4th Period Algebra

Students have been exploring nth roots and fractional exponents in class. There have been no HW assignments. This more challenging material is interesting, but slow going. Check for an assignment tomorrow.

 

5th Period Pre Algebra

Students were assigned a take home assessment in their text. Page 196, problems 1-3, 7-10, 12-17.

As we begin chapter 5, most work will be completed in class over the next few days. The topic will be systems of linear equations.

6th Period Algebra 3/23 and 3/24

Students have completed sections on negative/zero exponents and scientific notation. Will begin work on exponential growth and decay functions tomorrow.




Only odds are assigned for 8.4


 

7th Period Pre Algebra 3/23 and 3/24

Students have been working on percent applications for the last two days. Below are the notes and the assignment. Most finished in class today.

We have started in on Ch. 6 on exponential functions. I am continuing to learn the ins and outs of this new curriculum along with the students. Students will begin work on this assignment today:

 

5th Period Pre Algebra 3/9 & 3/10

Students have been working very hard on learning the properties of slope-intercept graphing, as well writing equations. There will be a quiz on this tomorrow. Here is the 4.6 materials:





Check back after school for a review assignment that will be worked on in class today.

6th Period Algebra 3/9 & 3/10

Students have begun work on Chapter 8, which is focused on exponential functions, growth and decay. Here is the first set of notes and assignment. Check back after school today for the 8.2 materials.



 

7th Period Pre Algebra 3/9 & 3/10

Students are continuing to work on a variety of methods for solving problems involving percents. The notes for 7.3/7.4 were posted last week. Here are the associated assignments:

Algebra 3/3 (4th and 6th Periods)

Yesterday students worked on the Chapter review assignments in class:

4th Period: pgs. 282-284 1-13, 20-22

6th Period: pgs. 475-478 5-30

Today students will be completing and correcting the practice exam of linear systems. The practice test is an important informational piece that lets students know where they stand with the material. It is very similar to the actual test. Wednesday we will complete the exam on Ch.5/7.
