Week of 4/27/20

This week in Algebra 1… April 27, 2020

This week we will wrap up our laws of exponents in Edmentum and soft launch into our next unit, OPERATIONS ON POLYNOMIALS with some Edmentum and Desmos activities.

We will continue to post a HYPERDOC each Monday on Google Classroom with a weekly agenda to guide you through a specific module in Edmentum and Desmos.

The April 27th hyperdoc can be found here:

Week of April 27th Hyperdoc

We have broken down the modules into daily lessons. If you prefer to keep an A/B schedule you may complete two lessons in one day. We have simply a suggested daily pacing guide to help you work through the modules in a timely, manageable manner.

After each module you complete, we may ask you to complete an exit ticket in the form of a Google Form. These are linked in your hyperdoc and these exit tickets, along with the Desmos activities, are how we are tracking engagement.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your teacher. Our office hours are located here, in Google Classroom, under the ‘Classwork’ tab, under the ‘Office Hours’ topic. Outside of these hours, we will do our best to respond to emails within 24 hours.

THIS WEEK:

  • Monday (4/27)  - Properties of Exponents Practice on Edmentum. Google Meet at 10:40 (optional).
  • Tuesday (4/28) - Properties of Exponents Mastery Test on Edmentum.
  • Wednesday (4/29) - Intro to Polynomials on Edmentum.
  • Thursday (4/30) - Intro to Polynomials on Desmos.
  • Friday (5/1) - Intro to Adding Polynomials on Edmentum.

Week 14 1920

This short week we will work on building pet houses in Desmos! This is a 100 point summative assignment, and serves as the “quiz checkpoint” for the Graphing Equations unit. This project is due at the end of class on December 2 (B) and December 3 (A). (You will have plenty of in-class time to work on it; no need to work on it over the break!!) →PLEASE BRING A CHARGED CHROMEBOOK.←  Project Requirements: I created at least 4 vertical line segments using restrictions on the range and wrote the equations and slopes of the lines.  I created at least 4 horizontal line segments using restrictions on the domain and wrote the equations and slopes of the lines.  I created at least 2 slanted line segments using the parent function and restrictions on the domain and/or range and wrote the equations and slopes of the lines.  I have provided the domain and range of all 10 lines, in interval notation.  I added the image of my pet in the doorway of the house.  I peer reviewed another stude

Writing the Equation of a Line Given Two Points: An Experiment.

Background: I teach Algebra 1… in high school. In the state of Virginia. In the state of Virginia, in order to graduate high school you must pass ONE math SOL (end of year test). Some of the students who come to me have never passed a math SOL in their entire educational career. I am challenged with reaching the most vulnerable learners - they are neurodiverse, linguistically diverse, racially diverse, and economically diverse. They struggle with maturity and many have internalized that they “aren’t good at math.” But these kids deserve to be successful in math… and they deserve quality instruction in mathematics. Because of my students’ high stakes for this end of year test, my lessons ALL start with a standard (because, after all, if they don’t know these by the end of the year, they may not graduate high school). Today’s standard was A.6b - The student will.... b) write the equation of a line when given the graph of the line, two points on the line , or the slope and a point on th
