Welcome back. I hope you all had a relaxing and fun spring break.
46 more days left till summer break!!!
23 more days until Echo Hill and Atlanta Trip.
__________________________________________________________________
Algebra: We are reviewing for a exam on polynomials. The exam is tomorrow!!!!
After the exam, we will be starting Quadratic Equations!!!
Good luck with studying!
____________________________________________________________________
Pre-algebra: We are graphing inequalities. Decide if a solid or dashed line is needed. Then pick an ordered pair to test if it's part of the solution. If it is, shade in that area. If it is NOT a solution, shade in the other side.
HW: Pg 439 12-15, 24-27

2 Days left!!!!
Happy Crazy Hair Day! There were some cool and crazy hair-dos.
We only have 2 more days left until Spring Break!!!
Remember: Tomorrow we have Founder's Day at Grace Church. The only thing you need to bring is a lunch only IF you are not getting a pizza lunch. Tomorrow is a uniform day.
Friday is 60's and 70's Day. A blast from the past!!! We also have the middle school students versus faculty in soccer. So remember to bring shoes to play soccer in (ask Mr. Musgrove about what is appropriate to play in as far as clothes go).
__________________________________________________________________
Algebra: Today we continued to factor polynomials completely. Tomorrow and Friday we will be reviewing chapter 9.
Unit test is Tuesday, 3/31 (will change if needed)
HW: None. But don't forget you have homework due Friday.
_______________________________________________________________
Pre-algebra: Today we looked at Function Notation. f (x) is read as f of x.
f(x) = mx + b
y = mx + b
f(x) is in the same position as y.
So, if the question is are asking for you to find f (x), you plug in your x value and solve for f (x).
If the question is asking you to find the value of x, plug in f (x) and solve for x.
HW: None (lucky you guys)
_________________________________________________________________
Math I and II: Today we simplified expressions. Expressions don't have equal signs. We combine like terms to reduce to lowest terms.
Like terms: 3x, -50x, 1/2x, -22x, -x, x
3, -25, -64, 29
2b, -2b, 43b
Not like terms: 2x, -2y
4, 4x, 3y
HW: None. But don't forget about your Study Guide for your unit test. It's not due until after Spring Break but do you really want to leave it to the last minute? Don't answer that question!

3 days to go till SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow is Wacky Hair Day. Have Fun!
_______________________________________________________________
Algebra: Today we factored polynomials completely. We re-grouped terms to factor. Be careful of sign changes. For example: (x-4)(4-x).
Homework: see handout
________________________________________________________________
Pre-algebra: Today we continued to write linear equations in y=mx + b. Remember, if you have a slope and a point on the graph, you can solve to find b (y-intercept).
Example: m = 3, point on graph (4, 6) y = mx + b 6 = 3(4) + b
6 = 12 + b
-6 = b
answer: y = 3x - 6
HW: see handout
________________________________________________________________
Math I and II: Today we solved equations by multiplying or dividing. We do the opposite operation to isolate the variable. Watch the sign!!!

Happy Monday!
Spirit Week!!!
Tomorrow is mixed match day!
Algebra: Today we solved factoring special products. We saw three forms: (a+b)-squared,
(a-b)-squared, and a-squared - b-squared. The third form are the easier of the three. Remember that for the first two forms, the middle term cancels out.
HW: pg 603 6, 8, 12, 14, 18, 20, 28-36 even, 46, 48, 51
_________________________________________________________________
Pre-algebra: Today we learned how to write linear equations using y = mx + b. Remember, parallel lines have the same slope, different y-intercepts. Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal.
HW: pg 422 8-11, 18-23, 27-30, 34 optional
_________________________________________________________________
Math I and II: Today we looked at solving one step equations by undoing adding or subtracting.
You can check any equation by plugging in your solution into the original equation. If one side equals the other side, it checks!

Tomorrow, we are celebrating Pi Day!
Algebra: Today, we continued to factor ax-squared + bx + c. We then started to look at factoring special products. We will continue to look at special products on Monday.
HW is 9.6 in the workbook: #'s 7, 9, 11, 19, 21, 23, 29, 31, 33, 34, 36
Tomorrow we are celebrating Pi day after a short quiz.
_________________________________________________________________
Pre-algebra: Today, we continued to look at slope-intercept form. We found out how to write a perpendicular and parallel equation with a given equation.
Homework: Pg 415 13-16, 22-27, 28-31, 42-45
Tomorrow we are celebrating Pi day after a short quiz.
_________________________________________________________________
Math I and Math II: Today, we learned how to solve simple equations. The objective is to isolate the unknown (whether that is a variable or object). We add or subtract and multiple or divide to find the solution.
Hint on Homework: Instead of subtracting numbers (like we did in class), you are subtracting objects. So, in #1, You will take two balls away from each side leaving 0 balls on the left side and 3 balls on the right side. Next, you want to take away 4 coins on the right side and 4 from the left side. That leaves you with 3 coins on the left side and three balls on the right side. That means 1 ball = 1 coin.
Do this same technique with the other three problems. If the variables are confusing you, you can either write out all of the y's and x's or draw a shape in their place.
Hope that helped.
Homework was SL 6.9

Algebra: Okay,today we saw an easier, faster way of factoring polynomials. Just remember that once you get towards the end and it doesn't work, try changing the signs to get it to work.
The more practice, the easier it will get.
Homework is either the workbook or textbook problems.
Good luck and may the force be with you :)
_________________________________________________________________
Pre-algebra: Today we saw a fast way to graph equations using the slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
where b is the intercept (we plot this first), then we plot more points using the slope.
m = slope = rise/run, the change in y over the change in x
Homework is pg. 415 10 - 12, 17 - 24, 28 - 31, 32 a and b only
You should have enough information to do most of the homework.
Pi Day is in two days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
__________________________________________________________________
Math I: Today we started to look at solving simple equations. We were able to solve these by trial and error. Tomorrow and the days following we will be looking at more difficult equations and learning how to solve them algebraically.
Tonights homework is SL 6.8
