Tuesday 9/20

Today we did an awesome Desmos Activity about linear and nonlinear functions, instead of Lesson 2.7. If you didn't get a chance to finish it in class, please be sure to do so at home tonight.

Go to student.desmos.com, login to your Desmos account (or create one, if you haven't already), and then type in your class code.

  • Period 1: FVCQ
  • Period 2: EU5Q
  • Period 6: A8U2

Parents: You can do the activity too! If you'd like to see all the awesome things your child got to do in class today, head to student.desmos.com, and enter the class code 3U3F to play along at home. Enjoy!

We finished Lesson 2.6 today, which now completes our analysis of linear functions. We should now be able to tell all the scenarios when U.S. Shirts is the better buy, and when Hot Shirts is the better buy (and be able to defend our reasoning to our boss!).

If there's anything from today's class work that didn't get finished in class or needs to be improved, please fix it up at home and feel free to check your answers with the link above. Get into the routine of checking your work at home daily and you'll find studying for tests and doing your homework is much easier!

Parents: Ask your child to share with you their work from lessons 2.5 and 2.6. Ask them when each different shirt company is the better deal. If they can back it up with reasoning and evidence, you know they've got it!

Also, the Linear Equations module in MATHia X is due today. Have you completed all your workspaces? If not, be sure to login and finish up at home tonight!


Here is this week's extra credit:

Today we continued our look at linear functions, equations, tables, and graphs with the last part of Lesson 2.5 and the first part of Lesson 2.6.

We discovered that we've got a competitor in the shirt-making marketplace and our boss has tasked us with some analysis.
