Pre-Algebra

Today we went over Lesson 20 C and F. We began both Lessons 21 and 22. i assigned Lesson 21 A, B, E, and f, as well as 22 A, B, E, and F. There is no class on Thursday, so this counts for Thursday's assignment as well. It is due Monday. On Monday, there are several students taking a field trip to Olympia. We will have regular class as scheduled. For those going on the field trip, you are responsible for using the DVD/instruction manual to learn the new material and complete Monday's assignment.

Algebra

Today we went over questions from Lesson 21. We then began working on Lesson 22 and 23. Students expanded their learning of factoring trinomials to those with coefficients and negative numbers. I assigned Lesson 22 A, B, and E, and Lesson 23 A, B, D, and E to be completed by Monday. There is no school on Thursay, and there is a field trip to Olympia on Monday. We will have class as usual on Monday. Those going on the field trip will be responsible for checking the blog and using their DVD/instruction manual to learn the material.

Geometry

Today we did Lesson 22A and B in class. We began Lesson 23. I assigned Lesson 23 A, B, C, D, E, and H to be completed by Monday. There is no class Thursday. Several students are taking a field trip on Monday. We will have a regular schedule of classes. Those going on the field trip will be responsible for checking the blog for Monday's assignment and using the DVD/Instruction manual to learn the material.

Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry

Forgive me for my late post. On Thursday, the 17th of February, all math classes took a test.
I then assigned the following to be done at home:

Pre-Algebra: Lesson 20A, 20B, and 20D

Algebra: Lesson 20A, 20B, 20D, and 20E

Geometry: Lesson 20A, 20B, 20D, 20E

I discussed with the students that due to our second semester schedule, they should be prepared to do a lot of the work at home. They should use the course DVD and instruction manual as resources for information.

Geometry and Algebra

On Monday, February 14th, we reviewed for the test on Thursday in both Algebra and Geometry. The tests will both be over material through lesson 19, focusing on lessons 14-19. In both classes, i assigned tests 14-19 in the test booklet, only the even problems.

Pre-Algebra

On Monday, February 14th, we reviewed for our test on Thursday. The test will be through lesson 19. I assigned from the test booklet tests 15-19, only the odd problems.

Algebra

On Thursday, February 10th, we once again started class of with an entry task. Students did the first few problems from Lesson 18H. After going over these as a class, I answered questions from Lesson 19. Students seem to be doing very well on the material lately. We will be testing next Thursday. I assigned Lesson 19A, B, and E to be completed by Monday.

Geometry

On Thursday, February 10 we started class with some problems from Lesson 19H. Students did alright on this with a little "push!" There weren't very many questions on Lesson 18, so we moved on to Lesson 19. This was another lesson over radicals, except now we're simplifying them from the denominator! I assigned Lesson 19 A, B, and E.

Pre-Algebra

On Thursday, February 10th, we continued working on Lesson 19. Class started off with a difficult entry task from 19H. Students tried, and then we discussed it as a class. I assigned Lesson 19 C, E, and F to be completed by Monday.

Algebra

On Monday, the 7th of February, I began class by answering questions from the homework. Many of the questions came from the honors lesson I assigned last Thursday. Once we got through that, we moved on to Lesson 18. Lesson 18 is over multiplying and dividing exponents. Once students get the hang of this, they will have a complete understanding of it.

Geometry

On Monday, the 7th of February, I began class by giving students the honors page from lesson 17. After the initial "I can't do this" phase, students had little trouble with it. It was mostly review from the last few lessons involving volume. Once we corrected that, I answered any questions from the previous assignment. We then began Lesson 18. Lesson 18 is over Pythagorean Theorem which is review for most, so we will move through this very quickly. I assigned Lessons 18A, B, D, and E to be completed by Thursday.

Pre-Algebra

On Monday, the 7th of February, we began class by celebrating the Packers Super Bowl Victory! Once I bragged about that, we began work on the honors page from Lesson 18. Students did pretty good with this challenge. There weren't many questions over the homework, so we soon got started on Lesson 19. I assigned Lesson 19A, B, and D to be finished by Thursday.

Algebra

Students are doing very well with consecutive integers in Lesson 17. I answered a few questions today on Monday's assignment, and we briefly reviewed graphing inequalities (17C). We continued work on Lesson 17 as I assigned parts D, E, and H to be completed by Monday.

Geometry

Today we continued working on Lesson 17. After going over questions from Monday's assignment, I extended on the material. Students were given a number of problems to solve involving the simplification of radicals. None of this was from the book, however, I believe will be very beneficial to them. I then assigned the next two parts of Lesson 17, D and E. This is due Monday.

Pre-Algebra

Today we reviewed Moday's assignment and went over questions on the material. We continued work on Lesson 18, and I assigned Lesson 18 C, E, and F. This will be due on Monday.
