Homework:

STUDY FOR YOUR QUIZ TOMORROW!

May 15 & 16

Classwork:

1ST PERIOD -- Start Pizzazz D60 (finish on your own for more practice with dividing decimals); practice dividing decimals with Riddle Time (HO); practice all integer rules and multiplying fractions on notes with examples; Play Fly Swatter game to practice order of operations; Exit pass to check +/- fractions and order of operations

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- Looking for Pythagoras  -- Problem 2.3, 3.1 and 3.2 (demo); ACE #6,7,12 (p. 22) --> through this work we discovered the Pythagorean Theorem to be a squared + b squared = c squared

Homework:

1ST PERIOD -- none

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- Problem 3.3 (on quarter sized sheet)...find the length of AB, CD and EF (I suggest using the formula we developed today in class...or if you choose you can just draw the squares and take the square root)

May 14

Classwork:

1ST PERIOD -- collect project & work on Order of Operations Envelope Cart Sort activity (turn in for participation grade); start a review of dividing decimals

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- Begin new unit, Looking for Pythagoras with Problem 2.1 and 2.2

Homework:

1ST PERIOD -- none

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- Labsheet 2.3 (1st - draw 6 *diagonal* line segments within the six boxes provided on the Labsheet; 2nd -- find the length of each segment in square root terms, in other words DO NOT use a ruler to measure...hint - do like we did on the opposite side of the paper for Problem 2.2 and make the square, find its area and take the square root to find the line segment measurement.)

May 10 & 11

Classwork:

1ST PERIOD --Practice adding and subtracting fractions from textbook p. 192 #11-25 odds; do Order of Operations Card Sort activity; time to work on project

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- Check homework; finish ACE questions from Filling and Wrapping unit p. 51 #1, 3, 5; make foldable for geometry formulas

Homework:

1ST PERIOD -- Project is due Monday

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- none

IMPORTANT -- If You...

...DIDN'T TURN IN YOUR DIFFERENT VIEWS PROJECT TODAY, THEN...you need to make sure you do so asap.  And if you *are* turning it in late, it should look even better than before and be even more complete and refined, double check the accuracy of your calculations and make sure your diagrams look awesome, since you will have late points deducted off the top to begin with.

...DID NOT PASS YOUR PROBABILITY QUIZ, THEN...you need to come to tutorials at lunch on Thursday to go over it with me and make corrections.  Take a look at gradespeed now for your grade if you haven't already done so.

May 8 & 9

Classwork:

1ST PERIOD -- work on project

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- Turn in project; Explore the formulas of Volume of Cones (with a rice demonstration) and Volume of Spheres (using playdoh), then practice both with ACE questions from Filling and Wrapping unit

Homework:

1ST PERIOD -- Project is due Monday -- we will only have a little bit of time in class on Thursday to work on it (the rest is on your own)

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- Volume of Cones & Spheres Practice (HO)

No after school tutorials on Tuesday this week

Just let me know if you need to come this week for extra help on anything and we can make alternate arrangements (another day after school or during lunch or something).  Just talk to me during class, or email me, if you need to.  Thanks.

2ND - 6TH PERIOD -- if you have not completed to a point that lacks 45 minutes to complete (as this is how much additional class time you will get on Monday) then you will need to work on it over the weekend at home

For the Different Views Project (2nd - 6th period), try using the following online tool to create the three dimensional pictures for ONE OF YOUR SECTIONS.  Since I want you to create most of the drawings yourself, I am allowing the use of this tool for ONLY ONE OF THE SECTIONS.
