Absent - Darrien, Joaquin (LTI)
ORGANIZE your binders!!!
The four sections should be

*Please put in chronological order
5/31/13
(Absent - Bryant, Chris (1/2)
NECAP test
*once completed, start organizing your binder and make up work
5/24/13
(Absent -?)
We played a competitive game asking questions we might see on the NECAP ... this brought up a lot of good questions! I'm really proud of how much more you guys are working on the problems and NOT giving up!!
Here are some testing tips that came up:
1. Take each problem 1 piece at a time (It can feel really overwhelming when it's a multiple question problem)
2. Write down ALL work! - You get credit ... even if the answer is missing or wrong!
3. Remember PEMDAS (parentheses, exponent, multiply, divide, add, subtract) - many problems will require you to do it int he right order.
4. Ask questions now!!!! If you don't understand something - ASK! Most likely someone else has that question. If there isn't time in QR class, the QR team will make time to support your work.

(Absent - Carmarie, Joaquin (LTI))
Students who did not complete their poster and presentation had time to work on that and presented:
Anthony, Ginalys and Darrien presented their "roof problem"
Yasin and Emily presented their "Marco/Polo saving" problem's
We got into quite the debate around square root ... that's awesome and hopefully helps some of you remember why we square root (What times what equals what equals the number you are square rooting?)
Students who completed their presentations started"Triangles are everywhere" packet
GREAT WORK TODAY!!!
5/17/13
No School for you - PD day

Do Now: Find the Missing Side
* Margaret had four triangles drawn on the board. Each with a missing side length
1. Side 1 - 3, Side 2 - 4, Side 3 - ?
2. Side 1 - 12, Side 2 - 16, Side 3 - ?
3. Side 1 - 10, Side 2 - 8, Side 3 -?
4. Side 1 - 15, Side 2 - 12, Side 3 - ?
*** Remember ... that the side across from the right angle is always C squared
*** Remember ... SQUARE ROOT
Example: 5 is the square root of 25
Activity: "Real World Pythagorean Theory Questions"
Bryant, Dasia and Jennifer presented their "Walk in the park" problem
Chris, Angel and Sarai presented their "Corner of a bench" problem
Can't wait to see Ginalys, Darrien and Anthony's problem and Yasin and Erick's problem
5/10/13
(Absent - Darrien)
Do Now: Find your frayer model poster (4 square model poster)
Present posters!!!
Watch - The Pythagorean Theorem Video (See Margaret) and fill out 1-2-3 sheet
Pythagorean Theory - A squared + B squared = C squared
* C is always the hypotenuse of a right triangle
Activity: Become an expert - Find the patterns and apply the rule
5/6/13
Do Now: Divide each note card into three sections: Sometimes, Always, Never and give examples for a triangle.
Notes - Triangle
Sometimes:
- Have 90 degree angles (right angle)
- Same length sides
- Equal angle measurements
- Some are tall, skinny, short
- Have obtuse angles
Always:
- Have 3 sides
- At least 2 acute angles
- Has a base
- 3 angles
Never
- More or less than 3 sides
- parallel lines
Activity to Complete: "Is it a triangle" worksheet
** Use Triangle cheat sheet with terms like: Equilateral Triangle (all sides equal), Isosceles Triangle (rwo sides equal), Scalene Triangle (no sides equal), Congruent (equal), Acute Triangle(all angles less than 90 degrees), Equiangular or Equilateral Triangle (all angles equal 60 degrees), Obtuse Triangle (one angle is greater than 90 degrees), and Right Triangle ( one angle is 90 degrees)
Activity to Complete: Four square definition sheet for Equilateral Triangle, Isosceles Triangle, and Scalene Triangle (Definition, Example, Non Example and Notes)
5/3/13
4/29/13
First we presented the Geometric Art pieces ... please hnd in in next class if you did not have completed or you were not in class to complete.
Next we played a vocab game -
Diameter
Radius
Perpendicular lines
Ray
Line Segment
Straight Angle
Acute Angle
Obtuse Angle
Right Angle
Perimeter
Parallel Lines
Intersecting Lines
4/26/13
We simply worked on the final drafts of out geometric art
4/22/13
No class - Margaret absent - please make up any missed work
4/12/13
Please complete the Scavenger Hunt of geometric spaces - including adding definitions
We also started Geometric Art - please see the guidelines and create your piece - final drafts of it will be completed after vacation.
4/8/13
We are starting geometry unit!!!!!
1. Do now - create a square using all seven shapes
2. Fortunes Tellers and Tangrams - If you were out, the assignment is in the "corrected work" bin
**** This is a new unit so please plan on seeing Margaret to make up assignment
Notes:
Properties of a SQUARE:
- 4 equal sides
- 4 corners
- 4 right angles (90 degrees)
Properties of a TRIANGLE:
- 3 sides
- 2 equal sides (because right angle from the square shape)
- 1 Right angle and 2 acute angles (from the square shape)
- The 2 acute angles will be 45 degrees because it is 1/2 of your 90 degree angle from the square shape
3. Wrap up and reflect
4/5/13
We took a practice NECAP test - not a lot of fun, but helps us understand what to expect!
We also passed in our COMPLETED Recycle Center (Thru #9)
4/1/13
We made colorful copies of our SMART GOALS and posted them on the wall!!
We went over out DOMAIN, RANGE, and FUNCTION definitions - see a peer's sheet to make sure you understand and have all the information.
Then we played a cool, competitive game on these concepts :)
HOMEWORK: Make sure #7,8,9 are complete on the RECYCLE CENTER problem!!!

We have started QR!!!
Through out the year we will be completing Khan Academy - at our own paces and at our own levels. QR Class with Courtney will start 2nd trimester (After NECAP).
This week we started a "review" problem - using the skills we used last year ...
Here is the cupcake problem and the "Understanding the problem" sheet that we fill out for every problem we complete.
Cupcake Fun!
Dianny is organizing a bake sale at Peace Street
Linsey’s Advisory: The first dozen (12) cupcakes cost a flat fee
of $10, then each additional cupcake costs $0.50.
Alicia’s Advisory:
Cupcakes cost $1.00 each, but you get a free dozen (12) cupcakes with your
order!
1.
Gamble and Mr. Eddie want to treat
their advisories to cupcakes. How much
would it cost to order 15 cupcakes
from Linsey’s advisory? Alicia’s
Advisory? Show or explain how you found your answer.
2.
Meg and Kim want to treat the seniors
and their support staff to cupcakes. How
much would it cost to order 35 cupcakes
from Linsey’s advisory? Alicia’s Advisory? Show or explain how you found your answer.
3.
Cupcakes for everyone! Brandee wants to know how much it would it
cost to order 100 cupcakes from
Linsey’s advisory? Alicia’s
advisory? Show or explain how you found
your answer?
4.
Draw a graph that represents the total cost for Linsey’s Advisory and
Alicia’s Advisory on the same axes. Be sure
to include the point where the two advisories are the same price, if ever.
a.
Label the slope of each line and tell what it means in the context of this
problem.
b.
Label the y-intercept of each line and tell what it means in the context of
this problem.
5.
For what number of cupcakes is Linsey’s
Advisory cheaper? More expensive? Are
the two advisories ever the same price?
Tell how you found out.
6.
Brandee is on a tight budget, but if
she had $100 to spend on cupcakes, which advisory should she choose, and why?
7.
Give Brandee some advice! Write a letter to Brandee advising her as to
which advisory she should support and why.
Use all parts of the Rule of 4 to support your recommendation!
8.
BONUS: Write a rule that tells how to find the total cost for any number of
cupcakes (after the first dozen) for
each company. Tell why your rules work.
