6. CLASSROOM ROUTINE:  The agenda for the day is on the board when the kids get to class.  General Routine 1. Opener/HW questions 2. Notes 3. White Board Activity or other activity 4. Begin new assignment/quiz

7.

8. Quizzes—zero to 5 times a week 1. Sometimes a group quiz. 2. Sometimes an individual quiz. 3. Sometimes a take home quiz. 4. Sometimes an individual 5 or 10 point/5 or 10 minute quiz. Students get to use their notes and assignments.

9. Test Review 1 or 2 days prior to the test --read through all notes --go over all quizzes --ask questions --review activity --complete “target goal” self assessment --do Pre-Test—go on line to grade --do “optional” assignment --PRACTICE homework problems --PRACTICE all quizzes --PRACTICE book test

10. Tests 1. Always done individually. 2. 45 minutes in length. 3. Extra time is not allowed. 4. There are NO re-take tests (This is an Honors class.) 5. There is a Quarter test given each quarter to replace a lower test percent.

11. EXTRA CREDIT: --group averages need to be 85% on individual tests (5 extra credit points for 100 point tests) --perfect for group quizzes (1 extra credit point) --Group-Team Activities/Games

19. Graphing Calculator:  Required for this class and all future math classes.  May be used on the PLAN, ACT, and SAT.  TI-83, TI-83 plus, TI-84, TI-84 plus recommended.  May rent one for one class period for $.25 and ID.  May rent one for $3 for the whole semester for class use only.  We are currently doing Scatter Plots and Linear Regressions. (Line of Best Fit)

21. Coming up: Solve the system of equations: 2x + y = 6 3x - y = 9 Add the equations together to get: 5x = 15 so x = 3 Substitute into either of the given equations to get: 2(3) + y = 6 so y = 0 Solution: (3, 0)

22. With Technology Solve: 2x + y = 6 3x - y = 9 Solve each equation for y and enter them into the graphing calculator: y = -2x + 6 y = 3x - 9 press 2nd trace #5 enter, enter, enter
