Notes and vocabulary (definitions and audio reading of the definitions) are available athttp://norupstein.weebly.com/math-8-plus-blog.

Focus Question:

What does it mean to say that a figure has slide or translational symmetry? How is each point related to its image under transformation by translation?

Stein - Intro to Coding - 4.27.17

What We Did Today:

Students defined variables by giving them a name and assigning them a value or expression, used variables within Evaluation Blocks and described a situation where using variables as substitutions for values or expressions is more efficient. Students took Lesson 5 notes and completed Stage 5, which is available on Google Classroom.

Vocabulary:

  • Define - Associate a descriptive name with a value.
  • Immutable - the value can't be changed during the execution of a program. Think about it this way: saying x = 50, and then x = x + 1 might make sense in Javascript, but it's impossible in Algebra.
  • Variable - A reference to a value or expression that can be used repeatedly throughout a program.


Stein - Math 8 Plus - 4.27.17

What We Did Today:

Students completed C and D from Problem 1.2 - In a Spin: Rotations. Students made generalizations regarding rotational symmetry.

Focus Question:

What does it mean to say that a figure has turn or rotation symmetry? How is each point related to its image under transformation by rotation?

Homework:

None.

All hours:  Open-note Waves quiz will be tomorrow, April 28.  The "Transverse and Longitudinal Waves" sheets and "Interference" paper are due Friday and are a great review for the quiz. 

Math 8 - Stone

Yesterday, we finished up our Say it with Symbols unit when we took our unit test. Today we started our final unit in the It's in the System book. In our first lesson, investigation 1.1, we found different values for caps and shirts in an equation to get the target goal of making $600 for a fund raiser. We also looked at comparing the fund raiser equation in two forms: standard form to slope-intercept form:

standard: 5x + 10y = 600

slope-intercept: y = -1/2x + 60

They may not look alike, but these are equivalent, linear equations!


Remember tomorrow is going to be a working day, you will have time to finish the homework, as well as, the homework questions from the book.

Math 8 - Stone

Today we spent a while reviewing the homework. Number 10 was pretty tough, but we found an easier way than guessing and checking to find the equation for a quadratic. We know that the equation for a quadratic is:

 

We found out that if you take half of the second difference from the table you get "a" in the equation and we reviewed that the "c" is the y-intercept. To find the "b" we take a point from the table and solve for the value of "b". This is a great new strategy to practice!

We spent the remainder of class doing a function sort (you can find it in the link below if you forgot it at school). You must finish it for homework. Remember every story has a matching equation and a matching graph. I look forward to seeing the finished product tomorrow.

Today, we used equations that were given to us to determine how much water in a pool was being pumped out per hour, how many gallons the pool held, and how many hours it would take to empty the pool. We discovered that the distributed form of the equation gave us the number of gallons in the pool and the amount being pumped out per hour. It also helped us to see the equation was linear. We noticed the equation before distributing gave us the number of hours it takes to empty the pool.
