VanDrisse's Journey

Classwork:

• You turned in lesson 12 vocabulary contracts
• You took the lesson 12 vocabulary quiz
• We started the Integer Tournament……first round of competition is complete…..tomorrow we will resume play to see who the class winner is!

Homework: NONE (unless you would like to brush up on your integer rules :~)

Classwork:

• We reviewed the concepts that will be on your unit 8 test (domain, range, mappings, functions, relations, linear, non-linear, arithmetic sequences, and recursive)
• You completed 6 problems using the recursive formula
• You created a notecard (which I collected from you) with the arithmetic formula on one side and the recursive formula on the other…..I will give those back to you so you can use them on Monday’s test
• We went outside, and you either finished your assignment or studied for the unit 8 test/or vocabulary quiz

Homework:

• Unit 8 test on Monday
• Lesson 12 vocabulary quiz on Tuesday

Classwork: You worked on your vocabulary contracts for the entire class period today. You should have all (or at least most) of the contracts completed, but if you don’t be sure they’re done when you get to class on Monday. Also, be sure you had someone solve the crossword, wordsearch, or word scramble.

Homework:

• Lesson 12 vocabulary contract due Monday
• Lesson 12 vocabulary quiz on Monday

If anyone wants/needs extra credit here’s your opportunity…..using the vocabulary words from lesson 12, write a story (minimum of 3 paragraphs) using all of the vocabulary words. Circle or highlight the vocabulary words. The amount of extra credit you earn will based upon how well you use your vocabulary words, length of story, creativeness, etc. The extra credit will be due on the day of your vocabulary quiz.

Classwork:

• You worked on solving word problems using the arithmetic sequence formula
• You wrote the Recursive formula on your notes (and perhaps on your notecard) and we worked a few problems using the formula
• You didn’t have any homework tonight, but we will work a few more problems using the recursive formula tomorrow and we will review any concepts from this unit that you want/need review on before Monday’s unit 8 test

Homework:

• Unit 8 test – Monday, April 30
• Lesson 12 vocabulary quiz – Tuesday, May 1

Classwork:

Classwork:

• You received your lesson 12 vocabulary contracts….if you’ve misplaced yours already you can download one by clicking on the link
• Download vocabulary_contract_12.doc

Classwork:

• Homework (classwork from yesterday, but you could’ve finished is for homework last night) check
• We discussed how you can tell if a sequence is arithmetic (you have to have a common difference (represented using the letter "d") between each term…..so you have to add the same amount to each term to get the next consecutive term)
• We worked multiple examples together on the board, and you seemed pretty confident using the arithmetic formula.
• Remember, you can have one notecard to use on the test on Monday. On the notecard you can have the arithmetic formula written on one side (you’ll find out what goes on the other side tomorrow). I will be collecting your notecards on Friday, and I will give them back for you to use on your test on Monday.

Homework:

1. Given 6, 10, 14, & 18…..find the common difference and find the 25th term
2. Given 5, 10, 15, & 20…..find the common difference and find the 15th term
3. Unit 8 test – Monday, April 30
4. Lesson 12 vocabulary quiz – Tuesday, May 1

Classwork:

• We went over last night’s homework….I was very impressed with the number of people who had the problem solved correctly
• You worked on a logic problem in class (Five Boys & Five Dogs…..5th period this is your homework)
• Period 3/4 & 7/8 you worked on the "What Number Am I?"…..most of you finished in class, just be sure you have the answer tomorrow when I collect homework

Homework:

Period 3/4 & 7/8: Finish the "What Number Am I?" logic problem      Download what_number_am_i.doc 

Period 5: Finish the "Five boys & Five Dogs" logic problem     Download five_boys_and_five_dogs.doc
