B Day - Thursday

Periods 1 and 2

Accelerated Algebra 1
Objective: Students will use what they have learned about systems of equations to prepare a project to analyze costs and make decisions.
Following the warm up and a review of last night's homework, Mrs. Dennard distributed the Project "Let's Dance". This included graph paper, poster paper, colored pencils and markers. She guided students as they worked in pairs to solve the problems. All are due to be returned by tomorrow if not completed in class.
