Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Students completed test #5. Those students who want to retake should start by completing missing work in listed in Infinite Campus in standard 3 (parents received emails on 11/24). Retakes should be done by December 16th. Our last test will probably be on December 17th or 18th.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Students had time to look over their Friday quizzes and complete the review they received on Friday. Solutions are posted in the Stream of your google classroom. We used the last 20 minutes of class to go over common questions on the review. We also reviewed how to solve by graphing with the TI-Nspire graphing calculators.
HW: Complete any missing work, including the DE Quiz Radical Equations. Test #5 (operations with radicals and equations) is tomorrow, 11/26. For the first 30 minutes of class, students worked with partner on a radical equations scavenger hunt. Students solved a radical equation and found their answer around the room, connected to a famous mathematician. During the last 15 - 20 minutes, students worked in pairs on the radical equations quiz. Students also picked up a review for test #5.
HW: Complete the review for test #5, which is on 11/26. We went over questions on yesterday's circuit training - solving radical equations. This was collected. Students were given 10 - 12 minutes to work on their DE Radical Equations Quiz. For the last part of class we divided into 3 or 4 teams and played Jeopardy, which reviewed operations with radicals and solving radical equations.
HW: Complete the DE Radical Equations Quiz. Your paper quiz on solving radical equations is tomorrow, 11/22. Students had the whole class time to complete two items: the solving radical equations packet and the circuit training (radical equations). We completed #11 & #12 on the packet and this packet was collected.
HW: Complete the Circuit Training - radical equations We showed how to use the TI-Npsire graphing calculators to solve a radical equations by graphing. We checked our work on #11, 12, 15 from WS 6.5. We also went over questions from it and the back side of the Solving Radical Equations Packet.
HW: Complete the Solving Radical Equations Packet & start the Circuit Training - solving radical equations. Students completed a 6 question warm-up on simplifying radicals. We checked this in class. Then we reviewed the methods for solving radical equations and when to use the 3 techniques. Students completed the 6 other radical equations on the warm-up sheet and we checked these in class. On the back of last week's worksheet 6.5, we discussed which 3 problems to use graphing (use desmos.com on 11, 12, 15).
HW: Complete the back side of WS 6.5 and complete the back side of today's warm-up sheet. Students worked on solving (& checking) 5 radical equations. We also worked through #6 and #8 together. We graphed #8 to show graphically why there was no solution. We were also learned that solving the equations by graphing is a very efficient method, especially for problems where one had to square both sides twice. We finished 9 & 10 by using desmos.com to solve by graphing.
HW: Complete the front side of WS 6.5 Solving Radical Equations, using the graphing method on 4 problems. Also, make correction on your quiz with radical operations. Students started by completing 10 true/false questions about radical equations and power properties. We checked these in class. We looked at how to solve radical equations by following a 4 step process. First, isolate the variable and then eliminating the root by raising each side to the index power. Thirdly, solve a simple algebraic equation, you may need to solve a quadratic by factoring or quadratic formula. With the algebraic method, it may produce extraneous solutions, so one must check when using the algebraic method as the last step.
Quizzes from yesterday were returned. Students should complete the problems that were left blank and correct errors.

Make corrections on your quiz! Students completed WS 6.1 Test Prep as a warm-up. We reviewed how to use the root button on the graphing calculator. We also checked this in class. We also went over the last 3 questions from yesterday's google quiz. Then students did a quick check of their work on WS 6.4. Lastly, students completed their quiz on operations with radicals.
HW: Complete WS 6.2 Test Prep (on the back of 6.1 Test Prep) & complete WS 6.4. |
