B Day, 5/6/11


Periods B1 and B2, Honors Geometry, grade 9
Objective: Students will review and practice solving inequalities in order to prepare for solving for inequalities in triangles. Following the waarm up, Mrs.Dennard assigned the review and practice assignment. As students worked, Mrs.Dennard called each student to her desk to discuss the interim progress report score. The quiz taken this week was returned to students. Students choosing to do an Error Analysis to improve their score must follow all procedures to get credit! That is - explain the error in sentences, Solve it correctly, mathematically. And EXPLAIN how you solved correctly, using sentences. Missing any part of the EA means NO CREDIT!
