Algebra 1 Week of August 31 through September 4

Monday:We finished the notes on perimeter and area and did some practice using these concepts as well as understanding how the distributive property could be used with computing area. We took notes on the Pythagorean Theorem, and I handed out a packet of work on perimeter, area, and Pythagorean Theorem that is due Thursday for 2nd Block and Friday for 1st Block. (Due to multiple fire alarms, etc., 1st Block is a little behind 2nd, and I didn't give them the packet the same day.)

Tuesday: We learned about multiplying numbers with the same bases, but with different exponents, and did some practice work with exponents. We also did a mini-project where pairs of students were allowed to choose translation problems of varying difficulty. In grading skills checks, many students still need practice with integer rules. The test for Module 2 will be Thursday.

Wednesday: We continued to practice distributive property, Pythagorean Theorem, Area, and Perimeter. We began working on the test review.

Thursday: We finished the test review and completed another smartboard test review. The packets were due for 2nd Block.

Friday: We took the test and those who wanted took the Module 1 retest. 1st Block packets were due.
