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.

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.




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.

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.
