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!

Algebra ~ Week 4 ~ January 27 - 31
Monday: Today we did Task 1 in class. The assignment is below and it is due on Tuesday.
Task 1
A customer would like an open box made from copper that has a volume of 120 cubic inches. It needs to be three inches tall. They don't care how wide it is, but it must be 3 inches longer than it is wide. copper sheets are sold in rectangular pieces. What re the dimensions of the copper sheet you should buy in order to build this box? For extra points: If copper costs$0.30 per square inch, how much will it cost to build this box?
Tuesday: To get us ready for Wednesday's lesson, today we learned how to solve equations using the square root method. Homework is Pg 636, # 4-28 evens
Wednesday: Today we learned how to complete the square. Complete the Square Video Homework is Pg 646, # 3-8, 16-23
Thursday: Today, students worked in class on Completing the square with more complex problems. Homework is Pg 646 # 31-39
Friday: Today we took a quick quiz on completing the square. This weekend is a catch-up weekend. Use it to do any missing work or test corrections that you may need to get done!
