Monday, 10/14-  Section 3.5:  Graphing y=mx+b, with a focus on the characteristics and calculations of slope.  3.5 Worksheet is assigned.

Tuesday, 10/15- Section 3.5, continued, with a focus on identifying slope and y-intercepts, then graphing.  Online practice assigned.

Wednesday, 10/16-  Workday.  For students who are present for class this day, worksheet 3.5 is due at the end of the class period.  For students not in class (mostly band students at marching contest [Good Luck!]), the assignment is due at the beginning of class on Monday.  If possible, it should be turned in before leaving school.  The online assignment is due Friday at 4:00 for all students.  Plenty of time to get it finished.

Monday, 10/7- Go over Friday’s function test, review solving equations, Start 3.4:  Graphing Standard Form (focus on x and y- intercepts)

Tuesday, 10/8- review solving inequalities, continue and finish 3.4 (actual graphing)

Wednesday, 10/9-   Nine Week Test (Chapters 1-3)

Thursday, 10/10- Section 3.5: Graphing Slope-Intercept Form (y=mx+b)

Friday, 10/11- more graphing

 

Just a reminder about the Nine Week Test:  This test is used to replace a lower test grade.  In the event that it is the lowest test grade, it will be dropped.  In other words, the 9 week test can only help a grade and will never bring down a grade.  It is a great opportunity to bring up an average a few points.

My apologies for the tardiness of this post.

Monday, 9/30:  Functions Quiz Review and Function Notation worksheet with substitute.

Tuesday, 10/1:  Functions Quiz and grade worksheet

Wednesday, 10/1:  Input/Output function notation around the world activity

Thursday, 10/2:  Review Stations

Friday, 10/3:  Chapter 3, Sections 1-3 Test:  Functions, Linear Functions, Function Notation w/ and w/o DESMOS.

 

Advanced Notice:  Our 9 week test will be next week, most likely Wednesday.  It will cover everything we have covered so far this school year, mostly equations, inequalities, and functions.  The 9 week test will count towards everyone’s final average.  However, if the 9 week test is higher than any of the previous 3 tests taken, it will also replace the lowest test score.  A good 9 week test grade can have a great positive impact  on  one’s final average.

*Updates Made*

We will begin Chapter 3 this week:  Functions.  There will be daily practice assigned either through your student’s Big Ideas Math account or on Quizizz via Google Classroom.   These assignments may have several question, but the vast majority will be simple “yes” or “no” type questions and should not take up a lot of time.  My goal is for repetition in practice.

Monday, 9/23: Section 3.1:  What is a Function?

Tuesday, 9/24: Section 3.1, continued.

Wednesday, 9/25: Section 3.2:  Linear Functions

Thursday, 9/26: Sections 3.1 and 3.2, continued

Friday, 9/27: *Update* Section 3.3, Function Notation.  *I’ve got jury duty on Monday, so I’m moving the quiz to Monday so I can teach the lesson scheduled for Monday.**

We have reached six weeks!

Monday, 9/16- Teacher Work Day

Tuesday, 9/17- Chapter 2, Section 4:  Solving Multi-Step Inequalities

Wednesday, 9/17- Chapter 2 Test Review

Thursday, 9/18-  Chapter 2 Test

Friday, 9/19- Compound Inequalities

There will be a grade check at the end of this week.  It will be a important, because extracurricular eligibility will be attached to these grades.  This is why I am testing on Thursday, so I can get grading done to allow an opportunity for remediation and retesting before grades are submitted.  I’ll email a more detailed plan later this week.

Since we have a short week due to Monday’s holiday, I figured we could spend some more time mastering our equation solving skills, while adding just a bit of new material that follows the same rules as equations.  I plan on taking another test on Friday over equations.  I hope is to see improvement from last week to this week in terms of equation solving skills.

Monday, 9/2- No School

Tuesday, 9/3- First half of class: Solving Practice . Second half of class:  Rewriting Formulas

Wednesday, 9/4- First half of class:  Solving Practice.  Second half of class: Solving equations for y=

Thursday, 9/5:  First half of class:  Solving Practice.  Second half of class:  Solving equations for y=

Friday, 9/6:  Test #2:  Solving Equations (again), including for y=

We are continuing to practice our equation solving skills.  We are going to be solving, solving, solving.  So much, in fact, that your student may start solving equations in their dreams.

Monday, 8/26- Section 1.3:  Solving Equations with variables on both sides

Tuesday, 8/27- More solving equations: simple, two-step, multi-step, including equations with infinitely many or no solution.

Wednesday, 8/28- More solving equations practice, Quiz #2

Thursday, 8/29-  Test #1 Review (including grading and discussing yesterday’s quiz)

Friday, 8/30-  Test#1: Solving Linear Equations.

 

Important Information:

  1.  I post copies of my class notes into google classroom weekly.  If your student needs notes assistance, it can be found there.  I am also available before school daily at 7:30.
  2. Since our first test is this week, please allow me to explain how your student can bring up a failing test score, if necessary. If your student fails a test, they need to come to before school tutorials in order to be eligible to take a “Test Boost” that can add points to their test score. The number of tutorial days determines the possible number of points that can be earned back.  1 day = up to 10 points. 2 days= up to 20 points.   3 days = up to 30 points.  These tutorials (and the test boost) must be completed within one week of the test grade being posted.
