Assignments and Information for the week of 3/17/08

Welcome to the 5th marking period!!!

This is a critical piece of the semester as we will revisit the important concept of Linearity. Linear relationships and functions are the foundation of Algebra, which is where you begin your high school math courses. Over the next three to four weeks our goal is to have every student be able to construct graphs, tables and equations for Linear relationships. Further every student will able to use one of these models to construct the others.

We begin with rates, more specifically constant rates. As we did the end of last marking period we will look at the given data and be able to determine other non-given data.

Please remember to submit all assignments timely to ensure the highest level of credit.
