Algebra I: Today in math students began class with a Do Now and a set of warm up problems.  Next, students continued with chapter 8 and quadratic functions.  Students   We then jumped back into section 8.3 on functions in the form of f(x) = x² + bx + c.  Students spent class time familiarizing themselves with finding the axis of symmetry and the vertex of a given function.  Next, students were determining whether a given function was even, odd or neither, as well as comparing transformations of the form f(x) = a(x - h)² to the parent function of
 f(x) = x².   After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were assigned some problems from the text book, page 446 #5-25 odds.  These problems will be due on Thursday in class.

Assignments:  Students were assigned some problems from the text book, page 446 #5-25 odds.  These problems will be due on Thursday in class.

7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmaster activities. Next, students were calculating discounts and markups.  After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were given class time to work on and complete problems from the textbook for section 6.6, #1, 2, 4-20, 22-25 to be due Thursday in class.

Assignments:   Review HW #45 is due Wednesday in class.   Workbook pages 132-136 are due Wednesday in class.
