Hi all! Please see below for class updates.
Intermediate Algebra
Students took their Solving Equations Benchmark yesterday or today in class. Overall students did really well. This was a check of mastery for prior skills so students must score 8/10 or higher to pass. If not, they will need to make corrections and do a retake. Grades for this (called "Solving Equations Benchmark" on schoolview) have already been entered.
Our next unit is absolute value and inequalities. Students have a short homework assignment to complete over the weekend regarding this. The first part of their worksheet has them watch the required video on absolute value equations and take notes (the video is only 5 minutes long). The back of the worksheet has some practice problems they need to complete. This is due Monday, October 5. Our goal is to test on this unit right before MEA.
Investigations
We are finishing up our last activity on probability called Spinning Sums. Students will be working with a partner next week to design their own game. They will decide what materials will be used, what the rules are, and will then analyze the probability of winning/losing.
***I will be available for conferences next Thursday. I look forward to seeing you there!***
