Homework: Finish the piecewise function activity

Tuesday 11/8

Today we passed back the chapter 3 tests and went over them together.

Afterwards we did the awesome Function Carnival activity from Desmos! Didn't finish in class but want to play along at home? We've got you covered! Head to student.desmos.com and enter your class code.

Period 1: XURUJ

Period 2: VUUJF
Period 6: 4TPDU

Once you've completed all three and answered the questions, have your parents give it a shot. Challenge them to see who can create a more accurate representation.

We'll take a look at all your creations together tomorrow.

Homework: Equations & Graphs Review worksheet

Also, don't forget to check all of your homework from last week with the solutions posted here.

Monday 11/7

I was at a math meeting all day today, but in my absence you worked in MATHia X.

The deadline for the Functions and Linear Models module is Friday at midnight. Have you completed the module yet? If not, do you have a plan in place to get it done this week?

Remember, there's no school on Friday - use that to your advantage if needed!

Homework: MATHia practice (whatever it takes to meet your goals)

Friday 11/4

Today I was away at a math conference, but in my absence you worked in MATHia X.
