Friday, January 18

Geometry: We spent a good chunk of classtime reviewing ways to solve quadratics (graphing, factoring, completing the square and quadratic formula) and 7.2 homework. Quadratics are back in full swing for much of the remainder of the year! Students had the remainder of the time to work on their Kitchen Work Triangle Projects, which are due on Friday, January 25. We will have a quiz on chapter 7 Thursday, January 24.

Science: Completed Investigation 4-A (work and simple machines) by comparing the amount of force needed to lift a weight using different combinations of pulleys and how that affected the distance of rope used. No homework, Unit 3 "Quest" Wednesday, January 23. A "Quest" is a combination of a quiz and a test: Open note, corrections for partial credit, entered as a test grade.

Humanities: Students completed our chapter 7 quiz, finished a video on the American Revolution, discussed the importance of Dr. King, and shared current events in class. No homework. Have a great weekend.

Spanish I: Study for the midterm on Wednesday and Thursday next week. The vocab packet and study guide packet are due on Tuesday.

Course 3: We started to work on if a relation is a function or not.  Homework is worksheet 11.1, #6-9. 5th hour-Students should complete the function machine if they did not turn it in.  Make sure you include:  Domain, input, x, range, output, y, an equation and function.
