Math 8 Stone

Welcome Back! This is the place where you will find out what we did in class and what the homework is for the day. Most of the time, the homework will be book work, so I will just list the page number and the problems assigned. I will usually put a link to the notes we took in class.

What a great first day! It was a pleasure meeting all of you. We found our seats by doing a math problem. Your answer corresponded to a table number. We then made name cards that included an "I Notice" "I Wonder" activity. We also completed a NASA activity to let us know if we could survive on the moon.

We learned how to graph inequalities today. It is a lot like graphing linear equations. Remember if it is "greater than" or "less than" it is a dotted line. When it is "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to the line is solid".

When deciding where to shade for each inequality, we picked a point on either side of the line and plugged it into the inequality. If the point made the inequality true then we shaded in the side the point was on. If it was false, we shaded in the opposite side of the line.

The solution for the system of inequalities was located in the area on the graph where both or all three inequalities had shading together (in my notes from class it is the dark pencil shading).


QUIZ CORRECTIONS DUE Monday! Pajama day is also on Monday.
