1/17/12 Homework

The students were given a half-page print out of their missing work (LOTS of failing students due to missing work). In class we reviewed the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines to a given line. Then we discussed writing linear equations. The homework is a worksheet (Writing Linear Equations) and problems #18 and #19 from their workbook (page 147) should be written and solved on the back.

1/13/12 No Homework

We discussed the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines in class today. Next week we will try to finish Unit 4 with writing linear equations and function notation. The test is tentatively scheduled for next Friday, 1/20/12. Have a great weekend - see you Tuesday!

1/12/12 Homework

All Classes: Worksheet on graphing linear equations from slope-intercept form (problems 5 and 6 must be solved for y before graphing - show your work and your final slope-intercept form). Some students were able to finish the worksheet in class.

1/11/12 No Homework

The classes are on different lessons due to the writing test. There is no homework tonight, but there will be some tomorrow on slope-intercept form that will be due on Friday.

1/10/12

The quiz on slopes last Friday (1/6/12) didn't go too well for quite a few students, so we're taking another one today for Academic 1 and 2 and Wednesday for Academic 3 and 4. (The students completed a mock writing assessment this morning to prepare for next week's formal assessment. Therefore, we have a modified schedule today and next Wednesday.)

1/5/12 Homework

GALT workbook page 141 problems #1-3 and #10-21. There is also a quiz tomorrow consisting of 10 problems on finding the slope (2 using 2 ordered pairs, 4 using graphs, and 4 using equations).

1/4/12 No Homework

Today we learned about slope. No homework tonight, but tomorrow there will be homework and a quiz on Friday.
