09/28/2014 - Integers Update

All classes will have a quiz on integers tomorrow.  The quiz will cover absolute value, opposites, ordering integers, and graphing integers on a number line.

General Math
Today we practiced solving real-world problems using integers with pair partners.  Most classes were able to finish the practice and discuss the solutions prior to the end of class.  The only exception was 4th period.  Most students finished but not all...so tonight the homework for 4th period is to finish that practice.

I wanted to give you a heads up that next week we will be doing an integer timeline project.  Details about the project will be given to the students next week.  The students will need a posterboard for this project.  The students will have time in class to work on the project.

The students were given the opportunity to take their short answer and extended response answer home to re-do prior to receiving a score for the Unit 1 Test.  The students were warned that they HAD to return it in order to receive any credit.  I have several students that have not returned their responses even after reminders. Once I have entered all scores for those I have received  I will be entering zeros and marking these as missing.

Accelerated Math
Today we started on adding integers.  We added notes to the Integer Operations foldable.  We also started practicing adding integers with the same sign and integers with different signs.  The homework for today was three real world word problems.  Tomorrow after the quiz we will be continuing to practice on adding and subtracting integers.  

As we continue to work on integer operations the students will be assigned an "Integer Tic-Tac-Toe Project".  The students will select one of the nine projects to complete.  The details and project options will be given to the students next week.
