Wednesday Sep. 25th (Graphing Quiz Review)

Wednesday Classes:  E-Block, G-Block
Today we will be going over the third graphing practice and introduce the final installment of our graphing review (HW8). By this time, you should be a semi-expert in the field of graphing.

Important information:
Parallel Lines - If you have the slope of one line (for example the slope of the first line is 3). Then the slope of a parallel line must be exactly the same. The parallel line goes in the same direction forever and so must also have a slope of 3. Parallel lines have the same slope.
Perpendicular Lines - If you have the slope of one line (for example the slope of the first line is 3). Then the slope of the perpendicular line will be the opposite sign (positive or negative) and the reciprocal (the upside down version of the first fraction). If the first slope is 2 or 2/1, then the slope of all perpendicular lines is -1/2. Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes.

Homework #8:  Find the equations of the first 14 problems, showing all of your work. DO NOT do the last problem (#25).

Tuesday Sep. 24th (Graphing Practice #4)

Tuesday Classes:  G-Block
Today we will be going over the first two graphing handouts (HW5 and HW6). We will then practice graphing, starting with different bits of information (intercepts, slope, equations, etc).
Homework #7:  Graph the twelve equations given to you. You may print out the handout and graph on the handout, or graph the twelve problems on graph paper. Show all of your work! What I mean by this is that, if it gives you 2x+3y=5 and you rearrange it to get y=mx+b format before graphing, show those steps clearly!

Thursday Classes:  E-Block, G-Block
Today we begin the second installment of our graphing review. The skills you will practice today are:
1. If you are given the equation of a line like y=3x-2, find the slope and y-intercept.
2. If you are given the equation of a line like 2x+5y=2, find the slope and y-intercept
3. A short review of our two graphing assignments

Homework #6:  Complete the four page review sheet.
  • Instruction #1: YES, you DO need to graph #11-20 even though it does not mention that at the top of the page. The instructions were cut off when I scanned the page.
  • Instruction #2: On the final page titled "Worksheet F5: Test Review", you should skip #1 and #2.

Welcome (Recap of Weeks 1 & 2)

Mr. Dilloughery's Core 2 Math Class

Here is a recap of the first two weeks of school:

Week One
(September 2nd - 6th) 
This week was filled with review, practice and placement exams. There were no graded assignments this week and nothing to catch up on if you missed class

Week Two
(September 9th - 13th)
This week we reviewed three topics in class (outlined below). There were three homework assignments (explained below). There was the first weekly quiz.

  1. Topic #1 - Arithmetic (Order of Operations) - This is one of the three main skill you will need throughout the year. The basic idea is that if I give you a bunch of numbers and math operations, I want you to be the human calculator and come out with the correct answer. You should know in which order to do multiplication and addition and so on as well as being able to do simple operations with one- and two-digit numbers.
    • Classwork #001:  p.82  Exercise 12 #1-18 and Exercise  13 #1-9
    • Homework #001:  Complete all 30 problems on the handout HW001.PDF
    • Attachments - CW001.PDFHW001.PDF and the Answer Key to HW001

  2. Topic #2 - Solving Equations - This is the second of the three main skills you will need to have throughout this year. If you are given an equation with just x's and numbers, then you should be able to solve for x.
    • Homework #002:
      • page 47,  Exercise 3  #17-49 ODD problems only
      • page 47,  Exercise 4  #1-15 ODD problems only
      • page 48,  Exercise 5  #1-19 ODD problems only
    • Attachment - HW 002.PDF

  3. Topic #3 - Graphing Linear Equations - This is the third and final skill that you will need to have throughout this year. You should be able to graph an equation like  y=3x+2  or  2x-5y=7. You should also be able to take information from a graph or information given to you such as two points, and be able to write the equation of the line.
    • Homework #003:  
      • p.59  Exercise 14  ALL
      • p.60  Exercise 15  ALL
    • Attachment - HW 003.PDF

  4. Weekly Quiz - This quiz only covered the first two topics, as we had not yet reviewed the third topic. It consisted of 5 order of operation questions and 5 solving equation problems. In general, future quizzes will be about a quarter on order of operations, a quarter on solving equations, a quarter on graphing linear equations, and a quarter on recent materials (new things from the week of the quiz).
