Science-Wilcox-Wednesday

We reviewed our DS quiz and notes. Students were given time to finish Ohm's law and review questions in class.

Math 8 - Stone

Tuesday:

We completed investigation 4.2. We worked with quadratic equations studying tables, finding the line of symmetry, etc. We talked about another method for finding the line of symmetry from the equation: x=-b/2a. You get the a and b from the coefficients in the equation.
