Powers: I can use exponent laws and order of operations to solve exponent problems, I can solve exponent problems involving area, volume, and surface area. (Math 9F, Ch3)
  • Learn: 
  • Practice:
    • Chapter Review p. 120, 121
      • All of 3.4 - I suggest these first because it relates today's lesson
      • #1-5, 2 from each section (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4)
  • Apply (time to start planning for your Math Project):
    • Brainstorm ideas here
    • The Math Links for this chapter would make a great project idea - they involve the construction of a mobile made of 3D shapes. You'd really have to apply your Math knowledge to create precision shapes that would balance. This could make a really cool piece of geometric art!
    • This Chapter would lend itself nicely to some experimentation with Math games. See if you can find some to practice and apply your knowledge of powers
    • See if you can come up with a project idea based on powers and exponents.
Integers: I can add, subtract, multiply, and divide integers. I can apply my understanding to substitution problems and exponent problems. (Math 9B, Ch5)
  • Learn: 
  • Practice:
    • Assignment : 
      • p.180 - Choose 4 Odds 
      • p. 182 – 5.2 a,b, 5.3 a,b, 5.6 a,b, 5.7 a,b, 5.8 a,b, 5.10 a,c
  • Apply (time to start planning for your Math Project):
    • Brainstorm ideas here
    • This Chapter would lend itself nicely to some experimentation with Math games. See if you can find some to practice and apply your knowledge of powers
    • See if you can come up with a project idea based on powers and exponents.

Fri Mar 7th

Rational Numbers (Math 9F):
  • Goal: I can compare, order, and define rational numbers. I can perform operations with rational numbers (as decimals, fraction, squares, and square roots)
  • Test today!
Fractions (Math 9B):
  • Goal: I can represent fractions pictorially, concretely, and symbolically. I can perform operations with fractions.
  • Test today!

Is Clean Energy Worth It?

  1. Chunk 2 (In Your Assignments folder) - should be done
    1. Review as a class (Wed)
    2. Have partners (students who are sharing the doc together) chat in the margins of their doc and decide how they will break up the work on the doc
    3. Have students collect the necessary information to complete Chunk 2
  2. Chunk 3: Table of Values and Graph Assignment - Due Friday
    1. Review as a class (Wed)
      1. spreadsheet example
      2. example as a .pdf (may be easier to read for our iOS users)
    2. Give groups time to fill in their table of values, and start creating graphs and equations
  3. Chunk 4: Visual Representation of Findings - Due Friday March 7th
    1. Review the criteria in the class rubric together as a class (I have filled it in based on what we started with)
    2. On your own:
      1. Look at the table, graph, and rules criteria carefully to make sure you set everything up correctly and got all the information necessary in Chunk 3
      2. Look at the criteria for connections to ensure that you have added in enough additional information to put the math in context. 
    3. Look at the criteria for technology/ visual presentation and create a visual presentation. As we want these to be printed and posted on a bulletin board suggested presentation tools would include:
      1. Glogster (Video Tutorial)
      2. Google Draw in Google Drive (Video Tutorial, another Video Tutorial)
      3. Something of your choice similar to Glogster or Google Draw (think poster presentation, not slide presentation)
