Warm-UP

We are again practicing finding the square root of a variety of numbers.


I will be looking over your 3.4 Lesson from yesterday's class period.  After that you are going to work on the ACE questions in your packet.  Then you are responsible for the Mathematical Reflections questions from 3.4.  Your packets are due today!!!!  Once your packets have been turned in we will be going over the material as a class.  Remember the TEST DATE IS_________ TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, November 29th

Warm-Up:  Today look at how you find the hypotenuse and solve the missing side of each right triangle.

There is a homework check on 3.3 and ACE Question #24.

Then we are going to watch a short video on the Pythagorean Theorem.

During the video write down on the back of 3.3 in your packet what point was being made.

After that you are going to work for 10 minutes with a partner.  Each partner group is going to recieve some different sized paper.  Your group will also have a ruler to measure the side lengths.  You need to determine what you learn from the experiment.  Also write down your experiment findings on the back of the packet for 3.3.

We will come back together as a group to discuss what you discovered.  Then each person will need to work in their packet on 3.4 (Lengths that form a Right Triangle)

Monday, November 28th

Welcome Back!  New warm-up and problem of the week for the week!  Also please turn in last weeks bell work to the basket.

Today I am going to be checking to see what you did with Investigation 3.2 so please have that out.  We are going to go over 3.2 and then begin discussing 3.3 Finding Distances.

Friday, November 11

Bell Work:

What is a perfect square?  How do you find the square root of a number?  Define completely.  Write out an example to prove you understand.    Bell Work Needs to be turned in when done.

Then you are going to be assigned a group and your group is going to be drawing a topic.  Your group project will cover a concept covered in Investigation 1 to Investigation 2.  You will have most of the hour to work with your group on the project.  Your group is going to be putting their work and responses on a poster board.  On Monday your group will be teaching their topic to the rest of the class.  It is important to not waste time today as soon as you have your topic.  Your group will need to brainstorm and write out the process before transferring the work to the poster board. 

Good Luck.

            Multiply the following numbers:  (No calculators)

a)  225 X 15                b) .5 X 216                  c) 2,599 X 195                        d) 1524 X 33

Then you are going to finish up the packet you need to add the two Math Reflection questions to the back of the packet.  You are also going to recieve addtional practice sheets today.  Before you leave today you are also going to be able to pick up your new schedule for all of next week. 

Wednesday, November 9th

Bell Work:

Wednesday, November 9^th

            Draw three squares with different areas.  One square must be at an angle.

Go over square roots with a little partner activity.

Then go over Problem 2.3 Using Squares to Find Lengths.  Also there will be a homework check on this.  (you had enough class time to finish)

Work on these questions:  ACE 2.3 pg 25-26 #35-37,41

They were not assigned yesterday due to running out of time.

Tuesday, November 8th

Homework check from Tuesday's work

Then begin discussing Problem 2.3 Using Squares to Find Lengths

-Start ACE 2.3 pg 25-26 #35-37, 41

*Any work not completed in class will be homework for the evening.

Friday, November 4th

                TODAY is the LAST day of the MARKING PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Don't forget to turn in your bell work.

Yesterday a new packet was passed out for Investigation 2... Today we are going to continue finding squares with different areas using a 5X5 dot grid.  You are going to check your answers from yesterday using a peg board.  You are also going to be finding any squares you might have missed.  Don't forget squares can also be at an angle.

http://www.learner.org/courses/learningmath/measurement/session6/part_b/index.html

You have the following ACE questions:

Complete Ace Questions pg 23, 26 #1, 2, 42

Also you have the following assignment regarding your cell phone.  You need to text a message to the following phone number. (614) 682-7014

The message should include:   @lint

The purpose of this is to keep you up on important upcoming due dates.  Your parents can also do this as well so they can help you make sure your assignments are never not turned in on time or you forget about a quiz or test.
