Algebra in Q2

Hi All,
Just a quick check in on the progress of the Algebra 1 class. As we move into the second quarter we have completed any and all review material. We are moving into graphing and working with linear equations. Students are expected to bring graph paper, a straight edge and a simple scientific calculator to each class (similar to a TI-30).

Please check in with your student regularly about how they are doing with the new material. Students who have previously been able to "ace" their math classes with little effort often find Algebra 1 to be very difficult. All students will need to do additional work to prepare for assessments, including studying their notes and working practice problems not covered in the HW. I am always available M-Th from 3-3:50 for additional help.

End of 1st Quarter Info

Friday, 10/19, is the final day of the 1st quarter. You can expect to see students report cards by the following Friday via mail. Since students would not have the opportunity to participate in interventions and review their test scores the following week, we will NOT be having quizzes in any of the math classes on Friday. Friday will be used as an all-purpose work period. Students should be prepared to do the following:

1.) Makeup or retake all missing or F grade quizzes.

2.) Complete and turn in any missing HW assignments

3.) Meet with me to discuss their grade and plans moving forward.

Lots of stuff

OK folks, I must apologize for a late update once again. Here is last night's HW:

Pre Algebra: NO HW, due to a miscommunication with my sub.

Tonight (10/3) the assignment is:

pgs. 233-234
1-4, 12-19, 32

The quiz on Friday will be on adding and subtracting fraction with unlike denominators.

Algebra 1: pg. 106 11-21 odd, 33-41 odd

Tonight (10/3) the assignment is: 

pgs. 113-115

3-23 odd, 24, 27, 47, 48

The students will have an in class review day on Thursday, followed by the Chapter 2 Exam on Friday. The Chapter Exam is summative and retakes will not be allowed.

A sample exam is available to all students as a supplemental preparation piece. It will be distributed in class today. This is meant as a study guide and will not be collected as HW. The sample contains the same kind of problems students will solve on the actual exam.

I have now updated the grade book will all retakes I have received up to last night's after school session. I will enter last week's HW scores tomorrow and the grade book will be fully updated. Look for quiz and exam scores early next week.

The end of the 1st quarter is Friday 10/19. This is a hard deadline for all missing assignments and quiz retakes.
