Algebra+1+Part+1

=__**Welcome to Alegbra 1 Part 1.**__ Our goal is to complete the first 5 chapters of the Algebra 1 textbook at a mastery level. Mastery for me means 80% retention of content over time. This will take a lot of work but it will guarantee success in the long run.=

__ JUNE 3rd: __ Here is the assignment for today. Tomorrow we will talk about perpendicular lines. Tomorrow you will have your last homework assignment.

May 22nd: Here is the activity for today and you do have homework!

= = March 27: There will be no homework the rest of this week! Use every spare minute to work on the extra credit and to get quality work submitted for this week. Quarter closes on Friday!

March 21: Here is the homework for today. Remember the goal for this week is to find points on a line given the equation plus we need to continue to apply the goal from last week.

__ March 13th: __ I was a little disappointed today with the level of attentiveness in class. I am willing to get on you if it means you will pay attention during the lesson. It is not fair for you to say that I was cranky or mean when you are not paying attention in class. __ You have a responsibility in my room to be active participants, listeners and to ask questions. __ It works better for everyone if you can participate effectively. I don't mind questions if you are paying attention. It is saying "I don't get it" when you have been talking or doodling that upsets me. I know this is tough information. You will only learn it if you engage yourself in the instruction and practice. Here is the homework for today.

__March 6th__: Homework is posted! All groups have the same homework!

__ March 4th: __ No homework but thank you for checking. If you read this message and you are a girl than great me with a" bonjour" (french for hello) in the morning. If you are a male and read this message then great me with "howdy".

February 28th: Group B does not have homework since they just finished a test. Group A has homework:

February 26th : Here is the homework posted for each group: __February 6th:__ Today you may use class as a time to catch up or as an additional study hall. You should have plenty of time to get everything done from this week!

 * I bought 5.15 pounds of steak for $22.09. My friend bought 3.89 pounds of steak for $16.53. Who got the better deal? Show the work to find the price per pound and then make a comparison statement to clearly explain your choice. Be specific! (this is 20 points)**

__**September 4, 2012:**__ Today we will be taking notes on section 1.1. Our goal for the week is to be able to recognize Arithmetic / Geometric patterns, give the next 2 or 3 terms in the pattern and to model Arithmetic patterns in or to find the __**nth**__ term. Tomorrow you will be asked to complete as much as you can on worksheet 1.1 and to begin working on your first " I would rather...." question. I will explain tomorrow!

September 5th: We will be doing these word problems once or twice a week. Each solution is worth 20 points: 5 for the correct solution, 5 for the mathematical work and 10 for the sentence explaining your choice.

We will do this first one together: You have been offered 2 summer jobs. The first pays $9.25 per hour and the other pays $7.50 per hour but you also receive $30 per week in "tip outs". If you only plan to work 25 hours per week, which job would you rather take and why?

__**November 12th:**__ Please do the attached worksheet after the substitute teacher goes over the 3 example. Turn it in. You can do the problems on lined paper instead of printing it off. Also you are to try and solve the following word problem. Turn it in on seperate sheet of paper.

Last week at Sam's Club gas was $3.70 a gallon. I chose not to fill up my 20 gallon tank there and wait until I got to Searsport. I paid $75.80 to fill up. How much did I pay per gallon. If the price of gas is predicted to hit $4 per gallon in the summer and my husband has a truck with a 22gallon tank to fill each week and I plan to put in 15 gallons a week. How much more should we budget per month this summer than we do now?

__**DECEMBER 6th**__: Today you should finish the work from yesterday on page 133. When you are finished that assignment I would like you to go to page 745 and do lesson 3.2 (14-36 evens) and lesson 3.3 (2-16 evens). Remember tomorrow is fix and finish friday so __**all**__ work must be turned in to my tray so that I can correct it for you. Sorry to be gone again- sick children!

 * March 14th:** Today we are going to start by finding the % increase of a few items since my favorite decade - the 80's - to now. In 1982 a gallon of gas was $.91. Today it is $3.80 per gallon. A new car averaged $7,983 in 1982. Today a new car averages $18,850. In 1982 a postage stamp was $.20. Today it is $.45. Find the **percent increase** for **each** item. Show the work. Then **choose one item** and based on the percent increase **find the cost for that item in 2042.** Hint (think about why I selected 2042 - what is its connection to 2012?) Remember when problem solving you should always determine what you need to know in order to solve the problem. You need to calculate some additional information. You have 20 minutes to answer this question. __**Groups 1 and 2:**__ Your homework for tonight is to find a food label from a product you typically each. Cut it out and bring it to class with you. I want you to find 3 thing about your food. Find the % of calories from fat, the % calories from carbohydrates and the % calories from protein. Since everyone will have a different label be sure to bring it with you! Record you work and answers on a document in your math folder labeled March 14th. __**Group 3**__:

__**Period 1**__: Groups 1and 2 should complete the attached assignment labeled group 1. Remember when you are finished that extra credit and the nlvm website are fine. Also you could check out coolmath.com. Group 3: You guys are working on transferring lines from standard form to y=mx+b form. There is a practice sheet for you but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Go to the book and find the homework section for 5.5. Do the evens of the homework section. Remember point slope form is in this section and no one had questions about it yesterday. Work together to clarify any questions you have. Jack you are beginning section 5.2. Read the section in the book and complete the evens of the written exercises for section 5.2. I think this covers everyone. See you tomorrow!

__**Period 3**__: Group 1 will be Maynard, Allyson and Lief. Complete the assignment attached in the period 1 class labeled Group 1. Everyone else should read section 5.2, create a note guide about the section and then complete the evens in the written exercises. The notes guide should include: vocabulary in the section, 3 examples of how slope is used or found and any questions you have about the idea of slope. Turn in the work you get done. There is no additional homework.
