Week of August 20, 2012

Monday: Students were given a quiz on analyzing arguments. Then, they worked on the mini-project called Reasoning in Advertising (see handout from last week's post).
Homework: Bring in magazines for tomorrow!!!

Tuesday: Students were introduced to geometric reasoning through line and angle relationships.  They were given a handout of additonal examples, then worked in stations with a partner on practice problems.
Homework: Study your notes!!! There will be a quiz this week:)

Wednesday: Students were able to retake the quiz on analyzing arugments after a whole-class review session.  Then, we worked further with geometric reasoning.

Thursday: We did more practice problems on line and angle relationships on whiteboards as a class.  Then, students were introduced to algebraic reasoning through an activity with number tricks.

Friday: We continued the activity on number tricks.  The students were to come up with an algebraic expression based on the given steps.  Then, they were able to create a number trick of their own (including the expression and starting/ending table) to present to the class.

**Unit 1 Test next week....date TBA**


REMEMBER TO COME TO TUTORING IF YOU NEED HELP...ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO STRUGGLED ON THE QUIZ THIS WEEK!!!
