Assignments and Information for the week of 11/03/08

This week we convert the Growth Factors we have been working with into Growth Rates. We will continue our new adventure in Growing, Growing, Growing. Over the past week we looked at the structure of an exponential equation. This week we add in a starting point. Using graphs and tables we will create the corresponding equations.
Please get your work in promptly for maximum credit.

Enjoy Spirit week!

Assignments and Information for the week of 10/20/08

This week will be a little different...again. The big focus of the week is MEAP testing, which continues Tuesday. We begin our new adventure in Growing, Growing, Growing. This unit deals with exponential relationships. Graphs, tables and equations will be the order of most days as we compare these new relationships to one we already know, like linear.
No homework will be assigned during MEAP testing, please use the extra time to rest so that you can be ready for the testing days.

Assignments and Information for the week of 10/13/08

This week will be a little different. The big focus of the week is MEAP testing, which starts Tuesday. The all school read returns to Math class this week (so bring your Uglies book as noted). Also this week are the student led conferences, but through all of that we will prepare ourselves for a new adventure in Growing, Growing, Growing. This unit deals with exponential relationships. Graphs, tables and equations will be the order of most days as we compare these new relationships to one we already know, like linear.
No homework will be assigned during MEAP testing, please use the extra time to rest so that you can be ready for the testing days.
