Please look at the date carefully, as I sometimes put up homework for weeks to come!!! 2.) A student should spend about 20-25 minutes on homework. here are some helpful resources you can look at when studying for your final: look at the back of yr text book for the website and work on the chapter you are on. Each quiz is 5 multiple choice questions and relates to one of the skills I expect you to have mastered. The computer will grade the quiz for you. You can also retake the quiz as many times as you like because the computer creates a new quiz each time. If you'd like, you can print your completed quiz and keep them to show me. This is not required. Feel free to try other quizzes, you don't have to limit yourself to just the quizzes that I chose. set 5/ 19 study for final Final for period 7 middle school will be on wed 5/21 period7 high school will be 5/23 set 5/12 turn in 6 questions: y=3x y=-1x/2 y=5x+1 y=-3x+12 5x-10y<40 0.4x+2y> 8 set 5/12 work on ch9 in class set 5/14 find the x and y intercepts and find the vertex usign any method. q .1 x^2 +5x+6=0 q.2 2x^2 +5x+3 = 0 quiz on this material on friday set 5/5 these 5 questions csolved and graphed on a number line I 3t-1I < 8 I2-pI>40 -I6x-7I< or equal to -12 I4m-5I>11 4- 3I m+2I>-14 set 5/6 p560 1-14 find vertex and axis of symmetry set p 417 q 48 study for quiz on monday on absolute values, solvign absolute vlaues with inequalities. drawing linear inequalities and also 2 inequalities on a graph. set 4/28 p163 9-14 or make up yr own 6 questions; 2 of each type. set 4/29solvign inequalitiesstandard p 222 13-36, hons 93 57-74 set block solvign absolute values:standard hons set 4/21 class work waswhat is a function/ domain and range/ dependent and independent variable, finish lab and start graphign sin and cosine and tan if not done- find domain and range of each set block- trig assessment worksheets set4/14 5 of each sort of sin question set 4/15 cos and tan questions 3 of each typer= 18 questions set 4/7 p 695 odd 1-15 set 4/8 chapter review 12 set blcok use packets from today to study http://www.monkey.org/~aidan/origami/crane/ set 3/31 set mon p 684 21-39 odd set tues p689 17-27 odd set block in class pp689 30-40 all and 29+40- possibklel extenions in comept.

The positive and negative space work together to create the images. Activity: Students will start with ANY shape piece of paper. They will use either the rotation or slide transition method to create a template for their tessellations. They will trace onto newsprint to come up with an idea for the image it will create. Then they will trace onto larger surface area ( a wall) to create a repeating pattern of images. They will paint to achieve the final product. - Can use animation with computer program. See examples Use Clarisworks, Flying colors or the online demo version of Tessellmania. http://www.mcn.org/ed/CUR/cw/Math/Tessellation/Tessell.html Closure: We will put up all of the student artwork and have a discussion about successes and failures using art vocabulary.
