A Day 1/12/11
Today there was 2 hour delay to the start of the day, so period 1 and 4 were shorter by about 40 minutes each.
Periods 1A Geometry grades 10-12 and 4A Geometry grade 9
Objective: Students will review lesson 3-4, 3-5 and 3-6 in order to prepare for the upcoming quiz and the Chp.3 TEST next week. Following the warm up, Mrs. dennard took questions about the homework, and reviewed the topic in the last 3 lessons with students. Students received the Test Review pack for the Chapter 3 test next week.
Homework: Complete the Test review pack, and prepare for the quiz next class.
Period 3 Math Studies, IB grade 11
Objective: Students will find the general term of a sequence, solve problems using arithmetic sequence of a series in order to solve real-world problems.Mrs. Dennard did not review homework or go over the warm up questions today in order to interview each student on their progress in preparation of the internal assessment statistics research paper. Many students had not read about the topic they selected. This is a serious problem because you cannot write (well) about that which you do not understand. In so far as Mrs. Dennard was able to simply download several appropriate articles easily, she hopes students will be able to get the articles/books they need and catch up as soon as possible on their topics. Please have substantive outlines ready to turn in on Monday. Please type these!
Homework: Oxford text pp. 84-92, Exercise 2.5 #1-10.
FAIR WARNING: expect to have a homework quiz at any time!

B Day 1/12/11
Periods 1B and 2 B Honors Geometry grade 9
Objective: Students will relate slope and parallel lines and slope and perpendicular lines in order to write equations. Following the warm up, Mrs. Dennard went over the lesson, and assigned the practice. Students had received 2 assignments last week when Mrs. Dennard was out sick, so these were turned in today. Students had a choice of doing the chapter review, or the chapter test at the end of the chapter. Finishing either or both of those, students were allowed to start on their homework.
Homework: Back of the warm up #2-10; worksheet on Lesson 3-6. Use a separate sheet of paper and show all work!
Quiz next class 3-4 to 3-6. Students will recieve a study guide for the Unit 3 test.

A Day - 2/10/11
I was out of school for 4 days last week due to a nasty virus that has been making the rounds here lately. I'm good enough as they say - so here we go....
Periods 1A grade 10-12 and 4A Geometry grade 9
Objective: Students will use slope formula and parallel lines, and also relate the use of slope for perpendicular lines in order to write an equation that models part of a leaded glass window. Mrs. Dennard discussed the slope formula and its use in identifying parallel and perpendicular lines, and did a quick check on how many students had completed the assignment while the substitute was here. There were several students who still had work to do on this assignment, so they were given time to prceed with this. Those students who had completed the 3-6 assignment were instructed to go to the chapter review problems, and the chapter test. All these practice problems rae dyue next class - on 1/13/10.
Thewre will be a brief quiz on 3-5 and 3-6 next class. Students will receive the nit 3 test review which will be due on Friday. The Unit 3 Test is on Wednesday, 1/19/11.
Period 3 Math Studies IB grade 11
Objective:
Students will convert SI units in the 7 types of SI units in order to become adept at using these calculation in word problems. Students were directed to the assignment given last Friday, and Mrs. Dennard took questions on this. Ther was discussion of the number of feet in a mile versus the number of feet in a meter, and what was the measurement in SI that is closest to our mile? In so far as all questions were cleared up, students are expected to complete the assignment for tomorrow. Text Oxford, pp. 87-82.
There will a brief quiz on this materiel on Wednesday.

B Day 1/3/11
Periods 1B and 2B Honors Geometry, grade 9
Objective: Students will relate slope and parallel lines, and relate slope and perpendicular lines in order to solve problems in the real world. Following the warm up, Mrs. Dennard went over the last lesson done before the break to refresh all students memories. Practice problems were assigned, and then students took a brief quiz on this lesson.(3-5)Both 3-5 and 3-6 are reviews of Algebra concepts. When the quiz was finished, Mrs. Dennard directed students to pp.158-164 and assigned the Check for Understanding problems as class work, and #1-24 on pp 161-162 for homework.
Unit 3 TEST will be next Thursday!(next week)
Period 3 Math Studies IB grade 11
Objective: Students will use significant figures; p[ercentage errors; and scientific notation in order to solve real-world problems. Following the warm up, Mrs. Dennard reviewed several topics brought in by this class regarding their topics for the internal assessment (IA) statistics research paper. I was dissapointed to learn that students had done little, if any, reading about the topic they planned to do a project on! I have now required that students bring in at least 3 sources for the topics they plan to collect data about on Friday, January 7.
Students were assigned practice problems in the Oxford text,pp. 65-72, Secvtions 2.2 and 2.3. Please complete these exercises for homework if not already completed in class. And- find some articles to read on your topic!
