6th Hour:

No bellwork today.  Students took the Chapter 3 Test today.  After the test students had a Classwork sheet to complete.  This classwork gave students practice on graphing Quadratic and Absolute Value Functions by using a table.  They were given x-values to substitute into the equation in order to find the corresponding y-value.  Once the table was completed the students are to plot the points and then connect them in order to create the graph.

This Classwork is due tomorrow.
