We worked some more with lines of best fit today in Lesson 16.2.

Homework: Textbook pages 851-852

Wednesday 5/27

Today we dove into lines of best fit with Lesson 16.1.

We learned how to draw a line of best fit, calculate the equation of that line, and then use the equation to estimate unknown independent and dependent quantities.

Homework: Finish textbook pages 836-837

Tuesday 5/26

We finished Chapter 15 today with Lesson 15.3. We ran a nerve impulse experiment as a class and collecting data along the way. We were then able to use that data to construct a table and a scatter plot, and then interpret the data we collected.

Homework: Textbook page 824 and what you didn't finish in class.

Today was our second-to-last day of MATHia for the year. The final MATHia grading period will close on Friday. Are you on track to meet your goals?

Homework: MATHia practice

Friday 5/01

Another week down! We're now two weeks away from SBAC testing, and only six weeks away from the end of the year!

Here is this week's extra credit:

Week 32 Extra Credit

The sun has a circumference of about 4,400,000 km (4.4 x 10^6 km). 

 Based on the circumference above, what is the volume of the sun?  Write your answer in scientific notation. Use 3.14 for pi.

Thursday 4/30

Today we wrapped up our look at the volume of spheres with Lesson 14.3.

Homework: Textbook page 780

Wednesday 4/29

We found the volume of spheres today in Lesson 14.3. Remember, all you need to know to find the volume of a sphere is the radius [V = 4/3(pi)(r^3)]. Sometimes determining the radius requires a bit of work, though.
