B Day, 9/28/10

Periods 1 and 2 Honors Geometry Grade 9
Objective: Students will solve problems using the distance and midpoint formulas, and use midpoint formula to find an unknown endpoint, given one point and its midpoint. Following the warm up, Mrs. Dennard taught the lesson on finding the endpoint coordinates, and demonstrated several problems for studeents. Practice problems were assigned, and students worked in pairs on the practice. Mrs Dennard called each student to her desk to discuss their interim progress report. Students were praised for high scores, for making significant parogress, or for gett all assignments in on time. Others were counseled on what they needed to do tho improve their averdage score. This is by and large to get assignments done in a thoughful manner, and turned in on time. On time is important so that question may be asked and answered while we are still on that section.
Assignment: Text pp 42-49 # 18-29, 30,33,36,38,40,41,42,43,45.46, and the Checkpoint quiz on p 49 #1-6 and 9&10, (skip 7&8).


Period 3 Math Studies IB Grade 11
Objective: Students will conduct a peer review of the quiz taken at the last class in order to understand each question and it correct solution and to better anticipate the IB grading markscheme. Following the warm up, the peer review was conducted. this took most of the rest of our class period.
Assignment: Oxford.Ex. 3.2 1 - 5.

A Day 9/28/10

Period 1 Geometry grades 10-12
Objective: Students will demonstrate mastery of Lessons 1-1 on inductive reasoning though lesson 1-4 on measuring line segments and angles. Following the warm up, Mrs.Dennard instructed students to complete a brief practice session before taking the quiz. Mrs.Dennard took questions from the class about the practice, and the quiz was distributed. Students used the remainder of the class for the quiz.
Classwork Text p. 6909, #17-22.
Homework - back of Warm up #6 Practice 1-6.

Period 3 Math Studies IB
Objective: Students will demonstrate mastery of descriptive statistics measures and inrtoductory set theory in a quiz. Following the warm up. Mrs.Dennard answered questions on the homework, and then students started on the quiz. This took the remainder of the class period.
No homework assigned for tonite.

Period 4 Honors Geometry grade 9
Objective: Students will solve problems of distance between 2 points, and finding the midpoint of a segnment in order to find the distance between 2 points on a map.
Following the warm up, Mrs.Dennard taught students the distance and midpoint formulas, and how to find an endpoint. Practice problems were assigned. WQhile students worked in pairs on the practice, Mrs.Dennard called each student to her desk to receive their interim progress report score. Each students was parised fo making progress so far, told to keep up the good work, or counseled on what they needed to do to improve their average. In most of these cases, getting assignments done and turned in on time was the most consistent advice.
Classwsork: Text pp.43-47,#1-29, then #30,33,36,38,40,41,41,43,45,46, and Checkpoint quiz p.49,#1-6 and 9&10 (skip 7&8).
