Algebra I: Today in math students began class with a Do Now and a set of warm up problems.  Students then jumped right back into chapter 9.  Students reviewed the quadratic formula, practiced a few problems, and also reviewed discriminants and how to find them.  Students were then reminded of how we solved systems of linear equations, and were introduced to solving systems of non-linear equations through graphing, substitution and/or elimination.  After some teacher led instruction with a few example problems thrown in, students were assigned some homework from the textbook, page 530 #7; 12; 14; 18; 20; 23; 25; 40, to be due on Thursday in class.  

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