Week of 5/4/20

This week in Algebra 1… May 4, 2020

This week we will continue OPERATIONS ON POLYNOMIALS. Monday and Tuesday have been designated as catch up days for students who are now joining continuity of education for the first time.

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, scaffolded with videos and Desmos activities.

The May 4th hyperdoc can be found here:

Week of May 4th Hyperdoc.

We have broken down the modules into A/B lessons. If you prefer to keep a daily schedule you may break the FIRST/THEN boxes into two days. We have simply a suggested daily pacing guide to help you work through the modules in a timely, manageable manner.

At the end of each week, we will ask you to complete an exit ticket in the form of a Google Form. These are linked in your hyperdoc. The exit tickets will give us feedback on the amount of work we are assigning and will inform the discussion in our Monday synchronous Google Meet sessions.

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 (5/4)* and Tuesday (5/5) - Catch up days.
    • Google Meet Mondays at 10:40 (optional)
  • Friday (5/1) and Monday (5/6)  - Adding polynomials tutorial. 
  • Thursday (5/7) and Friday (5/8) - Subtracting polynomials tutorial.
*Meet link will appear on the RVH Algebra 1 CLT - Continuity of Education Google Classroom header (below the class code) shortly before 10:40 am on Monday and will disappear shortly after 11:00 am. These meetings are optional, and just an opportunity for you to get questions answered if needed. All Algebra 1 students from Riverside will share a common Meet.

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
