We also started a brief two-day unit on Ratio and Proportion and you'll see posts (pictures) below of the notes we took.
Tonight's homework is in a packet -- three pages... but it should go REALLY fast. :)

Pop Quiz and Ratio & Proportion!
Today started with a pop quiz! (On lines and such -- if you check yesterday's posts, you'll see the lines skills that kids need to be able to do.)

Transformation!
Today was about transforming equations, specifically about turning standard form linear functions to y=mx+b.
They'll want to fix the problems they missed last Thursday... for homework.

Where has Matthew gone?
I was going through the pictures that I had taken last week making sure all of them made it to their specific blogs, and low and behold I realize I haven't blogged for Pre-Al 4th period all week! You must feel neglected!
What a week it was. We're still doing our thing with lines and your children are doing beautifully. In fact, I think I'll be able to squeeze in a mini-unit on ratio & proportion before the end of the year! Whoohoo!
I promise to be better this week. :)

Slope!
Today we got more acquainted with slope--and the kids socks were knocked off! They have/had 6 problems to graph for homework.

Upcoming Exam Days
Heads up posting--
All of my morning math classes take an end-of-year, cumulative final
exams. I wanted to go ahead and let you know those dates: May 13 &
14. Believe it or not, it really does take two days to complete the
exam. :)
And of course, the week prior to those days will be spent in review.
The kids will find this out this coming week.
Have a great weekend!
Step by Step
We have been steadily walking through the land of linear functions, step by step.
Today we talked mainly about y-intercepts and x-intercepts and how once we know those two things we can then graph the line in question. I would have hoped to have introduced slope today, but no worries, it's on the agenda for Monday.
Someone mentioned in class today that there are something like 15 or 16 days left of normal classes. Sheesh! How time flies!

What a day!
What a day!
Today I shared with the kids some of the things I learned yesterday at my professional development day in Raleigh. Be on the lookout for more information about that soon in another post. :)
We worked the packet that I left for the kids to work on yesterday. It was quite challenging--it was actually the same thing i left for my Jacobs kids to do. So, with that being said, we started working our way through it today, and wherever the kids are with it is just that--wherever they are with it. No homework tonight, we'll pick it back up tomorrow. :)

No HW!
Today we started looking at a section of the Jacobs text that the kids will see next year on functions and lines. They just got a chance to start and should NOT do anything for homework tonight!

Chart it up! Workday
Today instead of just checking our x-y charts like normal, we graphed them to check our answers! This is still new and fresh for them so it turned into our warm-up as well.
On that note, today was a workday... tons more x-y charts and a handful of charts that they had to graph.
We're into our final unit full-on! LINES. :)
They will need to finish what they didn't finish in class for homework.

Surfing the Coordinate Plane
Today we checked homework and had a workday--on a Cartesian Cartoon! The title of the graph is This Puzzle is Alarming and they will need to finish this for homework. :)

Graphing!
We are in full-swing of our next unit--graphing and then graphing equations (lines). Today we took a pop quiz on the coordinate plane (see below) and then we checked our homework. We wrapped up with plotting some good ol' fashioned points. Some folks may need to finish this tonight for homework.
Onward!
