Algebra 1 Spring Semester

Week 15-16 HW for January 23/24 & 30/31

Upcoming Tests and Quizzes

Week 15 - Multiplication Quiz

Week 16 - Multiplication Quiz & Chapter 3 Test, cumulative 1-2

Week 15 HW— January 23/24

New Semester

All answers and support videos are posted. See resource page.

Concepts: Volume usually is a version of Base area x height. Volume of cylinders and triangular prisms. Direct variation y=kx, k is contant of variation. What is a function? Deepening understanding of factoring GCFs out of monomials, special cases (difference of squares and perfect square trinomials).

Smart Studying

Work your multiplication mastery plan. Get your parent’s signature verifying you studied multiplication facts for 10 minutes every day 5 days a week. 6th day is a bonus point.

GREENIE CLASSWORK… we start this in class. Finish at home

(This is Math 8 for those of you who are going to integrated math programs in HS. For everyone else it is review as well as a preview of some geometry.)

  • Are the following pages complete? Answers to Greenie work are on a button above “Greene Answer Keys”

    • NEW page 34 Measurement and Geometry: Volume of Triangular Prisms, Cylinders #1, 2 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12

    • NEW Page 10 Graphs and Functions - Using a Table to graph a function and Determining if a relation is a function

    • REVIEW Page 11 Graphs and Functions - Equations, Tables and Graphs (What kind of variation are these functions? Are they straight lines which pass through the origin? What’s the name of that kind of variation? Hint: y=kx)

PREVIEW Factoring regular trinomials

Look at your diamond pattern game. Here’s another one. Teach a family member how to do this. Explain the rule to a family member.

Watch and take notes on factoring trinomials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP1-EbzArHs

NOW: connect the diamond pattern game to that video. What is similar?

Week 16 HW— January 30/31 New Semester

Tuesday 1/30 is our math stay late party form 12:30 to 1:30!!

Wednesday Chp 3 Test and cumulative chp 1-2

Concepts:

Smart Studying

  • Work your multiplication mastery plan. Some of you may be ready to move onto the 11s & 12s. Get your parent’s signature verifying you studied multiplication facts for 10 minutes every day 5 days a week. 6th day is a bonus point.

  • Review your class notes, KIN, and any video notes. As you review your notes ANNOTATE them. Make drawings and add notes to help you remember and understand.
