Chapter 5 Exam grades are now posted to PS. If a student would like to reattempt the exam, the deadline to do so is next Friday, 12/19.

Below are the next three sections of notes for the course. We will cover these sections before the break and finish the chapter shortly after break. Chapter 6 is a combination of review materials from pre algebra and some more complex absolute value functions and inequalities.

 

Algebra 12/9

Attached is a copy of the practice exam and key. Each student should study a minimum of 30 minutes for the exam tomorrow. Good luck!

Students will begin work on negative and zero exponents today.

Algebra 12/8

Students will begin the review process for Chapter 5 today with an in class review work day. Assignment will be pgs. 345-348 1-21 from the text book and should mainly be completed in class. This will be student's best opportunity to get help from myself and peers. I will be available both before and after school this week, as well as at lunch if students would like more time to review with me.

Tomorrow students will complete the practice exam in class. This practice is intended to give students a good idea of how they would score on the exam if it was given tomorrow and should be used to review problems areas during study time that night. Students should plan to study a minimum of 30 minutes the night before the test. Study should consist of review of notes and practice problems.

The chapter 5 exam will be in class on Wednesday and will be the final test/quiz grade of the semester.

Here is a video lesson for point-slope form. This is not strictly P-S form, but it highlights the relationship between P-S and other linear equations forms.


 

The Tombstone Project

All math classes will be completing the Tombstone Project over the next couple of class periods. This is an enrichment project that exposes students to the great masters in mathematics and how it has shaped our history. Students may be as creative as they would like in constructing their tombstone, but any materials outside of normal classroom supplies (markers, tape, glue etc) must come from home. Details below:

The Tombstone Project

In this project you will design the tombstone of a great mathematician. You may choose to focus on both living and deceased mathematicians. There are tons of them, trust me.

The idea here is to not just look up some basic facts about a person, but to get more exposure to the breadth and depth of how mathematics has shaped human history. Think of this like studying the masters in art class. Find someone that interests you and dig into what they did and what their life was/is like. Feel free to take time to read beyond what is required by the project.

Each tombstone should include:

Full name, Date of birth (and death if applicable), Country of origin

Accomplishments and/or Areas of Interest and Expertise

Anything else you find interesting

Picture

The tombstones can be constructed out whatever medium you like, but all information MUST be typed. You will briefly present your tombstone to the class.

Hi Folks- Here is today's pre algebra assignment. In an effort to continue making this site more beneficial and user friendly, I am going to attempt to start posting video lessons that correspond to the topic taught in class. It appears that I will be able to embed the videos right here. Sometimes these will be brief clips of myself performing examples, but more often than not, the content already exists and at a production quality that I am not capable of. In these cases I will be using the youtube links and they should be friendly to whatever device you are using.
