Tomorrow is our First Friday of the Year...

We made it through picture day at NBAHS.  Despite the interupptions of students coming and going we were able to be productive.

Algebra 2 took time for some Q/A on the Ch 1.1 assignment.  Unit conversions seemed to be the trickiest part.  Students need to complete and make corrections for that assignment as itr is due tomorrow.  We then went through some expamples of powers, algebraic expressions, and following the order of operations.  Remember PEMDAS?  One student remembers it by Purple Elephants Munching Down Appple Sauce or something like that...For an assignment we broke out our workbooks and did Page 3 #2 - 18 evens.

Enriched Geometry started with a review of yesterdays lesson.  Numerous students in each class got the opportunity to tell the class what they learned about points, lines, and planes.  Tremendous job done by all!
We then continued with the lesson and took some time to talk about COLLINEAR and COPLANAR POINTS.  Sometimes the spatial visualization aspects of geometry is frustrating for students.  Some even struggle sketching a cube to make it look 3-d on thier papers.  Plenty of practice will help.  Another point of emphasis today was the idea of intersect/intersection of points, lines, and planes.  Homework for today was in your workbooks, pages 1 - 3 (all 29 problems).

I'm still working on the names and faces.  I always make it a challenge to know all students by the time we take our first test.

Until Tomorrow,
Mr C
