Algebra I: Today in math students began class with a Do Now and a warm up problem.  Next, students continued with chapter 9 and using properties of radicals to solve quadratic equations.  We began by reviewing how to find maximum and minimum values of a given equation.  Today, students were choosing the most efficient method of solving quadratics by reflecting on the five methods we've learned this chapter.  Students are also solving systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution.  After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were assigned some homework from the textbook, page 521 #37-43 odds; 51; TB p. 530 #7; 12; 14; 18; 20; 23; 25; 40, to be due on Wednesday in class.

Students can expect the chapter 9 test on Thursday of this week.

Assignments: Students were assigned some homework from the textbook, page 521 #37-43 odds; 51; TB p. 530 #7; 12; 14; 18; 20; 23; 25; 40, to be due on Wednesday in class.

7th Grade Math: Students began class with the Do Now, Flashmasters and/or the Problem of the Day.  Next, students reviewed writing and solving proportions, before students began learning about the relationship between an x and y variable in terms of slope of a line.  After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were given 25 minutes of class time to complete practice worksheet in which students were finding the slope of given lines on a graph by using the slope formula.  

Assignments:  Review Homework #52 is due on Wednesday in class.  The front side of the slope worksheet is due on Wednesday in class if students did not complete the assignment in the class time provided.

Science:  Students began class with the Do Now.  Next, students were in groups of two and we dissected frogs!  

Groups will be presenting their research on the body systems to their classmates on Wednesday May 1.

Assignments:  Students can be preparing for the upcoming body system presentations on Wednesday.
