1/19 Lesson 7.1.1 Distance, Speed, and Time

1.  Warm-up:  What is/are your goal(s) for the second semester as it relates to math?  Write your goal on the yellow strip of paper provided, and glue/tape it into to cover of your math notebook.

2.  Lesson 7.1.1

• Objective:  I will write an equation (rule) that compares distance, speed, and time.  I will use the equation to solve problems
• Problem #1 as class discussion
• Wind-up toy experiment
• Collect data
• Graph data
• Answer questions 7-2 c) through 7-5 in teams
• Class discussion of graphs, equations, and relation to y = mx + b

1/13 Unit 5 Test

After you have finished the test, turn it face down on your desk and:

• Try a logic puzzle from this website (click the link)
• Or a Calcudoku puzzle, also known as Ken-Ken (click the link)
• Read silently

1/12 Unit 5 Closure and Study Guide

1.  Review Team Test

2.  Unit 5 Closure and Study Guide

• Study guide is posted in Google Classroom
• Solve the problems indicated, then check/correct using the table at the end of the Closure section.
• Have you mastered the concept?
• Yes- you should be prepared for the test tomorrow
• No- read the Math Notes or try extra practice problems as indicated in the table.  Ask a friend for help or come see Mr. Robinett after school.

3.  Create a test question.  Details in Google Classroom

Unit 5 test tomorrow!

1/11 Unit 5 Team Test

Unit 5 Individual Test moved to Weds 1/13

Topics to study:

• Solving equations:
• For "x" using legal moves
• For "y" to change an equation into y = mx + b form
• For "x" with rational coefficients
• Patterns, graphs, tables and rules
• y = mx + b

 Finish Unit 5 Team Test

• Solve problems on your own paper
• Please make your work neat and legible
• Problems a) through e) on page 218
• Skip problem c) at first
• Go back to it if you have time for extra credit

No homework tonight.  There is a study guide posted in Google Classroom.  We will work on it tomorrow in class, but you may get a head start on it tonight if you wish.
