WOHS, Algebra 1: Plans for rest of semester

We have reached the point of focus and review for our EOC on May 4th.  Everything we do will revolve on preparation for the EOC.

9th Grade Classes:  We will be doing stations each week Monday-Thursday, and taking a major quiz on Fridays over the materials covered in our stations.  Each station will have practice that will be submitted for grading and the three quizzes will be combined into a major test grade.  The topics for each station will be based off of benchmark data and may vary from class to class, depending on need.

Week 1:

Tuesday, 4/11 and Wednesday, 4/12:  Teacher Station #1 and EOC Station #1 (Full class period per station)

Thursday, 4/13:  Desmos Station #1 and Practice Station #1 (1/2 class period for each).

Friday, 4/13:  Friday Check-UP Quiz #1

 

Week 2:

Monday, 4/17 and Tuesday, 4/18:  Teacher Station #2 and EOC Station #2 (Full class period per station)

Wednesday, 4/19 and Thursday 4/20:  Desmos Station #2 and Practice Station #2 (Full Class period per station)

Friday, 4/21:  Friday Check-UP Quiz #2

 

Week 3:

Monday, 4/24 and Tuesday, 4/25:  Teacher Station #3 and EOC Station #3 (full class period per station)

Wednesday, 4/26 and Thursday, 4/27:  Desmos Station #3 and Practice Station #3 (full class periods per station). * English 1 EOC is 4/26.  Will adjust calendar to accommodate.

Thursday, 5/4:  EOC DAY! HALLELUJAH!!

 

8th Grade Classes:

There is no need for three weeks of review for these classes.  Instead, I will go back and teach/reteach lessons that may have been rushed or skipped on account of time.  I’ll add these as I go along.  We will be taking a test in the next few weeks over this catch-up material.

Tuesday, 4/11:  Liner Transformations

Wednesday, 4/12:

Thursday, 4/13:

Friday, 4/14:

Thursday*- Section 8.1- Graphing Quadratic Functions

Friday- *Section 8.1, continued

*8th grade classes:  Wednesday will be English benchmarks, Thursday will be an Algebra Benchmark, Friday will the 9WT.  I know it’s not ideal, but it is manageable.

WOHS, Algebra 1, Quarter 3, Week 7 Plans

Monday, 2/13-  Factoring Trinomials where a =/= 1.

Tuesday, 2/14- Factoring Trinomials where a =/= 1, continued.  Big Ideas online practice assigned.   Due 2/16 at 3:45

Wednesday, 2/15 (Half Day)-  Work on Big Ideas practice

Thursday, 2/16-  Factoring Trinomials completely.

Friday, 2/17-  Factoring Trinomials completely, continued.  Quiz at end of class.

WOHS, Algebra 1, Quarter 3, Week 4 Plans

Monday, January 23:  Chapter 6 Review:  Topics include exponent properties, exponential functions and characteristics, exponential growth/decay.  A review worksheet will be going home today.  It will be extra credit if turned in completed on Tuesday.

Tuesday, January 24:  Chapter 6 Test

Wednesday, January 25:  Begin Chapter 7 over Polynomials.  Today we will learn what a polynomial is and how to classify it.

Thursday, January 26 and Friday, January 27:  Chapter 7.1- Adding and Subtracting Polynomials.  We will have in-class practice as well as DAILY online practice.

 

 

WOHS, Algebra 1, Quarter 3, Week 2 Plans

This week, we will begin Chapter 6 with the study of exponents and exponent rules.

Monday, January 9-  Begin 6.1 (Exponent Properties)

Tuesday, January 10- 6.1 , continued

Wednesday, January 11- 6.1, continued.  Exponent assessment, major grade activity. (Students will have an opportunity to re-try if desired)

*These three days will include short daily assignments sent home for practice.  These will be graded/discussed each day at the beginning of class.  This will be a great opportunity for several good daily grades.  At worst, it could be several zeroes.

**Due to benchmarking at the middle school, the daily assignments (and lessons/notes) will be posted online through Big Ideas Math or Google Classroom.  It is very important to check and complete these daily.  The Exponent Assessment will be on the day of your return.

Thursday, January 12-  High School:  Section 6.2 (Radicals and Rational Exponents). Middle School:  Exponent Assessment

Friday, January 13-  High School:  Section 6.2, continued.  Possible Quiz.  Middle School:  Begin Section 6.2

*Middle School students-  You have benchmarks on Wednesday and Thursday, so you will not be coming to the high school on those days.  You will report to your assigned testing room on those days.  On Wednesday (reading benchmark day), I will post the 9 week review to google classroom.  Please feel free to message me in Google Classroom or email me with any questions you may have.  On Thursday (math benchmark day), you will take the 9 week test (just at a middle school testing location) during the benchmarking time, since you have already benchmarked for me.  Friday, we’ll be back to normal.

WOHS, Algebra 1, Quarter 2, Week of 11/28-12/2

Things are about to move REALLY, REALLY FAST.  In the next three weeks, we will start a new chapter, review and take the 9 week test, and review and take semester exams.  Please encourage your student to come to tutorials before school if there is any confusion or if a lesson needs to be retaught.
