Friday 10/9

And just like that, the first quarter of the school year is complete! Report cards will be carried home next Friday.

But first . . . the last MATHia grading period of this quarter ends tonight at midnight. Have you met your goals yet?

Thursday HW Solutions: Student Assignments workbook 3.3 answer key

Here is this week's extra credit:

Thursday 10/8

Today we tackled Lesson 3.3, which focused our attention on finding the rate of change and unit rate from a context.

We learned that there's not a set formula or method to solving these - it's all about thinking critically, evaluating what you'd need to know to answer the question, and using the clues given to determine the rate.

Homework: Student Assignments workbook 3.3

Wednesday HW Solutions: Student Assignments workbook 3.2 answer key

Wednesday 10/7

We finished our look at rates of change from a table today with the last part of Lesson 3.2. The focus today was on tables that may or may not represent linear functions, and what it takes to tell the difference.

Homework: Student Assignments workbook 3.2

Tuesday 10/6

Today we continued our look at finding the rate of change and unit rate from a table with Lesson 3.2. We're now proficient with both informal and formal methods.

Homework: Finish textbook pages 148-149

Monday 10/5

We spent today working in MATHia. The current MATHia grading period will close on Friday. Are you on track to meet your goals?

Homework: MATHia practice

Friday 10/2

Great job this week, everyone!

Here is this week's extra credit, with a twist:

Write two example equations, one that represents a quadratic function and one that represents a cubic function (be sure to tell which is which). Post your equations to The Honors Community as either text, a picture, or a video. Be creative! Impress us!

Here's the catch: your examples must be different from the ones posted by other students. No repeats.

Thursday 10/1

Today we learned how to find the rate of change from a table with Lesson 3.2. We learned both an informal method (arrows) and a formal method (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Be sure to practice the formal method on your homework tonight, as it's a more powerful way to determine a correct answer without error!
