Algebra 11/18
The assignment for tonight is to take the notes for 5.3 and attempt the practice problems.
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.

5th Period Pre Algebra 11/4
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.
