Thompson’s Timely Tidbits

Well we made it to Friday! This week seemed to go by very fast and in a blur. This weekend I’m going to be working hard to get the pinnacle updated. I will finish getting all of the test graded so you can look at those on Monday. I did get a chance to look at the pre-test you guys took over M7G2. You guys did a great job of keeping me laughing at your funny answers. Actually I learned a lot about your prior knowledge of Transformations. Thanks for the humor.

For this weekend: You need to finish up your Coordinate Translations activity. 3rd period: please do your homework. We don’t want a repeat of today. The rest of the classes did a great job.

See you Monday! Stay dry this weekend.

Good morning everyone. I forgot to post to the blog yesterday before I left, so I thought I would do it now – just for the record. To be honest, it didn’t seem as though we got a lot done yesterday. We did however, go over the two-step review homework from Tuesday (pg. 750) and we took a pre-test over our next unit M7G2. We also spent some time talking about what the Unit is going to be about (Transformations) and what students will need to be able to do by the end of it.

Our new Unit is all about the Transformations of 2D figures on a coordinate plane. We will talk about translations (slides), reflections (flips), rotations (turns) and dilations (changing the size, but not the shape).

So – No homework on Wednesday night! Thursday we will start right in on translations and you should have a little work to practice this skill at home.

Moving right along… We are officially finished with our direct and indirect unit now. Our second part of the Unit test was taken today and I’ll get part A & B averaged together and in pinnacle as soon as I can.

Your homework this evening is a review of solving equations: Textbook pg. 750 (1 – 18)

Tomorrow we will start our new Unit on Transformations. We will learn how to rotate, translate, reflect and dilate 2D figures on the coordinate plane. It shall be a lot of fun. See you then!!!!

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today you recieved a study guide for our test next week. Due to conference week schedule, we will be splitting up our unit test into two parts. Part A will be on Monday and Part B will be on Tuesday.

Use the study guide you were given today in class to help you get ready. You need to have it completed by tomorrow so we can go over it in class and answer any last minute questions you have.

Hey guys,

We are nearing the end of our study of variation. Our test will be this Friday! Everything I have been reminding you on a daily basis is what will be on the test. There will be questions on their very similar to those on your Combined practice sheet. I will go over the types of problems that will be on the test again tomorrow if you are still unsure.

3rd, 6th & 7th periods: Your homework is to complete pg. 315 (1-5) in the textbook and do # 1 – 17 on your combined practice sheet. We will do the rest in class tomorrow.

5th period: You learned a little about slope today. Your assignment is to complet pg. 280 – 282 (1 – 30) in the textbook.

Today was all about varying inversely.

3rd period: You need to finish Name that Graph tonight.
5th period: You need to complete 13-7 Practice C.
6th & 7th period: You need to finish Name that Graph and Making sence of graphs.

We will practice inverse variations more tomorrow so don’t panic

3rd, 6th & 7th periods: Your homework tonight is to complete 1 – 6, 7, 9 & 11 on “Name that Graph.” We will work on 8, 10 & 12 tomorrow in class.

5th period: Your homework is to finish “Decorating for the Dance.”

3rd period: Today we spent some time in the Green book practicing Direct Variation. You should have read pg. 650 – 652 and completed pg. 653 (8, 10, 12, 14) This needs to be turned in ASAP if you didn’t already do so. Your homework is: Making Sence of Graphs.

5th period: Today we started learning about Indirect Variation. You learned what the graph looks like as well as the table and equation. Your homework is to complete: Name that Graph. You may skip 8, 10 & 12 for now. We will work on these tomorrow.

6th & 7th periods: Well we have a lot of catching up to do. Today we read pg. 650 – 652 in the Green book, completed pg. 653 ( 8, 10 , 12 & 14) and read pg. 714 – 715 in the Green book. Your homework is to complete 12-5 Practice A & B.

All classes: Remember that you can access the Green textbook by logging onto the online textbook. Ch. 12 section 5 is over Direct Variation and Ch. 13 section 7 is over Indirect Variation. Use this to help you as needed.

3rd period: Today we learned about Direct Variation. You were given a handout to help you take notes from the powerpoint. Your homework is to complete 12-5 Practice A.

5th period: We continued working on Direct Variation. We reviewed last night’s homework and worked on 12-5 Challenge during class. Your homework is to complete 12-5 Practice C.

6th & 7th Periods: It seems as though too many of you guys completed last night’s homework incorrectly. We spent some time reviewing how to graph a linear equation. We then practiced some more of them by completing pg. 250 (4 – 8). Most of you finished these in class and turned them in. If you did not, you need to finish them tonight. There is no homework other than that. I will catch you guys back up with 3rd period when you return.
