IMP 100
Generally students are going very well in this class. There are a few students, however, who have not turned majority of their assignments. I will be giving advisors lists of these students later in the day.
Current HW consists of "one step" or "two step" equations. Each student is responsible for completing a total of 30 equations by next class. If a student completes 60 they will receive bonus credit for their work. The assignment HW10/"Back to the Lake" was not turned in by majority of the class.
IMP 200
Without an exception all of this class has turned in majority of assignments. Great job! There are 2 assignments due next class "completing the square" and "the completing the square" I should probably work on naming by worksheets differently. There will be quiz early next week on factoring/distribution and completing the square. Students will be able to pass all or part of this quiz.
Geometry 200
The current assignments in this class are 1.2 (1,5,7-10, 15-19, 24, 25, 30-38) and 1.3 (1-31 odd) Next Wednesday there will be a quiz on chapters up to 1.4.
Pre-Calculus
The linear packet is due next Tuesday along with page 118-122 1-19odd, 71, 73, 77 from the big pre-calculus book. The problems 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 are currently past due.
Math and Art
The students' 2 point perspective drawings are due at the end of next class.

9/21/10 Week 2
I have been pleasantly surprised by all of my classes so far. So thank you students and families for getting us off to a good start. This week there will be quizzes in IMP 100, IMP 200 and Pre-Calculus. If a student does not show mastery with the quiz they will be encouraged to retake the quiz in a few weeks. Hopefully this will decrease any anxiety students are experiencing while still holding them accountable to the material.
IMP 100:
HW 2, HW 3, and HW 6 are past due. HW 8 is due tomorrow, many students have already turned it in. We will have a quiz on Thursday on: graphing, order of operations and substitution and evaluation. Students can show mastery of all three topics or any combination. On Tuesdays and Thursdays smaller groups will form to better meet individual's needs.
IMP 200:
"patio," and HW 29 are past due. Tomorrow all students are suppose to come to class with a graph of two points and their slopes determined. There will be quiz on linear equations on Thursday.
Geometry 200:
Chapter 0.1 (#3, 4, 5, 7, 8), Chapter 0.3 (#1-7) are past due. Chapter 1.1 (1-31 odd) is due tomorrow.
Pre-Calculus:
At this point little in the way of homework is being formally collect from the students. So far everyone is living up to the expectations of the class. I will be collecting page 4 from the packet "Function function whats your junction" Thursday. Also on Thursday there will be quiz on set notation, and functions, anything covered in class or from the homework is fair game.
Math and Art:
The first graded assignment is due in three class periods. In class a rubric was handed out defining the expectations. The topic is two point perspective.

Welcome Back 9/13
Welcome back to another year of math. For those of you new to following this blog let me explain what can be found here. Generally, I will give weekly or bi-weekly reports for each of my math classes. This consists of homework that has been previously assigned and currently assigned. Occasionally there will be announcements regarding projects, tests and class progress.
So far in each class every student has received a syllabus and there have been assignments in IMP 100, and Geometry. IMP 100 should be turning in HW 2 tomorrow and Geometry should be turning in work from page 4(#s 3,5,6,8 and 9.) IMP 200 is beginning with a short group activity that will be presented tomorrow.
Pre-Calculus and Math+Art meet for the first time tomorrow.

Closing Classes
In majority of my classes portfolios are due. Please help your students organize and get this last thing into me. There will be no new assignments in my classes only time to get caught up on past quizzes, projects and homework. Students will have bonus work available to them.
I will be collecting geometry books from students starting tomorrow. If you student has lost their book they will be responsible for the replacement.
In Statistics we are still working on presenting the bullying data, to the school. Students should be prepared to finish that work this week.
In advising this week we will be making plans for that last week of classes. I hope to have a field-day with them on Monday and on Tuesday a field trip.

May 17th
IMP 100: We are currently doing a work sample in class right now. We just finished POW 8 and work with perpendicular lines. The students are continuing to struggle with the idea of slope and how to represent it in situations.
Past HW: Review of Slope, perpendicular lines, Distance Rate, tri-rugs
IMP 200: We just took a test on trigonometric transformations. This week we will be working on the law of sines.
Past HW: Solving with Cosine, 6.5, SOHCAHTOA, Trig Transformations
Geometry: Tomorrow we will be having a test on chapter 6. The review of chapter 6 is also due that same day.
Past HW: 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, circle packet, ch 6 review.
Stastics: We started hypothesis testing and will return to that shortly after we analyse date collected from a bullying survey done at school.
Past HW: Hyp testing
Experimental Math: Pencil Cannons lab was due last week, in which we covered horizontal velocity of a projectile only knowing the height and distance. We then started a lab on instantaneous velocity and vectors using a police laser gun and the Max. This lab will be due on Thursday.
Advising: We have service this Friday at the shelter. Friday is senior project night. Camp out is next week.
