Assignments and Information for the week of 5/26/08

Our work on the Pythagorean Theorem has gone very well, so of course that means I need to give you a QUIZ. We will have a review day prior so get your folder in order. After our quiz we will start working on Area, Volume and Perimeter. To start we will look at Rectangles, Triangle and Circles and create the formulas we will need to find answers to our questions. At the end of this unit we will be able to see the connection between area and volume of similar shapes. Should be a great (and short) week.

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

Assignments and Information for the week of 5/19/08

After another test day we take our knowledge of Linear Relationships and by the end of the week use this knowledge to revisit the Pythagorean Theorem. Prior to that will go over the concepts of Squares and Square Roots. Our discussion of Squares will center on area, and will involve the squares right under your feet. Rational or Irrational will be our big question for Square Roots. Once we got that down our trip to ancient Greece for our visit with Pythagoras should end being more fun than work.

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

Assignments and Information for the week of 5/12/08

This week we will complete our investigations of Linear Relationships. Graphs, Tables and Equations have given us many ways to compare, contrast, and evaluate the Linear situations we have encountered. Of course that means it is time for a test. We will spend at least one day reviewing as well organizing our notes, so that everyone will have the best opportunity to be successful. This week requires your best effort.

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