Students took their last quiz of the year on Friday, but many students were absent due to trips and other plans. If you missed the quiz, plan to make it up on Tuesday when you return from the Memorial Weekend.
MONDAY No school - Memorial Day TUESDAY - FRIDAY This week we will be working on our Project for Unit 6 on Quadratics. Students will work in a team of 3 to look at how the Angry Birds make quadratic equations and graphs from their launch path. LT: Describe the characteristics of quadratic functions (i.e. symmetry, zeros, shape, min/max and vertex) for both graph and equation. LT: Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. SC: You are successful if you can - create an input/output table and graph the corresponding graph of the equation - identify the vertex from the graph - identify the x-intercepts from the quadratic formula and the graph of the quadratic - Use information from the graph to find the distance and the height of your Angry Bird.

This Friday we will be taking our last quiz of the year!!!! Study hard this week and end out the quiz year on a good note.
MONDAY No class today - students will be either at CJ Barrymore's for the end of the year field trip, or helping out with the middle school open house. TUESDAY We are finishing up practicing using the quadratic formula to find the x-intercepts of a quadratic. LT: Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. SC: Students are successful if they can - identify and substitute the a, b, and c values into the formula - use order of operations to find the value of the square root -use the +/- to find both answers or roots of the quadratic WEDNESAY - FRIDAY We will be reviewing on Wednesday and Thursday and taking our quiz on LT4 and LT5 on Friday. LT4:Solve quadratic equations using factoring (a = 1, when a is greater than 1). LT5: Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. SC: You are successful if you can: - Factor a quadratic in the form y=x^2 + bx + c or y=x^2 -bx + c. Remembering that the factors of your C value need to add to your B value! Use the BOX or Factor box tool to help you organize your thoughts. - Find the x-intercepts of a quadratic equation by substituting into the quadratic formula and solving for the two possible answers (remember that negative square roots have no intercepts) Student Progress reports will be sent home on Tuesday. My grades were submitted Friday and are posted on the grade wall in the back of the room. If you grade is not where you want it to be, its not to late to come to tutoring to make up work, a quiz, or a test.
MONDAY We are finishing up our Spring SCANTRON testing today. I will share with students their Fall and Winter scores and the grade level equivalency. The goal is to show growth in your math skills from the beginning of the year. TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY We are practicing factoring (look at notes from Wed, May 10th) LT:Solve quadratic equations using factoring (a = 1, when a is greater than 1) and identify zeros. SC: You are successful if you can: - Factor a quadratic in the form y=x^2 + bx + c or y=x^2 -bx + c. Remembering that the factors of your C value need to add to your B value! Use the BOX or Factor box tool to help you organize your thoughts. THURSDAY - FRIDAY We will be taking notes and practicing using the Quadratic Formula LT: Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. SC: Students are successful if they can - identify and substitute the a, b, and c values into the formula - use order of operations to find the value of the square root -use the +/- to find both answers or roots of the quadratic We are now in the middle of Unit 6 and ready for our first Quiz. Our first quiz for the unit will be on Tuesday, May 9th.
MONDAY We will be reviewing the first 3 learning targets that are on the quiz with a study guide and guide questions based on the most missed questions from the Practice Quiz on Friday LT1: Sketch the graph of an equation or function and identify the family function. LT2: Describe the characteristics of quadratic functions (i.e. symmetry, zeros, shape, min/max and vertex) for both graph and equation. LT3: Multiply polynomials by using the distributive property. SC: You are Successful if you can: -Determine the family function. Quadratics are U shaped with a x^2, Linear as lines y=mx+b, Linear Absolute Value are V shaped y=|ax+b|, and Exponential is a smooth J-shaped curve y=ab^x. -Describe a quadratic graph by its min/max value, axis of symmetry (x=-b/2a), vertex, and x-intercepts - Distribute polynomials using either First Outer Inner Last, or the Box Method. TUESDAY Quiz on learning targets 1-3!! WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY On Wednesday we will take notes on factoring and then we will practice this on Thursday and Friday. LT4: Solve quadratic equations using factoring (a = 1, when a is greater than 1) and identify zeros. SC: You are successful if you can: - Factor a quadratic in the form y=x^2 + bx + c or y=x^2 -bx + c. Remembering that the factors of your C value need to add to your B value! Use the BOX or Factor box tool to help you organize your thoughts. |
