Ten weeks down! The year is now 25% complete, and your first grades are on their way home. Are you proud of your progress so far?

Here is this week's extra credit:

Week 10 Extra Credit

A linear function, when graphed, runs through the points (2, 9), (6, 17) and (9,23).

 Write an equation for a linear function that has the same slope as the linear function represented above, but a greater y-intercept. 

Write an equation in slope- intercept form.

We worked towards our mastery goals in MATHia today.

We'll be taking Common Assessment #2 tomorrow. Be sure to do everything in your power tonight to walk in as prepared and confident as possible tomorrow. A study guide is available in the Documents Locker. The best study tools are old tests, previous class work, and completed homework assignments.

Homework: Study for Common Assessment #2

Wednesday 10/15

Today we finished the second half of Lesson 3.6, which focused on equations in standard form.

Tomorrow will be a MATHia day and we'll be taking Common Assessment #2 on Friday.

Also, we'll be taking our Chapter 3 Test on Tuesday next week, so an online study sessionhas been scheduled for Monday night throughThe Community for those that may be interested.

Homework: Textbook pages 206-207 "Talk the Talk"

We learned how to do three things in class today with the first half ofLesson 3.6:

• Graph a line using slope-intercept form,
• Find the y-intercept if given only the slope and a point on the line,
• Find the equation of a line if given only two points on the line

     
Today's lesson was a very important one, so be sure to check your class work with the solutions posted here. Also, be sure to give your best effort on tonight's homework (use your class work to help you if you need). It's important that we're all proficient with these skills.

A study guide for Common Assessment #2 has been posted to the Document Locker. It's a great tool to help you focus your study time and preparation efforts for theCommon Assessment on Friday.

Today was the first day of our second MATHia grading period, which makes it a great day to start fresh, compare your MATHia grades from the previous two weeks with the rubric, set some goals for improvement, and get off to a great start!

                               

We need to deviate a bit from our normal routine, so here's the plan for the rest of the week:

• Monday MAthia                                                                                                             
• Tuesday: Lesson 3.6 (first half)
• Wednesday: Lesson 3.6 (second half)
• Thursday: MATHia
• Friday: Common Assessment #2 Homework: MATHia practice

Friday 10/10

Have a great weekend everyone!                              

Here is this week's extra credit!                                                    Week # 9 Extra Credit:
A line runs through points (10 , 32) (0 , 7).

1. What is the slope of the line?


2. Where does the line intersect on the y- axis?

Thursday 10/09

We learned how to find the y-intercept in contexts, graphs, tables, and equations today with Lesson 3.5.
