Course 1
Monday- Today was our last day of the Basic Skills Challenge. I will be working individually with students who were not able to complete up to at least Level 10.
Tuesday- We had a discussion about the four types of slope (students received a handout on this). Students worked in pairs to complete Partner Problems on finding the slope when given two points or a graph.
Wednesday- Students worked on an activity where they had to match graphs, points, and slopes.
Thursday- We discussed the answers to yesterday's activity and each student worked through finding the slope using the individual whiteboards. As an extension to this activity, students identified the y-intercept from the given graph and were able to write an equation for the line.
Homework: Work on project. Make sure Steps 1-5 are complete. We will work on the equations and graphs in class together on Thursday 10/13/11.
Finish writing the equations from Thursday's activity and be ready to present solutions on Monday 10/17/11.
Course 3
Monday- Students filled out an Algebra 2 Pre-Assessment card based on the 10 topics that we will discuss over the next 9 weeks. Students worked in stations to practice problems from each topic.
**Geometry Final corrections are due by the end of the day on Tuesday 10/11/11. They must be done on a separate sheet of paper, along with an explanation of what you did wrong and what exactly was changed. You may receive up to 10 percentage points added to your original score.
Tuesday- Students finished practice problems from stations. Individual student conferences were held to discuss test corrections.
Wednesday- PSAT
Thursday- Students worked in expert groups for each goal from the Algebra 2 Pre-Assessment. They discussed their answers to the stations and made posters to present solutions to the class as a mini-lesson. We will begin Inequalities and Absolute Value on Monday 10/17/11.
