Week of October 17, 2011

Course 1
Monday- We are continuing our discussion on Writing Linear Equations.  Students had homework over the weekend to write the equations by hand to verify what we found in our activity on Thursday. 

Tuesday- Because of the results of a pop quiz given, we spent today working on operations with fractions.  Students created a flipbook that contains the rules for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions, as well as several practice problems.


Wednesday- Students worked on a graphic organizer to synthesize all of the different ways to write a linear equation.


Unit 3-Graphic Organizer (Blank)


Thursday- We worked together on Step 6 of the project where the students needed to create an equation and graph based off their yearly salary and budget.


Homework: Work on project...remember it's due NEXT MONDAY (10/24/11)!!!!!


Course 3
Monday- We started our unit on Inequalities and Absolute Value.  Students were given a graphic organizer (see handout below) and we worked on practice problems on individual white boards.

Tuesday- Students were given a quiz on solving inequalities, and we worked through the solutions as a class.  We also discussed solving absolute value inequalities...students were given a graphic organizer for this too (see handout below).
