Algebra I: Today in math students began class with a Do Now and a set of warm up problems.  Next, students jumped back into chapter 3.  Students were then introduced or were reviewing transformations within the coordinate plane.  Students began working with translating and reflecting linear equations on a graph.  There was lots of teacher led instruction and note-taking by students as Mr. Olsen was helping students key in on the clues that guide students when working with translations and/or reflections.  Students were assigned problems #1-6 on page 151 of the textbook, to be due on Wednesday in class.

Assignments:  Students were assigned problems #1-6 on page 151 of the textbook, to be due on Wednesday in class.

7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmaster activities.  Students continued working with algebraic expressions today in class.  We continued working with identifying terms, like terms, as well as coefficients and constants.  After some teacher led instruction and several examples of identifying terms and simplifying expressions, students were given class time to work on a simplifying expressions (including expressions using the distributive property) worksheet.  The simplifying expressions worksheet will be due Wednesday in class.

Assignments:  Review HW #16 is due on Wednesday in class.  The simplifying expressions worksheet is due on Wednesday in class.

Science:  Today in science students began class with the Do Now.  Next, students jumped back into the study of inquiry. Students continued our group investigative activity, and today students groups continued our investigation into possible explanations behind the school absences within our "test community" we have been working with.  Students were analyzing interview data and school calendars and drawing conclusions based on the evidence they gathered from the data.  

Assignments: None.
