Today we checked our “Average Rate of Change” graphs and homework and learned about writing Sequences as Functions. We made flash cards with both the recursive and closed formulas for arithmetic sequences and our homework is an Arithmetic Sequences WS odds only. 10 arithmetic sequence wsHave an awesome Labor Day Weekend! 
Today we took a quiz over transformations of functions other than the parent functions. We also checked our Even/Odd Function homework and learned a new topics…Average Rate of Change using both graphs and algebra. Your homework is in your textbook page 183 #1-7 and a Graphs WS. It looks like our final Unit 1 test will be next Friday =) Yahoo…bring it on!
Even and Odd Functions today..homework is the white even/odd packet problems #1-9 and the blue notes problems #1-10 Here is the ppt from today! =)8 Even odd notes Remember to get your textbook contracts signed!
Quiz today over Transformations of the Parent Functions! Review on blue dry erase mats and then we began exploring Even and Odd Functions…you were to finish through part 2 of the Even & Odd Functions Task for tomorrow =)8 Even and Odd Functions Lots of explanations and examples tomorrow…be prepared! Have a great afternoon!
Happy Monday 
! Today we reviewed all transformations using dry erase mats and worked on a HUGE transformation matching activity. We checked our “Stretches and Shrinks” Task in class and began our “ZIG ZAG” Function task, which is to take f(x), which looks like a “zig zag”, and transform it using our properties and patterns. 7 Zig Zag function practice Your homework was to complete the task and to study for a little quiz tomorrow over Transformations! =)
There’s a Burglar in the house! so to speak…private joke among us to remember the rules of transformations! Today you discovered when the parent graphs shift horizontally and vertically and worked on lots of practice problems. Homework was a Graphing WS…you may get this from me when you return. It was a fun day with colored pencils and watching the transformation process!
Sneek-a-Peek Review game today! Your homework is to study all notes, examples, warmups, assignments, tasks, and quizzed for your first test tomorrow You are sooo ready for this test..time to show off !!
Today we reviewed for our first test…it will be on Wednesday. We also worked in groups on Joan’s Babysitting Task, an excellent problem analysis to study for your test! Your homework was a Test Review sheet . Happy Monday, Mavericks!
Happy Friday, 8th graders! Today we took a quiz over Analyzing Graphs and worked on Parts II and III of our “Analyzing Graphs Packet”. Have an awesome weekend…and be prepared for our first test next Friday Thanks for working so hard this week!
We are in the middle of analyzing functions graphically and algebraically…you should have LOTS of examples on handouts and in your notes from class as well as warm ups. Today we checked the problems from yesterday…we worked on a Ws in class that you had to check with me before you could begin your assignment. Remember it is completely fine to make mistakes, as long as you CORRECT THEM and LEARN FROM THEM! Our homework was another analyzing graphs WS: graphs A-F only. You do NOT have to complete the other parts of the packet…we will do those together in class. Have a great evening and remember we will take a little quiz tomorrow over Analyzing Graphs =) See ya Friday!
