Homework Fri 3/30

Todays homework is pg. 341-342, #1, 2, and 3, with #4 as a challenge problem. Use isometric and square dot paper to answer the questions.

In Class Wed. 3/28

Today we completed pg. 333, #8, and some started using isometric projections on pg. 341-342, #1 and 2. These will continue on Friday in class in order to create to objects using cubes. Isometric and square dot paper are required to draw your three dimensional and two dimensional projections.

Homework Tues. 3/20

Today we worked on creating matrices, pg. 269, #2, built models using pg. 278, #1, used Euler circuits to solve a metal cutting problem, pg, 264, #5, examined features of map making and coloring, using several handouts of maps, and finally from pg. 290, #4, examined coloring vertices, edges, and faces of polyhedra.

Homework Fri 3/16

Todays homework pg. 258, "On Your Own" a and b, #1 a and b, and on pg. 262, #2.

We began Unit 4 by examining efficient routes, Euler circuits and paths. In class we did pg. 251, #2, pg, 252, #5, pg. 255, #1 and 2, pg. 256, #4 and 5, and on pg. 257, the checkpoint.

In Class Wed. 3/14

Happy Pi Day! Today we did the Unit 3 (b) assessment. Be able to describe the features of a graph of a linear equation, plot scatterplots and find best fit lines using linear regression, use the equation of that line to make predictions, solve systems of equations problems using graphs, tables, and algebraically, and write equivalent equations. Next class, we will be working on Unit 4 which will include Euler circuits, paths, and Matrices.

Homework Mon 3/12

Todays homework is pg. 244-245, #2 and 3a,b. Prepare for the Unit 3 exam on Wednesday.

Homework Thurs. 3/8

Todays homework is pg. 231, #2 a+b and pg. 239, #3. We examined equivalent equations, compared systems of equations with one solution, no solutions, and an infinite number of solutions, as well as solving systems of equations problems.

There will be an assessment next Wednesday over this section.

Homework Tues. 3/6

Today we began Systems of Linear Equations problems and for homework, pg. 228-229, # 4 and the "On Your Own" section.
