Homework for this week

Class update. Today we are working on the open-ended benchmarks. We will start the new unit (Geometry) tomorrow. Please keep in mind the following things. We have a S.I assignment (#6) which is due by Sunday night. Your Presidential Project is due Monday 12/12. I am putting the documents you will need on the side tab. You already have them, but in case you lost them they are there. 
A few key things about the President's Project in order to get that "A" grade. 

1. Your poster should be colorful and include pictures.
2. Neatness is very important. 
3. In your summary, it's not good enough to just include numbers. Talk about the process you went through to complete your project (I went to Wal-Mart to buy posterboard doesn't count). Even more specifically, make sure to make comparisons between your data and the actual President's. For example, if you find the median age to be 74 (it's not though...) you could talk about a few of the President's who were close to that age, what party they were from, etc. 




As of right now, HW for this week is as follows.

M - Study Island assignment due Sunday night
T - Study Island assignment due Sunday night
W - TBD, check back
TH - TBD, check back
F - Study Island assignment due Sunday night, President's project due Monday 12/12!


In honor of hunting season, I showed this video to 8th period (a few of you) about a week ago. This video went viral a little while ago and is pretty funny. Have a great day!!!

The "Monty Hall" Problem Explained

For 7th and 8th period. This is the problem that we discussed right before the bell rang. In case you've been wondering about the explanation (I know you have!), the following two videos talk about the problem. The first is the beginning of a movie called "21", which does a good job of introducing the problem. The second video explains why the answer is what we talked about in class. Enjoy your weekend!



Weekend of 10/14

Your HW for this weekend is to finish the 3.2 packet. In class, we did everything but the 4 questions on the ACE worksheet.

Great Video

Hello out there. I found a FANTASTIC video on solving really basic equations which breaks it down step by step. I would highly recommend watching this AT LEAST ONCE. At some point in time we will watch this in class as well. While this is an example of basic equations, they will get more difficult for sure. In about 2 weeks, if you aren't understanding this content, please see me and I will help you out until it makes sense.


Tuesday

HW tonight is to finish ACE 6-9. Have a great day!

Monday, October 3, 2011

Monday 10/3

Welcome to October! HW tonight is to do 2.3 ACE #6. That is the front side of the packet you got at the end of class. New poll question on the side, check it out!

Make sure if you have any missing work that you see me during COLT tomorrow. Don't forget, Study Island assignment is due again this Friday. Have a great night!

Thursday, September 29, 2011

This is really cool. Something to check out after you complete your homework!

9/29

Homework tonight is to finish the Investigation 2.2 packet. Remember, on the very last question you must extend both those tables all the way to to the point where they'd intersect (it takes a little while). 


Expect the next quiz sometime around the middle of next week. Remember, your study island assignment is due TOMORROW (Friday). I've attached the document on the right side with the directions in case you don't have it. 

Come to class tomorrow knowing your x and y intercepts pretty well. If you're in 8th period, you need to be at "Jedi Master" status with that content.

This weekend

Once again, quiz on Investigation 1 is Monday.

Remember, if you are reading this, we need 50 votes for the poll (2/3 of you guys) to earn a bonus question on the quiz! Bookmark this page and check back often!

Thursday, September 22, 2011

Quiz moved to Monday

I think one more day of preparation would be good for the INV1 quiz that was scheduled for tomorrow so we will do an extensive in class review instead and push the test back to Monday. That review .doc is still posted below if you want to look at it tonight and come in with any questions tomorrow. Also, we have a new poll on the right hand side! Have a great day everyone.

Quiz Tomorrow

Parents and students. First major quiz is tomorrow. Today I will be in the process of uploading spare copies of all the worksheets we use in class, most importantly the review for tomorrow. Please download a new copy if you did not bring yours home. This is a very important grade for EVERYONE. Best of luck!
