Tuesday, Mar 3, 2020

Students shared notes from HW last night on finding the sums of interior angles. We also added notes on exterior and central angles.

Thursday, Feb 20, 2020

Discussion today was around angle relationships - supplementary vs. complementary angles - and how to find the measure of missing angles given these relationships. Students discussed notes with their tables and practiced on Khan Academy "Supplementary and Complementary Angles w/ and w/o visuals."

Monday, Feb 10, 2020

After our quiz on identifying proportional relationships and comparing unit rates, we learned how we can use our knowledge of unit rates to write equations for proportional relationships. Students took guided notes and worked with tables on practice problems. They they practiced further on Khan Academy.

Monday, Feb 3, 2020

We reviewed the differences between ratios, rates, and unit rates before beginning discussion on how to match equations with graphs. We are learning that the coefficient is the same as the unit rate in a situation and the constant the same as the start value on the y-axis.

Tuesday, Jan 21, 2020

Students compared solving inequalities to solving equations and found that the steps are pretty similar except for two key steps: 1) if dividing or multiplying by a negative, the inequality symbol will flip and 2) graph the solution on a number line.

Friday, Jan 17, 2020

Students shared what they remembered from last year on graphing inequalities

Monday, Jan 13 - Wednesday, Jan 15, 2020

U4 Study Guide completion . . . the test on Thurs, Jan 16 will cover the following topics:

• identifying parts of an equation or expression
• writing expressions from cue words
• simplifying using the distributive property
• factoring expressions
• solving one-step and two-step equations
• solving equations with variables on both sides
• writing and solving equations for word problems

Wednesday, Jan 8, 2020

**Only Mrs. Merten's class had math today due to Adoration**

After the quiz, students worked on p 59 #1-5 with their tables. We discovered that the rate and start value correspond to specific parts of algebraic expressions and equations. After discussion, students worked in groups on p 60 #6-12 writing equations only.

Tuesday, Jan 7, 2020

Students reviewed as a class how to solving equations with variables on both sides, adding to their notes and completing practice problems with their table groups. Then they continued practice to prepare for the quiz on Buzz Math "Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides" and page 2 of the review problems from yesterday. (NOTE: p 2 will NOT be on the quiz.)

Monday, Dec 16, 2019

Students shared what they remember about solving equations from last year. Student completed practice problems and added to their notes before continuing practice in small groups and pairs.

Friday, Dec 13, 2019

After the quiz, we shared what we learned in the video from class yesterday on algebraic expressions. Tables also brainstormed a list of cue words that can help us write algebraic expressions. Then we practiced on Nearpod.

Tuesday, Dec 10, 2019

After reviewing the properties on Kahoot, we dove a little deeper into the distributive property, looking at how it can be applied to algebraic expressions. We also learned how to use the inverse of the distributive property - factoring. Students took notes on practice problems with their table and practiced further on NearPod.

Monday, Dec 9, 2019

After a preassessment for U4 on Mastery Connect, we watched the video below to review properties of numbers and copied notes into our notebooks. Students further practiced on NearPod.

Monday, Nov 11, 2019

Students shared their notes on solving for percent of a number videos using equations or proportions. Students practiced these methods of choice on NearPod.

Tuesday, Oct 1, 2019

Students shared what they learned about M.A.D. yesterday. We completed a practice problem together and talked about what M.A.D. tells us about a sample or population. Students then worked in partners to use measures of center and variability to compare populations.

Wednesday, Sept 25, 2019

After correcting our HW, students discussed how to determine if two populations are statistically different using box plot overlap. We worked on a set of data comparing college field hockey and basketball heights, creating a double box plot on the same number line and practicing what to look for (overlap in the BOX area).

Tuesday, Sept 17, 2019

We discovered that by increasing the sample size, you decrease the variability of the data. Students also began working on their sampling project with their table.

Thursday, Sept 12, 2019

Today we collected a random sample by flipping a paper clip over a random digit table. Students found that by increased the randomness of the sample collected, we decreased the variability and makes the data more representative of the population.

Monday, Sept 9, 2019

Today we reviewed how to make a histogram using frequency intervals. We developed a statistical question and collected data on it to make one for our class too. Students continued working on the histogram packet #3-8 in small groups.
