Learning Targets for this week:
  • Graph a line using only slope & y-intercept
  • Write an equation for a line given 2 points ( 1 being the y intercept)
  • Write an equation for a line when the line is given (and the line crosses the y axis)

May 20, 2011

QUIZ MONDAY 8.1-8.3

You will have a quiz on MONDAY, MAY 23 which will cover the following Learning Targets:

Friday, May 20, 2011

In Class:
We finished the Notes for 8.3 X & Y Intercepts
Students practiced finding x & y intercepts and graphing the line for a number of equations



Homework:
***FOR EACH PROBLEM*** look at the examples in your TEXTBOOK for 8.3 (pgs 398-399)
 Write which example is similar to each problem on your homework.

pg 400: #10, #11, #16, #17, #19 (let x= canned food, y= dry food)

May 19, 2011

Thursday, May 19, 2011

Learning Targets for Thursday & Friday
In Class:
Notes 8.3 pages 151 & 152 in the Note Taking Book



Homework:
pg 400 problems:  3, 4, 6, 7, 13, 14

Students must look back at their notes and for each problem write which example it is similar to.
Students then need to complete the problem showing all steps and graphing where needed.

Wednesday, May 17, 2011

Learning Targets:

1) Look for patterns in tables & graphs to predict the "rule:" (equation y=mx+b)
2) Rewrite equations in function form and be able to graph the equation using appropriate #s for x.



In Class:

Students exchanged their "What's My Rule" project and looked for patterns to help predict the equation of the line.  Many students are seeing the patterns that help predict the rule!


*6th hour will do this activity tomorrow (Thursday, May 18, 2011)

We continued to review rewriting equations in function form:  y=mx+b.  Students that are still struggling with this concept should come in for help during lunch tomorrow.

Homework:

Worksheet 8.2 Practice B: 
problems:  #9, #10, #15, #16, #21, #22   
x/y tables MUST be shown where needed!

May 17, 2011

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

In Class:
Students continued to graph linear equations using an x/y table
Students made predictions about given linear equations (+/- slope, where the line crossed the y-axis)

Homework:


What's My Rule Project (this is a QUIZ grade)
pg 394 &395  #29, #31, #32
(you must show an x/y table for each!)

Chapter 8 Learning Targets

Hello Students!

Below are the  Learning Targets for Chapter 8.  There may be a few minor changes as we move through each section, so please keep that in mind. Before you start reading this long list, take a deep breath.... and remember that I will continue to do a "Learning Target" review before each assessment:)

Today we started Chapter 8-- Linear Functions

Learning Targets for
8.1 Relations & Functions

Given a table or set of ordered pairs students need to be able to:


1) Identify and correctly list the Domain & Range values.
2) Graph ordered pairs as a relation.
3) Use the Vertical Line Test to determine if a graphed relation is a function.

Students took notes pgs 145-147 in their Note-Taking Books
A video copy is available online (see right side of the blog)

Homework:
pg 388 problems: 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 19
