I'm Finally Here!
Greetings WSE students!
I just wanted to let you know that I am really excited to be here with you all this school year. It took a really long time to get everything settled, but now that I'm here, it's time to get back on track. We have a lot of catching up to do!
I will be posting updates, documents, links, and assignments here so that you have another resource outside of class. So, for your first homework assignment from me (YAY!), I would like for everyone to respond to the following questions over the weekend:
1) Suggest at least one thing that you would like to see on the class blog that will make it more beneficial for you and your fellow classmates.
2) Are there any activities that you would like to do in class?
3) Share your feelings about math...how can we make it more interesting?
Please make sure you include your name and hour when you post.
Have a great weekend! :)

Algebra II Project: Equations & Graphs
Here are the steps to creating your equations for the project:
Step #1: Complete Yearly Budget (this will be the same for both jobs)
Step #2: Gather Job #1 Info
-How much do you make an hour?
-How many hours do you work per week?
-Example: $7.50 per hour *30 hours per week = $225 per week
Step #3: How much do you make per year (yearly salary)
-Example: $225 * 50 weeks = $11,250 per year
-For job #2, these steps will already be done for you because you know the yearly salary from your research
Step #4: Create Equation
Y=mx+b
M=yearly salary-yearly budget
B= debt/savings (debt will be a negative amount, savings will be a positive amount)
-Example: yearly budget = $60,360
M= $11,250 - $60,360 = -$49,110
Final Equation: y = -49,110x + 7,000
Here are the steps for adding the graphs to your PowerPoint:
Step #1: Create a new slide
Step #2: Change the layout to “Content with Caption”
Step #3: Click on the icon for “Insert Chart”
Step #4: Choose the Line Graphs “Line with Markers” (an Excel spreadsheet will pop up)
Step #5: Clear all default information
Step #6: Column A will be “x (years worked)”; Column B will be “y (total $ earned)”
Step #7: Choose x-values 0, 1, 2, 3,… & complete input-output table to find y-values (plug x value into equation to get y-value) the graph will create itself
Step #8: Copy and Paste table into slide
Step #9: Repeat Steps for Job #2 and comparison of the 2 graphs
Step #10: When will you be able to pay off the house?
-Set equation equal to the price of the house; solve for x. This will tell you how many years it will take until you have paid off your house based on your yearly salary.
*If you get stuck, refer to the sample PowerPoint*
