November 1-2
Thursday and Friday we will be working on literal equations. How do you solve for r in d=r*t?
Let's start by watching a video on what a literal equation is! http://www.virtualnerd.com/algebra-1/linear-equations-solve/isolate-variables-formulas-examples/isolate-variable/literal-equation-definition
** If you need additional practice, check out this powerpoint: Literal Equations powerpoint #2.ppt

November 5-9
Monday: Connect Four activity to review literal equations
Tuesday: Start Coordinate grid notes, plotting points,
HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL PRACTICE SITES AND LESSONS if you need additional help:
a. coordinate plane review.notebook
b. http://rboulter.edu.glogster.com/coordinate-plane
(do not go to multiplication link)
c. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/GeneralCoordinates/
Homework is either graphing Superman Logo, Bart Simpson, or create your own picture by using AT LEAST 30 order pairs.
Wednesday: literal equation quiz (very short--2 or 3 questions); Start graphing by using a T-Chart
Thursday-Friday: Continue graphing using a T-Chart

November 12-15 (no school Friday)
Monday Veterans Day Assembly starting at 9:00. Most likely, will fun through most of period 3 (our class).
Tuesday: All students will be asked to use a table of values to graph either:
y = -2x + 4 or 3y + 6x = 12
using sticky notes. Graphed equations will be placed on the back board and sorted. Discussion as to what we notice and what we wonder about will take place.
Today our learning target is to understand the concept of graphing using X and Y intercepts.
Students will walk themselves through this activity/assignment to help them understand the concept of graphing using x and y intercepts
HOMEWORK: Watch this video on how to graph a line using x and y intercepts: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/linear-
2. Complete these notes/practice work for tomorrow: Linear graph intercepts worksheet.
Wednesday: # talk
Quick review of x & y intercepts.
-Start graphing horizontal and vertical lines.
Introduce Piet Mondrian Activity, due Tuesday, Nov. 27
Go ahead and Google "Piet Mondrian" to get some ideas of who he is and his art work.
Thursday: Vocab assignment due; workday on Piet Mondrian Activity

November 19-20
Monday: Today our learning target is to gain an understanding of slope!
Let's begin by doing a little measuring activity: Investigating Stairs.docx
To help us understand this better.....let's look at the following notes: Slope lesson; worksheet due next Monday
Take some time to look at this slope app: http://www.mathwarehouse.com/algebra/linear_equation/interactive-slope.php
Tuesday: Check for understanding!
Complete notes from Monday.
Homework: worksheet due next Monday

November 26-30
Monday: Review/complete slope notes and this site.
We can find slope in 3 different ways (complete only from graph, table and formula): Start the slope foldable;
Number Talk!
Tuesday: Slope activity around the room (students will be given a random graph and they are to calculate slope (rise/run) and stand at the sign in the room that indicates their slope).
Students will get out a white board and practice on any of these sites for additional practice on graphing using x and y intercepts:

https://www.quia.com/rr/49074.html
After 15 minutes, we will look at some real world examples of graphs and discuss the meaning of their x and y intercepts.

Wednesday:
Review of domain and Range (discussion) What do you think this is saying? 4 < x < 10 Homework: Students are asked to create a face using students.desmos.com (I will provide the class code): Des-face Using Domain and Range. Print your final page for me (use print preview to make sure you are actually printing the face). https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/55f0d6cd70613f783a2d132a If you complete the above vertical and horizontal drawing, then begin playing with this site to see about slope: http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/SlopeSlider/ Quiz tomorrow!! Review Answer Key is found here!!! Thursday: Quiz on literal equations, plotting points, graphing using a table of values, x & y intercepts, and equations of vertical and horizontal lines. After the quiz: 1. Go to Desmos.com Type in y=mx+b as an equation. click on add slider all (for both m and b). 2. Move the slider for m. What do you notice happens? What have we called the "m" variable in this unit? Do you think it means the same thing in Desmos? How can you prove it? 3. Click on the slider for b. What do you notice happens? Can you find where on the graph the b is located? 4. Watch this video on today's lesson! Friday: Graph in slope intercept given M and B. Practice work due Monday, Dec. 3 |
