I can use quadratic regression to model real-world problems.

I can describe the process of using the TiNspire to find a quadratic model.

I can analyze a solution in the context of a real-world problem that it represents.

Agenda:

• Bellwork SLOT
• Quadratic Regression on the Nspire Directions and Embedded Example
• PRACTICE: Quadratic Regression Practice Problems
  • Due to the fact that the TiNspire is necessary to complete these problems and many students do not own their own, students will be given the opportunity to utilize some class time tomorrow or Friday to finish.

In addition to arriving to school early on Thursday and Friday mornings, I will be staying after school to give students the opportunity to retake any Unit Test before the end of the cardmarking. Please sign up with me in advance and let me know which Unit Test you plan to retake. You can find resources for review on previous blog posts related to the original exams. If you arrive after 6:30 am or 2:20 pm you will not be admitted to the retake. You will have 45 minutes to complete the retake assessment.

Today students took their Unit 2: Linear Systems Test. Students had the entirety of the hour to complete it. Afterwards students had the following assignment to help prepare them for one small portion of our quadratics unit that we begin tomorrow: Factoring/Simplifying Radicals Review

I can review solving and interpreting linear systems.

Agenda:

• Bellwork SLOT
• Review Guide Questions?
• Finish/Grade Scavenger Hunt Activity

Resources for your test preparation:

• Systems Review Packet
  • Systems Review Packet Key
• Stations Review Problems
  • Stations KEY

Khan Academy is due by 11:59pm…

If you have any issues while preparing for the test, please email me. I will be in a little early tomorrow before school for tutoring, and if you have A Lunch you may stop by for help as well.

I can review solving linear systems.

Agenda:

• Bellwork SLOT – Solving Using Quadratic Formula/Simplifying Radicals
• SLOT Quiz
• Brief Inequalities Review Notes
