Norup 8th Grade

Friday, October 16, 2015

Geometry- Friday, October 16

Classwork: Began unit 2- Transformations by reviewing what students remember about functions, input, output, domain and range from algebra. We investigated the effects of different transformations on a triangle and used that to help define rigid motions (isometries).

Homework: Practice #1-15

Discussion Starters: Tests were returned, how did your student do? Do they think they should do a re-take next week Wednesday?

Science- Friday, October 16

Classwork: Students finished their notes today by taking our conversations regarding constant speed & acceleration and applying that to graphs. We will continue to work with graphs of motion next week which will conclude the unit.

Homework: None

Discussion Starters: How does the work we're currently doing with graphs relate to what students have been doing in 8th grade math?
