November

=November 15, 2011. Objectives:= =A. Write a linear equation with a given point and slope or two points. Write a linear equation parallel or perpendicular to a given line.=

=B. Preview the incenter and curcumcenter of a circle.=

=1. Today you will try out a mathematical game website called Mangahigh. Mangahigh has games for students from k - 12. When you play the games you are practicing skills you should know or skills we are just learning. Today's challenge is on linear functions. You can use scratch paper on the side to figure out slopes and equations if needed.= =[|Mangahigh]: use the user id and password I have given you please. I will be able to tell how long you played the game.=

=2. Take/retake the quiz from last week. If you have not yet joined our class, then go back to Oct 25 and 26 (link on the left). You took the quiz last week you will keep the highest of the two scores.= =Linear Equations Quiz=

=3. Begin to study about the Circumcenter and Incenter of a triangle. We will begin this unit tomorrow.= =[|Circumcenter]=

=[|Incenter]=

=Do some google research on your own on these two words. If you find a good resource that you would like to share, then send it to me: sheredwa@gmail.com= =What do you notice about each one of these important points in a triangle when the triangle is acute, obtuse, or right? Send me an email at sheredwa@gmail.com=

=November 9, 2011=

=Objective: Review and Study Graphing parallel and perpendicular lines and lines through two point or a point and a slope. Take a quiz on this objective.= =1. Relax and focus by playing these three mathematical games that are designed to help you focus. Aproximate time: 15 minutes= =‍[|EYE BALL]= =THE PUSHY GAME!= =SHAPES (then do the alphabet game, the link is on the page)=

=[|BILLY BUG!]this is too easy for you, but it is fun and the sounds are cool.=

=2. Use these websites to study writing an equation for a line using point and slope form. ( Approximate time: 40 minutes)= =ALGEBRA LAB take notes and work the practice problems on your own before looking at the answer.=

=COOL MATH SLOPE=

=The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives read the side bar carefully, if you have a question then raise your hand.=

=3. The quiz Time: 25 minutes. Take your time and answer each question to the best of your ability. Use your notebook for scratchwork. You will not be able to go backwards once you have submited an answer.=

=Linear Equations Quiz=

=If you have time, please go to the OGT practice site and review your results from last weeks practice test, dont forget you have to learn how to do all those problems.=

=Extra Time???? Look at what's coming next week: Study ahead!!!=

=November 1, 2011= =1. Please Click on the below link to go to the OGT Practice Website. This test will serve as a pretest for part your final exam this quarter. Earlier this year, you created an account at this website, please log in and enter the following ID number so that your results will be entered into my records.= =976297963-27= =LINK TO OGT PRACTICE TEST=

=2. Begin to explore and review lines in the coordinate plane. Our focus will be parallel and perpendicular lines in the coordinate plane. Study the following and take notes in your notebook.=

Line relationships
 * Slope (m) of a line
 * Intercept (b) of a line
 * Equation of a line (Slope-Intercept form)
 * Equation of a line (Point-Slope form )
 * Vertical line
 * Horizontal line
 * [|Parallel lines]
 * Perpendicular lines
 * Intersecting lines

=Homework: Green Geometry Book Read 182 to 185. Do problems 1-13 starting on page 185. Due on Thursday.=
