Week of Dec. 15th

The week before Christmas Break, it is hard to believe one semester is almost over.  This week we will continue discussing the four parts of algebra that we have been learning about:  model, expression, t-chart, and graph.  What we know so far is, if given the model or the expression, we can evaluate a t-chart and graph the coordinates that the t-chart gives us.  This week we go the other way.  I will give the students the graph or the t-chart and they are to find the other missing parts.  We will do this lesson on Tuesday.  Monday we will be taking a Common Assessment over the Algebra that we have been studying

Here is a example of BBOA or the Building Blocks of Algebra.

Wednesday we will begin looking at the parts of BBOA using the Graphing Calculator.

Thursday and Friday we will be making icosahedrons as a Christmas Ornament project.  An icosahedron is a 20 faced polyhedron where each face is an equilateral triangle.

Students can bring Christmas cards if they would like to make their icosahedron or they will use the card stock they I have.

Friday, the students will be released at 1:00.  We will have a modified schedule that day.
