Welcome back from spring break!

Hi all! Welcome back from spring break. I hope everyone had a chance to relax and enjoy some down time.

Just a reminder that the end of the quarter is quickly approaching. The last day of quarter 3 is Thursday, April 7. Students in Intermediate Algebra have until the end of the this week (April 1) to retake the Parabolas Part 3 Unit Test (if they want and/or need to). Just a reminder- students have 2 weeks from when an assessment is given to complete a retake. After that, the window closes.

IA Homework (due Tuesday, March 29): Solving Quadratics by Graphing and Factoring

Students in Investigations can always fix any assignments they did not get a 10/10 on and turn them in again for points back.

Please take the time to check your student's grades this week. A handful of students are missing assignments or still have a test or retake to get done. I am after school on Tuesday and Thursday this week. I will also be in for 7th and 8th grade lunch on Friday.

Feel free to contact me via phone or email with any questions or concerns. Thank you!

March 14 Updates

Happy Pi Day! See below for updates.

Investigations
We are finishing up our Domino Effects activity in the beginning of class. Students used some information regarding Domino's pizza pricing to figure out how much they charge per topping and for the base cheese pizza for a small, medium, and large. We are then spending the rest of the day making Pi Day bracelets!

Intermediate Algebra
We are starting our unit on Solving Quadratics. Students will be taking notes in class Monday and then watching a flipped video in class on the block day. They will get time to work on homework in class both days. If students use their time well they should not have any homework over spring break.

Monday (due Tuesday 3/15)
Holt 9.5 book work, page 645, #15-23 odds, 25-29, 31, 34-36
Block day (due Monday, 3/28)
Holt 9.6 book work, page 653, #26-31, 33-39, 59-61

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I will be checking my email throughout break. Have a great spring break!

IA March 3

Hello! Students took their Parabolas Part 2 test yesterday in class. This has already been entered into the grade book. Today they started learning about the last form of quadratic equations- factored form. The block day (Thursday or Friday depending on when students have it) is set up as a self paced work day. Students had a flipped video to watch and then two worksheets to work on. Whatever they did not finish is homework over the weekend and is due Monday. Most students got the majority of work done in class and only had a little bit to finish up at home. A link to the block day handouts is below if you need an extra copy (students were told they can cross out question 17 and do not have to do it).
