B Day

Periods 1 and 2 Accelerated Algebra 1, grade 9

Objective: Students will learn to write numbers in scientific notation and standard notation in order to list the planets based on their masses. Following the warm up. students were assigned a practice review of the previous lesson on negative and zero exponents. Mrs. Dennard retaught that lesson,students were assigned additional practice, and each worked out a problem on the board. Sudents retook a brief quiz on that topic, and then started on the new lesson on scientific notation. We ran out of time before we could get very far with scientific notation, so we will renew this lesson when we meet again on Friday.
