End of week update, October 8

Hello everyone! Please see below for updates.

Intermediate Algebra
We finished up all our notes on absolute value and inequalities this week. A score for an exit slip was entered into the grade book. Students will be taking their final unit test on this material next Tuesday or Wednesday (whichever block day they have my class). I gave students two homework assignments- one is book work and is due Monday and the other is two review worksheets that are due on the block day. I like to give review worksheets out early so students have plenty of time to work on them.

Homework due Monday, October 12
Holt 3.7 page 215
Regular: #21-37 odds, 32, 43-49 odds
Challenge: #45, 47, 49-51, 58, 59, 63

Homework due block day (Tuesday, October 13 or Wednesday, October 14)
2 Review Worksheets - handed out in class

Just a reminder that students have 2 weeks from the day a graded assignment is returned to retake it. Some students need to retake the solving benchmark (they will have until Tuesday, October 20 to do this). Students are also asked to stay after when they have 2 or more missing assignments.

Our next unit will be Functions and we will be starting this after MEA!

Investigations
Students are working on their probability projects. They are creating a game or activity using the given resources and writing up rules and directions. They are then going to find the theoretical and experimental probabilities associated with their game. Each group/pair is also determining whether or not their game is fair and why.
