Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry

Today in Pre-Algebra we stepped back to Lesson 27 going over volumes of pyramids and cones. I assigned Lesson 27 A, B, E, and F, due Thursday.

In Geometry, we spent the period going over trig functions. Students received a worksheet to complete as they left class. This is due Thursday. We will be testing next Monday.

In Algebra, we skipped Lesson 33 and began Lesson 34 on Circles and Ellipses. I assigned Lesson 34A, B, D, and E, due Thursday.

On Thursday, April 21st, Pre-Algebra jumped Lesson 27 and began working on Lesson 28. I assigned Lesson 28 B,C, and F. Students do not need to do 9-11 on F because it is on material in Lesson 27. We will get into lesson 27 next week.

In Geometry, we continued working with trig ratios. Students were assigned Lesson 30 A, B, and D. THey also need to do the proof from C. We will spend next week practicing the things we've learned in the last 3 lessons.

In Algebra, we began lesson 32 working with significant figures and Scientific notation. This is a great bridge to any student that is going to take Chemistry next year. I assigned lesson 32 A, B, and E.

All assignments are due Monday.

Have a Happy Easter!

On Thursday, April 14th, both Pre-Algebra and Geometry classes reviewed. In Pre-Algebra, we worked on multiplying binomials. I thought the students could benefit from more practice, so they received a worksheet to complete over the weekend. Geometry was intense with transformations. The book did not spend much time on this, so I thought it would be a good thing to go in depth about them. The students worked on transformations in class, then received two worksheets to complete by Monday. Students need to bring their graphing calculators next week. In Algebra, we worked on two lessons that are very similar. We are learning conversions. There is a specific process I like students to use-the book uses this as well. I assigned Lesson 29 A and E as well as Lesson 30 A and E to be completed by Monday.

Today I began all classes with a clear view of the remainder of the school year. We have 7 weeks of school left, many of which are shortened class periods due to state testing. In Algebra and Geometry, we went over the tests from before spring break before moving on. In Pre-Algebra, we reviewd a bit and then began working on multiplying polynomials. Todays homework is: Pre-Algebra: Lesson 25 A, B, E, F Algebra: Lesson 28 A, B, D, E (for those who have not completed it) as well as 28 C Geometry: Lesson 28 A, B, D, E (for those who have not completed it) as well as 28 C These assignments are due Thursday.
