review day by chris plouffe

First thing we did today was our warm up and mad minute. Then the class and I worked on some problems that we didnt understand on the homework sheet. Then we went over problems to practice for the big QUIZ tomorrow. Now we are wrapping up the day with a review packet. Remember odds on hw sheet it will help you on the big QUIZ tomorrow. Have a great mathimatic day!!!!!!!

FUN* with negative exponents!

Today in another exciting day in algebra we went over negative exponents and how to convert them by flipping to either the numerator or the denominator. we started the morning with a warm up followed writting down notes about the negative exponents in are card notes.  After that we worked on a new mad minute, followed by working on the whiteboards to get better with are skills at the negative exponents routine.  What was collected today was the 8.3 practice sheet.

HW: 7-1 Practice C

3/25/11 Paige

Today we leanrned about zero powers. Any thing raised to the zero power is 1. We worked on the tutor and  we had a mini. test on exponents.
Things we did and passed in are the mini. quiz
No homework.

Survey, Exponents Kayla Legacy

Today for the first 40 minutes we took a survey on bullying, etc. After we did a worksheet on exponents (all problems). We handed in the paper after, we worked on Carnegie Learning. No homework. Collected papers are 8.1, 8.2, and 9-1.

Sam Sexton gr

Today we reviewed with exponents. We multiplied with exponents. We divided with exponents. We also subtracted with exponents. As a class we worked on the white boards and reviwed exponents that way to get more practice. Nothing was collected today in class. The homework was 8.2 all.

Bases and Exponents- Ashley Kenne.

We took a quiz in our back to basic books. We learned a lot about exponents. We learned when you multiply by the same base you add the exponents and when you raise power to power you multiply the exponents.
Homework: 8.1 front page only
Collected: Nothing

natalie is my best student :)

Today's class was a success. We added and subtracted Polynomials, and learned about Monomials, Binomial's and Trinomials. Tonights homework is even or odds of adding and subtracting polynomials page one. The only thing collected today was the packet we did today in class.


have a greeeeaaaatttt daay.

Test Day,Brianna Guerrin

Today in class we started off with a warm up. After the warm up we moved on to our test.
The test has two parts to it, one graphing part then the next part was Inequalities and graphing 
and word probles.Then we ended the class with the tutor.




Work Completed and Truned in:
we took a test,Nothing was passed in.




Homework Assigned:
None

Studying for test-Chris

Today on this Thursday we had our warm up then learned about multiplying fractions. Then we moved on to white boards and playing the sliding eraser game to study on our quiz tomorrow. Then we wrapped it up with word problems and a homework study guide for tomorrow.

natalie is the best

Friday we have a test. For the test on friday, we made a study guide.
We went over graphing, and we used the white boards to challenge each other.
Nothing was collected. Our homework is graphing absolute value fractions.

Absolute Value Graph Kayla

Today we put the finishing touches on our project and presented today. It went well. Then after, we took out white boards and practiced graphing equations and then after we did a double sided classwork/homework on absolute value.  Collected today was the poster. Homework was the classwork.

graphed absolute value functions-hannah k

Today we learned how to change the A value and the vertex. We also graphed it and made a poster on it. We did not turn anything in today,and we have no homework!!!!!!!!!! :) :) We are presenting our posters tomorrow in class with our absolute value functions graphs.

Carnegie Day- Ashley Kenne

We worked on Carnegie Learning today to practice our math skills. Yesterday we learned how the vertex moved on a graph and how the slope changed depending on the number substituted for "a". We graph the vertex on the origin first and then we figured out how to move it depending on the numbers inside and outside of the absolute value bars.
Collected work: None
Homework: None

Absolute Value Jared

Investigaion to help us realize that when there is a negative number on the outside it goes opposite. The higher the number is the steeper it is. The smaller the wider it is.

Collected: Investigation and WS Graphing

HW: WS Graphing (if did not finish in class)

Finding Vertexes-Grace

Today in class, we learned how to solve vertexes by graphing equations on our calculators.
We noticed when the number was inside, the vertex moved over to the right or left.
When the number was on the outside, the vertex moved up or down. This can help us find
the vertex.
Collected: Graphing Calculator Packet
Tonight's HW: Vertex WS

Rangers Activity JAKE

Today, we did many challenges of making a "V" with the Rangers. We had to make a steady speed v, a opp. direction, and slower speed.It was FUN. We also learned about vertices, the vertex is the point at the end of the "V". The vertex worksheet was collected. There is no homework. :)

Quiz and Tutor Samantha

Today in class our class worked with absolute value. After our warm up we took a quiz which was also on absolute value. Once everyone in the class completed the quiz the other math class came in and we all worked on the tutor. The quiz was passed into the bin along with our homework from the night before, and there is no homework tonight for this class.

quiz review Paige

Today we learned about no solutions. We know its no solution when the equation is equal to a negative. We did a game were we had to fix each others problems.

Collected work. Handed in homework and what we did in class

Homework review for quiz tomorrow also page 9.12 practice

Baking some cake! Matt Dube

Today we worked more on solving inequalities by creating a cake and having people work on the  different  layers and determine what length the cake should be by using inequalities. We also learned that an absolute value  has no solution when its equal to a negative number. We also learned how your absolute value related to error. we also timed ourselves with stopwatches and tried to guess when a minute went by.

Collected work: Ms. Benware collected are math homework from the previous night

Homework for  2nite: Absolute value and inequalities due front and back. (pg.128 and 129)

Absolute Value Inequalities-Miss Benware

Today we worked on Absolute Value equations. We learned that we must get the absolute value alone before we write the two equations. (Make the mountain or upside down V) We learned how to graph absolute value inequalities. To solve an absolute value inequality you keep one inequality the same on the other inequality you flip the sign and make the number negative.

Collected Work: Last nights HW

HW Tonight: Finish the Absolute Value and Inequalities WS pg 71 and 72
