test on Friday on writing linear equations. We will continue to review in class tomorrow!
