Day 1 (Friday 10-11)
Revisit Group Roles Procedure and New Seating Chart The Concept of Exponents and Simplifying Expressions with them: 3.1.1 #'s 1-5 In Class |
Assignment: [due Monday 10-14]
page 97 #'s 6-11 Hint for #9: Think of Sam's $10 per week as a rate of change, which is a slope. Your expression should look like mx+b, you just have to determine what m and b are from the word problem. |
Day 2 (Monday 10-14)
Now we take the practice from Friday and figure out what the general rules are for simplifying exponents: 3.1.2 #'s 12-18 In Class |
Assignment: [due Tuesday 10-15]
Page 100 #'s 19-24 |
Day 3 (Tuesday 10-15)
Practice Day with Exponents (TEST TOMORROW). We will do a "Walking Worksheet" in class followed by Whiteboard practice. |
Assignment: [Due Wednesday 10-16]
Exponents Practice!!! Worksheet. |
day 4 Wednesday 10-16
test 1
Day 5 (Thursday 10-17)
Go over test and more practice of Exponents for everybody with more challenging problems. RETEST will be TUESDAY!!! |
Day 6 Friday 10-18
1. We will also begin the next section 3.2.1 #'s 25-27. Combining like terms with Algebra Tiles. |
Assignment: [Due Monday 10-18]
Page 107 #'s 33, 34, 38, 39, 42-44 |
Day 7 Monday 10-21
1. Review of difficult Exponents. 2. We then learn how to use Algebra tiles to build rectangles in 3.2.2 page 109. The point of this lesson is to teach students to introduce students to factoring quadratics. #'s 45-47 & 52-53 In class |
Assignment: [Due Tuesday 10-21]
page 110 #'s 48-53 |
Day 8 Tuesday 10-22
Retest day for exponents!!! Those not taking the test will do a partner activity on Proportions that leads into Percents. Ultimately I'd like to introduce you to Interest Rate problems related to finances. |
Assignment: [Due Wed. 10-22]
