Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! Most of my students who worked hard in class completed their homework. However, it was page 325 (4-22 even) and 32, 34, &36!
Have a safe, yet fun Halloween!

Friday 10/27/11

We will be taking an Algebra chapter 5 test and a science chapter 15 test. Make sure all your work is completed for both classes. You will staple the homework to the warm-ups and attach all those to the homework log, math side up. You will also turn in your study guide (completed and with full sentences) in on Friday. This is the end of our 2nd week of 2nd quarter so make every grade count.

Thank you for a wonderful week!

Red Ribbon Wednesday

Wednesday is sports day...wear a jersey! Also, write "Mathlete" on a card with your name and get 5 points extra credit.

Just checking!

Tomorrow is hat day for Red Ribbon Week! Wear one and give me a note that says "Hats off to Algebra!" and you will get 5 points extra credit.

Get another classmate to sign up as a follower of the website and when they tell me you referred them...5 more points!

Good luck.

Does a point lie on the line?

Lesson 5.3 Graphing with T-Chart

Beginning 2nd Quarter!!!

As of Monday, we will be beginning 2nd quarter.  We are starting chapter 5 which is graphing linear functions and equations.  This is where students must really focus and realize that this is no longer material they have seen before.  As a result, they must pay attention, attend school everyday, take good notes, and complete all homework assignments on time.  Moreover, they must study for every quiz and every test. 

I will check homework everyday and students who do not complete their work will be held in for lunch detention.  Also, I will be available every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday during lunch for tutoring.  Soon, Cougar College will begin and there will be tutoring after school every Monday and Thursday until 4. 
The first assignment, Coordinate Plane Dot-to-Dot is due Tuesday and worth 21 points.  Make sure you turn this in on time and start off the quarter strong.

Benchmark "League Championship" Vocabulary Practice

There is academic (on the field) vocabulary that we have covered in class and that will be used on our 1st Benchmark Assessment as well as the CST (the championship) in the spring.  In order to practice the vocabulary, you can go to the following link and use the flash cards, take quizzes (scrimmages) to practice, and play games to see if you know the terms.  Good luck and click HERE!  Just in case it does not work...it should...but look up BM1 Academic Vocabulary on the Quizlet website.
