Today’s Class: Tuesday 10/23

We started chapter 2:

  • Bellwork: Students had to read p158-159
  • Then students worked as a group to complete a FRAYER MODEL about polynomials: definition, examples, non examples and facts.
  • I am posting the FRAYER model that we created as a class from groups ideas
  • Make sure you copy it in your notes section. Start a new page and title it chapter 2 section 2.1.
  • Homework p169#1-6, 7-12. A hint will be added to this post, read it so you can know how to do your homework.
  • 2.1 Homework Hint p169#7-12
  • Frayer Model_Definition of Polynomials

Chapter 1 Test Make-up

Due to excessive absence today during chapter 1 test (over 30 absences), the following are the rules for test make up and absences during future tests:

  1. There will be a ONE day make up which is tomorrow Tuesday 10/23. Make up will be during C lunch, 6th hour, or after school you could choose.
  2. There are absolutely ZERO excuses tolerated. If you work, talk to your boss. If you have any other excuse, find a way to be in my class C lunch, 6th hour or after school.
  3. In the future, if I notice a pattern in the absences (absent every quiz or every test), I will contact your counselor and your parents and you will receive a zero.

Today’s Class: Monday 10/22 (Chapter 1 Test)

  • Students took chapter 1 Test. We have been working on chapter one for almost 5 weeks.
  • Test was NOT multiple choice
  • Calculator was allowed ONLY the last 10 min as a way to check your work because most of this chapter test objective are no calculator on the SAT
  • I was very disappointed for having over 30 absences in my hours when we spent 2 extra weeks on the chapter than other classes
  • For Make up, check the next post
  • Tomorrow we will be reviewing special cases and we will start chapter 2 as well.
