CST Cheat Sheet

I have made a CST Cheat sheet. You cannot take this into the test with you, but there is no rule about memorizing this basic sheet, and then copying it down on your test booklet when you get it.

The CST Cheat Sheet

Tuesday

Today there is no homework. We finished everything in class. I am working on creating a cheat sheet you can look at and copy before you take the test. If you are interested come to tutoring after school and we will work on it.

Monday

Homework for today is to finish the six graphs and their reflections. Make whatever you want. It has to look different every time you reflect it.

The grades that are up are the current grades for the semester. Some of you have improved thanks to the parent conferences. Keep up the good work, we only have about 10 weeks to go.

If you attend tutoring I will show you how to make your own cheat sheet for the state test in two weeks.

Me Gone

I have been gone the last three days because my son is sick. Use this time to catch up on doing extra credit so that when I come back we can continue doing our review for the CST. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow (Thursday). Sorry for there being no tutoring. If I am back on Thursday, we can have tutoring then.

Grades

The grades will be put up on Monday, because I will be out of town and I have not finished grading the tests yet. I would like to thank periods 4 and 6 for the HUGE improvement over the past week. There were 5 people who raised their grades from an F to a D just in those two classes. I encourage you to do the extra credit. If you do all 8 it is 40 extra credit points.

Homework and Tomorrows Test

DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR:
HOMEWORK
HOMEWORK TRACKING SHEET
NOTEBOOK TRACKING SHEET
WARM-UP AND NOTES
PENCIL

The homework for tonight you are trying to solve the absolute values

|x-4|=5. You solve two equations. x-4=5, and x-4 = -5. You're two solutions are x=9, and x=-1.

Do not forget to bring everything tomorrow, even though it is a free dress day.

We take a quiz and that is all.

Wednesday

A couple of things before tonight.

1) equations like y=3, are straight lines to the side.

2) y=x+3, if there is nothing in front of the x, the slope is 1/1

Do your best to graph the equations, tomorrow we are going to review absolute value, |-3| = 3, and all that. The test on Friday will be on graphing equations, finding slope, and absolute value.

Homework Graphs

Here is the list of equations.

Friday, the Quiz, and the grades

Grades are up and current for today, 4/11/2008. If you look at the far column on the grade sheet, you will see your score on the test. The score is out of a possible 7 points. Here is the break-down;

A = 7
B = 6
C = 5
D = 4
F < 4

The answers to the multiple choice questions on the backside of the test were all "B".

Graphing

Today you have to finish the ten graphs. For #9, the graph is the opposite

x | y
1 | -1
2 | -2
3 | -3
4 | -4
5 | -5


For #10
y=-2x -4
x | y
0 | -4
1 | -6
2 | -8
3 | -10
4 | -12

Graph em and be done with the problems. if you need more graph paper, click here.

Im back

OK, so it has been a while since I posted anything. I apologize and am sorry. The homework for today is solving the equations.

Points are always listed as (x, y). The first number is x, the second number is y. Substitute into the equations and see if the equation makes sense. If it does, good, the point is an answer. If it doesn't, then the point is not an answer.

For #6
You have to do the x² first. then, multiply by two, then add 3. Now is this number equal to y?


The grades are current now, and these will be the grades listed on your report cards for the 10 week grading period.

Homework for Tuesday

Homework is to finish the slope page you got today in class. The grades are current for this week, you can check on the side. If you have not turned in your work, it will show by blank spots under tracking sheet 24 and notebook tracking sheet 24.
