Updates for Classes; Monday, September 28

Intermediate Algebra

Students are presenting their data and statistics projects today. So far, they have gone pretty well! Most students used their class time well last week and came ready to go. A lot of groups had interesting questions (how many hours of television do you watch a week? how many pairs of shoes do you own? how many followers do you have on instagram?) and did well explaining their results.

There is no assigned homework tonight. The next thing we will cover is a quick review on solving equations (both multistep and literal). I suggested that students watch the following videos on my webpage if they are feeling rusty:
-Solving Literal Equations
-Solving an equation with variables on both sides

Students will take a pretest on Solving Equations tomorrow. This will let me see where each student is at and how much practice they need. I also told students to feel free to email me if they would like some IXL/additional practice sent to them.

Investigations

We will be finishing up our activities regarding probability sometime this week or early next week. At least one grade will be entered every week so please check schoolview regularly. Most of the time when an assignment is missing students have it but forgot to turn it in. Students are also usually exempt from an assignment they miss when they are gone from school.

As always, feel free to call or email me with any questions.
