Week Of Code

This week, we are doing the week of code.  Our website of choice is CodeCombat.com.

We made user names and signed in class.  You can play at home.  By the end of the week, you need to have finished the entire set of dungeon levels.

Friday 12/4 Systems Homework

Here are the five equations due Monday for systems of equations.

Real Test Answers

Practice Test Answers

Thank you Ashley!!! In order

1: D
2: BCD  (See the note on #6)
3: BC
4: C
5: ACD
6: BCE  (Equations that ARE NOT functions have square roots in them.  If y is to the power of 2, then you have to take the square root to solve it, which makes it not a function.  Remember the graphing packet,  all the functions that were not functions were square root problems)
7: A
8: BD
9: A (square roots only make numbers >= to 0)
10: -3
11: D
12: C
13: C
14: B
15: A
16: A
17: A
18: ACD
19: C
20: D
21: C
22: D

Friday 11/6

Int 1:
You have to solve two problems, using the compound interest equations:

A = P(1 + ^r⁄_n )<sup>nt

Where:
P = Principal (starting amount)
r = interest rate in decimal
n = # compounding per year
t = time in years</sup>

First question: You max out your credit card spending $1200.  If you have an interest rate of 19%, and do not pay anything, how much will you owe after 6 months?


Second Question.  You won $2,000,000 in the lottery.  You have to decide where to put your money.  Wells Fargo gives you 2% compounded monthly where as Chase gives you 3% compounded every two months.  Where should you go if you expect to keep your money there for 5 years?

Thursday 11/5

Homework for Int 1, do #1-3.  Click on it if you need it bigger.

Wednesday 11/4

Int 1: Do # 1-8 on on page 434.  If you need access, go here: successnetplus.com
Most of you, the user name and password is the same as your school computer.  Or, just look below.  If you click on them, they get pretty big.

Wednesday Survey

Mathematics Satisfaction Survey

Click HERE to take the math survey.  There is no name, so answer as honestly as you can.  This is not for individuals, but to look at what everyone AS A GROUP says about study skills, and what they like and do not like about math in general.

Monday 10/19

Skills - we started our integers unit


Int 1 - Finish the graphs.  If you cannot use the slope and y-intercept, make a table.

Those who finished last week, answer me these three questions:
1) What are the three basic shapes of all the graphs?
2) What are the identifying parts of those equations?
3) What equations make other shapes? (Use the internet is stuck)

The Giver

The text for The Giver, for those of you who do not have the textbook at home.  It is a PDF file.

Wednesdays Assignments

Int 1: Watch the two videos below.  They add to the notes from last time.  Do the worksheet, if you have extra time, go to mangahigh.com and try to get a high score on the game I included with the link.  You have to login first, then come back here to use the link otherwise it says it is blocked.

MangaHigh Algebra Functions

Monday 10/12

Int 1 - we did a notebook quiz.  If you were absent, see me to take the quiz.

Study - We are moving beyond addition to multiplication and division, making sure you memorize the answers, not sit and calculate them.

Adv Math and Study Skills

Monday: The POW was due. If you did not turn it in, please do so. Better to have a late score than no score at all.

Tuesday: Skills worked on a art project to memorize a single fact that is tough to remember.  Wednesday we will finish it and work on multiplying with Mangahigh.com

Wednesday: Int 1 took a test on equations.  Hopefully they will be graded by tomorrow.

If you have not turned in a POW, please do so as soon as possible.  I am stalling on the grades so I can give everyone a chance, because these grades REALLY affect your overall percents.

Monday/Tuesday

Int 1 Math: You turned in the assignments from the past week, Magic math, section 1.3 questions, and section 1.4 questions. The last two things are from the website. Skills: We found all possible sums of single digit numbers, serving our goal of memorizing the addition tables. We also played a new game at www.mathplayground.com/logic_sum/points.html. 3D Design: We are working on understanding the 3D printers, blueprints, and more to make our first thing the Nameplate. Remember you have to finish the articles and answer the questions and pass the safety test before you can print.

Advanced Math Thursday Friday Assignments

Watch the videos below.  Make sure you write down everything I write down, mostly.  Then try the poroblem sets.  Do the problems on seperate sheets of paper, and SHOW ALL YOUR WORK.  Not every answer works out to be a whole number.  If it is not a whole number, leave it as a fraction please.  If you finish these before the end of Friday, you can go on mangahigh.com and try the teacher challenge.  If you forgot your password, they are in a blue packet on the computer cart.

These are YouTube videos, and according to the new SDUSD policy, they should not be blocked.  If they are, please click the link under the notes titles..
