Homework: Factoring Quadratic Expressions: PRACTICE
Detailed instructions available online http://www.purplemath.com/modules/factquad.htm this link can be shared with students

In class Polynomials INTRO
__To find the sum and/or difference of 2 polynomials:__ combine like terms (terms are like if the exponent and variable are the same.) ex: 3b squared plus 2b squared= 5b squared. The square does not change when adding or subtracting, only the number before the variable will change. __To find the product of 2 polynomials (multiplying):__ 4a(2a+6) distribute the 4a 4a times 2a= 8a squared 4a times 6 = 24a answer: 8a squared + 24a. a squared and a can not be added together. This is the final answer.

3/28: Mr. Kenny is giving the class an easy project that he basically did most of in class on
the board with them. Then gave them very similar homework. If they do everything, and the homework is almost done, they receive 61 points on their grades. This is a big boost that could put some of the class into the passing bracket. WHAT?!?!?

2/25 IN CLASS: Introduction to Systems of Equations by Elimination.
Use this link for complete how-to instructions. This link can be shared with students http://www.purplemath.com/modules/systlin5.htm
 * Homework: Systems of Equations by Elimination- Practice**

Homework: **Finish the sheets we did in class if they were not done. Try to have Stained Glass 1st draft**

 * poster finished and turned in by Thursday. Major grade. Test on Thursday.**

2/7 Homework: Systems of Equations by substitution- PRACTICE all
How to: If he two equations are in y=mx+b format: ex: y=5x-7 and y=x+1 since both equal y they also both equal each other.

5x-7=x+1 use previous skills to solve for x __-x -x__ get all the x's on one side 4x-7=1 __+7 +7__ add 7 to both sides to get rid of the -7 __4__x=__8__ divide both sides by 4 4 4 x=2

use the x=2 in one of the original 2 equations to find y. y=x+1 y=2+1 y=3

(2,3) write final answer in ordered pair format (x,y)

2/5: We started the stain glass graphing project today. Mr. Kenny explained it and they had time to start.
It is due Friday, Feb 15. Mr. Kenny suggested they work on it and turn it in early.

Using a graphing calculator to find intersect:
turn on calculator press Clear twice press the Y= button (top left) clear any equations (if needed) type in each equation. The negative sign is beside Enter...do not use the minus for negative. once both are entered press Graph button press 2nd button then Trace button scroll down to #5: intersect. Press Enter (bottom left of graph will now say "First Curve?) Hit enter 3 more times through "Second Curve?" and "Guess?" Until it says "Intersection" Record The X and Y as an ordered pair. (x,y) clear twice to begin again.

Jan 31: No homework due to quiz tomorrow. We started this semester with everyone at 100%.
Then we start factoring in their homework and quiz grades.

1/30 Homework: Systems by Graphing Intro 2
how to: Solve each line equation into y=mx+b format. Watch when dividing by negative numbers. -4 / -2 is POSITIVE 2 Graph each line once solved. a negative slope will go DOWN from the right side of the graph, positive will go UP from the right. ex: -1/4 slope (go down 1 and to the right 4) OR (go up 1 and backwards 4)

Dec 17: Homework sheets are solving for slope by getting the slope/intercept on the opposite side of "y".
Will have a fun Christmas quiz that doesn't count on Friday. Quiz coming up probably Thursday on slope intercept.

12/12 Quiz Tomorrow: Slope Intercept Form
Homework: Online Book Page 312 # 7-30

11/15- Introduction to F(x); Function of X; Patterns.
This is a lot like in and out boxes from everyday math. You put in a number, do an equation and get the answer. Students will have to figure out the equation and continue to fill in the chart. Examples attached as scan file.

This week:
Wednesday 11/14 **Quiz** covering percent change Thursday 11/15 **Test review** in class Friday 11/16 **Test** covering graphing inequalities; percent proportions and percent change

11/8 Percent Proportion Quiz- No homework.

11/7 Percent Proportions: **%** over 100 equals **is** over **of**. Fill in the proportion equation given the information in each equation. Cross multiply and solve for x. ex: 97 is 59% of what. key information: 97 IS ; 59% __59__ = __x__ 100 97 cross multiply! 59*97 and 100*x __5723__=__100x__ 100 100 x= 57.23

HINT: Circle the key information in each equation then write the proportion.

10/2 Multi-Step Equations Quiz

10/1 Multi-Step Equations CL/HW 1-6 and 15-22, complete for homework QUIZ TOMORROW 10/2

9/26 Multi-Step Equations practice, do all for homework. Graded for right/wrong - BIG POINTS!

steps to solve: get rid of parenthesis by distributing move all variables to one side by adding or subtracting (move the smaller variable) move all whole number (non variables) to the opposite side by adding or subtracting if there is a number multiplying the variable divide both sides by that number to get rid of it if there is a number dividing the variable multiply both sides by that number to get rid of it

IF: the final answer is a number = itself (ex: -4=-4) the answer is "All Solutions" IF: the final answer is a number = any other number (ex: -5=12) the answer is "No Solution"

9/20 TWO STEP EQUATION QUIZ TOMORROW

Homework: Two Step Equations CL/HW- points given for right answers only (25 points!!!) New: __x+4__ = 5 x+4 divided by 2 equals 5, the entire top is being divided by 2, so multiply both sides by 2 the 2's will cancel out 2 x+4= 10 subtract 4 from both sides x=6

__3x+1__ = 1 mutiply both sides by 13, the 13's cancel out, 1 x 13= 13 13 3x+1 = 13 subtract 1 from both sides

Two step example review: 9(-4+a)=-63 get rid of the parenthesis- distribute first -36+9a=-63 get rid of the -36 by adding 36 to both sides +36 +36 __9a__=__-27__ get rid of the times 9: divide both sides by 9 9 9 the 9's cancel on the left, -27/9= -3 watch the negatives

8(x+4)=72 get rid of the parenthesis by distruibuting the 8 (8 times x and then 8 times 4) 8x+32=72 get rid of the +32 by subtracting 32 -32 -32

__8x__ = __40__ get rid of the times 8: divide both sides by 8 8 8

x= 4

9/19 Homework: Two Step Equations INTRO (skip questions: 8,10,11,12,19,21 and 25 In class One Step Equations quiz and quiz corrections.

QUIZ THURSDAY- ONE STEP EQUATIONS 9/17/12 HOMEWORK One-Step Equations practice - ALL QUESTIONS

Introduction to One-Step equations, Intro worksheet in class. Goal: to get the variable (letter) by itself on one side of the equation. (sometimes called "solve for x")

x+6=11 (since the 6 is added to the x the opposite is subtracting) -6 -6 (subtract 6 from BOTH SIDES) x= 5 (6-6=0 on one side and 11-6=5 on the other)

r-(-3)=8 (subtracting a negative is the same as just adding, change the signs) r+3=8 (the opposite of +3 is -3 so subtract 3 from BOTH SIDES) -3 -3 r=5

5-x=10 (there is a minus on the x side, but it is not part of the number 5, that will be dealt with later) -5 -5 (the 5 is a positive number so to get rid of it you will subtract 5 from BOTH SIDES) -x=5 (if -x= 5, then x must equal -5, some people think of this as dividing both sides by -1, others just flip the signs.) x=-5

9/11/12 D3 Reviewed Order of operations and distributive property. Quiz given in class. No homework.
