Math 8 ~ Week 5 ~ February 3 - 7

Monday:  Today we reviewed how to find the slope of a line when we have a graph.  Homework is a slope worksheet that can be found in my class if you've lost it.  The only change is that you need to find each slope 2 times to show that the slope is the same no matter which points you choose.

Tuesday:  Today we reviewed finding slope when you are given 2 points.  Remember there are 2 methods:  Plot the points and count or follow the steps from your notes.  Homework is the worksheet you were given in class.  We spent quite a bit of time working on it in class so finishing it should be no trouble!

Wednesday: Today we looked at ways slope is used in the real world.  Our focus was mostly on rate of change.  Remember that since we are talking about a rate, you need to include measurements for each number.  Homework is the Rate of Change Worksheet.

Thursday:  Today we did task 2 together in class.  All students should have turned it in before they left the class period.  Absent students will have a chance to make it up next week.

Friday:  Today we took a quiz on rate of change.  Period 1 students have homework on pg 810 # 15-20, 23  & 24.  Period 6 has the assignment of getting all missing work caught up.  Remember that all missing work is due by Thursday, February 13!
