AF+-+Math+100

Tuesday June 9th
So we are officially done the Geometry Unit! As evaluation I am taking in two booklets covering Pythagorean Theorum and the Trig Functions. They were to be handed in Monday. We are doing a short unit on Sequences and Series this week. The students have handouts that have the info on it, and as we go through examples, they are to write them down and ask any questions. Then of course they are assigned questions that help them practice their new skill. There will be a Unit Test on Monday, and then we will be going over practice problems for the Final exam. On Thursday the 18th there will be a practice Final Exam. If the student scores higher than an 80%, they don't have to write the actual final exam.
 * Final Exam Info:**

Tuesday June 2nd
I just realized that instead of "May" I was putting "Math". You know you are a Math teacher when.... So we have now learned how to use all the trig functions! In 6.13 we combine that knowledge to "Solve a Triangle". This means we need to state all three side lengths and all three angle measurements. Q1-4 from section 6.13 is due tomorrow and there will be a test on the material on Thursday.

Monday Math 25th
Today we started 6.11 The Tangent Ratio. We drew a triangle to a specific degree and then measured our opposite & adjascent sides, and came to the conclusion that calculators are wonderful things! Q 1-2 are due for homework (p 256).

Thursday Math 21st
Okay, so we weren't quite ready for the quiz...which is ok! Today we corrected the word problems from 9.10. You should realize that these problems should be easy if you follow these steps: 1. Draw a diagram & fill in any info 2. Write your formula 3. Plug in your info into the formula and solve for the unknown. Tomorrow we will do the Pythagorean Quiz and start 9.11--> if you have a ruler, bring it!

Wednesday May 20th
Over the last week we have been doing 9.10 Pythagorean Theorem. We started out with a review of radicals (square roots, etc) and equations, and then moved to the Theorem itself. Yesterday and today we completed Q 1-18 on page 247...some students have homework to do! Please make sure you complete the questions and check your work, as there will be a quiz tomorrow!

Tuesday May 5th
Today we learned that the sum of ANY polygon's exterior angles is equal to 360 degrees. Questions 39-47 were worked on.

Monday May 4th
May the fourth be with you!!! Today we started. We learned: Questions 1-38 were assigned
 * the different names of polygons, according to the number of sides,
 * how to figure out the number of diagonals (n(n-3)/2)
 * how to figure out the sum of the interior angles of a polygon [(n-2)180]

Friday May 1st
Today we did our 6.8 assignment on Quadrilaterals. The students used their note sheets that we make together to complete the questions. I picked questions that we had done and corrected in class.

We also started **6.9 Polygons:**
 * terminology
 * different types of polygons

Wednesday April 29th
Today I handed back assignment 6.6 and we worked on questions 41-73. Tomorrow we will do any of the Q's 1-73 that were confusing.

Tuesday April 28th
Yesterday the students completed their take in assignment for 6.6...thing to remember folks: put the corresponding marks on the triangles!!! For example: if it is a scalene triangle, it needs a different mark on each side to show that each side is a different length.

Today we introduced Quadrilaterals! We learned the terminology involved, the difference between a convex and non-convex, and the 7 different types of quads. I also assigned questions 1-40 in section 6.8.

Week of April 20-24, 2009
Helloooo! This is your new Math Captain speaking, Ms Meegan. I will still be updating this wonderful math page so that everyone can make sure that they know what is going on!

This week we worked on Section 6.6 Triangles. We filled in our worksheet (and added a few properties that I forgot...ooops), did examples together, a few Your Turns, and then Q 1-60 for practice, practice, practice. Today (Friday) we will be correcting Q 52-60 together on the board, to make sure everyone is on the same page. Then, since it is SO important to know the properties, we will be making posters on our new-learned Properties and put them up around the room.
 * Remember**: if you know your Properties 1-9, you will have no problem figuring out the questions!!! If you are struggling with a Q, just look at your Property Sheet for reference.

Have a great weekend!
 * MONDAY**: there will be a INDEPENDENT assignment on 6.6 during class. To make sure you are prepared, study your properties!!!!!! If you know your properties, you'll know how to do the questions. Also, practice the problems 1-60 that you did to make sure that you can find the unknown.

You had a puzzle day. If you didn't hand in your budget assignment (there were 7 of you) it is sitting as a zero. Your report card mark will show it. As well, you were HIPed. Wouldn't it be easier just to hand it in?

It is important to remember to PRACTICE your math by completing all homework assignments. "Looking over" math doesn't really work! You have to do math to learn math!

Friday January 16, 2009
We worked on our review today... For the whole class. Your review needs to be completed by Tuesday. Remember your review is your exam... HMMMMMMMMM If I do well on my review... that would mean I will do well on my midterm!!!!! Work your best and ask questions when you have them. Advoiding work is not a good thing.

We completed graphing Olbique lines. Your job was to pay attention today... You did AWESOME! You will have 40 min to work during tomorrow's class. Remember that when you are looking at the assignment. Your assignment for today is Page 104 and 105 #5-10, 11-30 even, 31-38 even, 39, 40, 41, 42. This will be done for the end of tomorrow's class. You will not have enough time if you leave it all for tomorrow! PLEASE DO SOME HOMEWORK!!

Friday January 9, 2009
We took a lot of time to make sure we are understanding how to graph vertical and horizontal lines. We spent the last 20 minutes starting our notes on oblique lines. Oblique lines are those straight lines that are not vertical or horizontal. We are finding out which (x, y) values satisfy a linear equations. Don't let the word linear scare you. It is the equations that you have been doing all along. We will finish your notes on Oblique lines and then on Monday we will complete an assignment.

Have a great weekend.

Thursday January 8, 2009
Wow what a day. You need to know the difference between a vertical and horizontal lines. You also need to know how to graph by using a table of values. Your assignment for today is Page 97 #21-41. Tomorrow we are moving on 3.7.

media type="custom" key="2970132"

Wednesday January7, 2009
We worked on horizontal and vertical lines. When a line is vertical the "x" value does not change. When a line is horizontal the "y" value does not change. Vertical line equation is x=a, where a horizontal line equation is y=b (where a dn b are unknown numbers). Your assignment today was page 97 #1-11. You should have the work done in class if you did your job. If not have it done for homework.

Tuesday January 6, 2009
We worked on 3.5. We are using the vertical line test to see if a graph is a function. It may see confusing but it is quite simple when you get it. Light bulb moment is coming soon!!!

Monday January 5, 2009
Helloooo and welcome to 2009. We worked on 3.4 Interpreting Graphs of Real World Relations. Your job is to have page 87 to 90 complete for tomorrow.
