B Day
Periods 1 and 2, Accelerated Algebra 1, grade 9
Objective: Students will demonstrate skills in solving compound inequalities with absolute value notation in order to model real world situations. Following the warm up, students put all homework problems(from Practice 6-6) up on the white board, and all answers were corrected in incorrect. Students then took a brief quiz on Chapter 6-4 through 6-6.
Homework: Text p.704, #1-54 Multiples of 3 (#3,6,9,12,15...)
Next week: Graphing Inequalities and prepare for the Unit 4 TEST!!!
Work harder - get smarter!
Period 3, Math Studies IB Program, grade 11
Objective: Students will demonstrate skill in all topics of financial mathematics to score well on the Topic Test today. Following the Test, students read a new lesson in the Oxford text- the first section on Introductory Differential Calculus, pp.349-355, and started on Exercise 7.1 on pp. 355 and 356. Homework is to complete this work, and study the readings in this section.
This is our last unit before we begin our review of the course to prepare for the exams. They are the first week in May. After the exams, Mrs. Dennard will teach the remaining sections of Pre-calculus to prepare students for AP Calculus next year with Mr. Gross. THIS IS MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Try to take that tech credit in the summer if that is in your way of taking Mr. Gross's excellent course.
Remember - the way to learn and retain math procedures is to PRACTICE them, not simply read your notes. That would be like reading over your notes for a swim meet, or a violin concert. But like a swim meet or a concert, a math test is a PERFORMANCE. So, prepare to perform at your best!
