On your Agenda for Using Percents please cross out the "Installment Buying" assignment. We will cover this but it will not be an assignment that is required.
After we complete the final test questions we will start the next readiness test. Questions 1-16 are to be finished when you come to class on Tuesday, May 10th and we will cover in class and then turn in. There WILL be homework every night next week.
Today in class we did a sample of recording checking account activity and also reconciling our accounts. Using that information you will be completing Situation A in the "How to do Your Banking." This is due when you come to class on Tuesday, May 10th.
The students did great when there was a guest but covering the material today with me was a disappointment because some of the students are more worried about cracking jokes and being funny with each other than learning the material. As I told them in class this is an opportunity for them to learn some material to help them pass this test - wouldn't it be great if they passed before they even took Algebra 1?
Tomorrow's quiz will cover: integers, fraction, equivalent, percent, proportion, ratio, Formula for Pythagoream Therom, Is not equal to Today we worked on Checking Accounts - check out the lecture to figure out how to complete a deposit slip and fill out a check. Then homework is to use the check register and record our two transactions - the deposit and the check. You need to have a finished register when you come to class tomorrow.
In your Applied Math 2 today we had a special guest helping prep us for the Algebra 1 EOC assessment that students will be taking on May 25th. Mr. LaMunyan came in and went through the problems of our practice test. I think it really helped the students get a better understanding of what they will see, and hopefully they remember some of it.
The students did a great job of paying attention and working through problems - great JOB!!!! Items that will be in the AM2 quiz on Tuesday May 3rd, Angle, Coordinate Grid, Geometric Transformation, Difference, Sum, Ratio, Slide Transformation, Equation for Volume of a Rectangular Solid
Applied Math 1 students - read page 3-9 in your "How to do Your Banking" and then listen to the lecture on Setting Goals. Each student was given a sticky note to write down a SMART Goal and then post on the window. Their SMART Goal needs to be money related and then posted on the wall. If you were gone from class today, you can post your goal and I will copy it down and post.
The applied math 1 students are going to be starting the banking unit next week, we will be using the "How do to your Banking" booklets, and the students will be given daily assignments and will have a post requirement each day.
Applied Math 1 you need to complete #20 - 37
Applied Math 2 you need to finish the test We worked through #1 - 11 in class today and will continue working on them tomorrow. Reminder you need to attempt the problem I am not asking for the correct answer right now, but instead asking that you give an effort. |
