Quadratics

Hi there 2nd/6th period Algebra and Geometry students. If you are reading this it means that you finished your exponents and factoring summative. I will grade this summative over the next weekend and it will be the first summative for the 3rd 6-weeks.

Now we need to start the final section that will complete the 4th 6-weeks of Algebra: Quadratics. These are the type of graphs that look like a "U." Watch the following videos in order and take your own notes. I have included questions that you should answer as part of your notes for some videos you will watch.

Video #1: Intro to Quadratics

http://www.brightstorm.com/math/algebra/quadratic-equations-and-functions/exploring-quadratic-graphs/

Information to inlcude in your notes:

1. What is a parabola, what shape does it make?
2. What exponent will always be with the x variable in a quadratic equation?
3. What is symmetry?
4. What does the line of symmetry do?
5. What is the parent function of a quadratic equation?

Video #3:

Video #4: Quadratic equations shifting rules

http://www.brightstorm.com/math/algebra/quadratic-equations-and-functions/vertical-and-horizontal-shifts-of-quadratic-graphs/

As you watch this video following along on your own calculator. You might need to pause the video to take notes or while you work the calculator. Tip: draw pictures in your notes to help you later.

Information to include in your notes:

1. How can you find the vertex using a table? What do you have to look for?
2. How does adding 2 to your parent function of y = x^2 change it? What about subtracting 3?
3. How does adding or substracting a number with x inside the parenthesis affect the graph?
a. y = (x - 2)^2 will move the quadratic graph to the _________________.
b. y = (x + 3)^2 will move the quadratic graph to the _________________.
c. What two directions does the vertex move in the two quadractic equations in #3?
4. If the number is inside the parenthesis it represents a _______________ shift.
If the number is outside the parenthesis it represents a _______________shift.

Proportions, patterns and writing expressions

As you watch the following videos that were produced by Ms. Tennyson, Algebra 1 teacher on the first floor, copy all the notes on the problems she covers. This will be an introduction to proportions, finding patterns, and writing expressions that show this pattern.

Solving equations: multi step and variables on both sides

After you TEKS check today you are going to continue solving equations, but now you will practice solving multi step equations and solving equations with the variable on both sides of the equal side. Click the links below to watch videos where multi step equations and equations with variables on both sides are being solved. Follow along and take notes on the accompanying sheet as they solve the problems.

Multi-step equations:

After the 1.3B Summative

Please follow the directions on the board and on this blog after you finish the 1.3B summative.

1. Make sure you have the worksheet. On the side of the paper titled "Notes: Evaluating Expressions." This is where you copy your examples from the video.

2. Watch the 4 minute video. Please copy the examples on your worksheet.



3. When you finish the video and the examples, complete the odds on the other side of the worksheet. This will be graded for a formative assessment.

4. After you complete the problems you may click the link below and play the game about evaluating expressions.

Hello Algebra Experts!

Hello hello my algebra experts. This is our new algebra blog where I will periodically post information or links. Today I am at training and I am using this blog to post some powerpoints and directions for you follow. This way you can still be productive even when I am not around. Just pretend I am standing over your shoulder monitoring your progress.


Find your period below and follow those directions, remember it is an A day.

1st period Algebra:

We ended last class on the very last page of our function packet. This last page discusses domain and range more in depth. Now there is not just a few points on each graph, but a continuous line. Here are some important things to remember with domain and range:


Domain: x values
Range: y values

The arrow at the end of some lines on the graphs = forever


1. Watch the powerpoint below on domain and range.


2. When you finish the last page on function packet give it to the substitute and she will give you a 1.3A summative quiz to take. (turn in the summative to the bin marked 1/5)


3. After the summative, you may play math games or work on school work for other classes.

Domain and range

View more presentations from jeverson13

2nd period Algebra/Geometry:


Last class you finished the evaluating and writing functions packet. Watch the short powerpoint that I created about Parent Functions. They are very simple and after you finish watch it you will take summative 1.3B.


When you finish the summative turn it in to slot 2/6. Then you may work on other school work or play some math computer games from the list of links that I will provide.

Parent functions

View more presentations from jeverson13

3rd and 4th period Algebra:


Last class we started a Gizmo about functions. Get your function packet out from your folder. Start your Gizmo again (explore learning.com). Start your Gizmo where ever you stopped. When you finished the Gizmo you may work on the worksheets in the back of the packet.


If you get to the very last worksheet in your packet that is all about domain and range on continuous functions, then watch the powerpoint that I have posted under 1st period Algebra.


What if I finished everything?


Here are some links to math games that you may play.
