Starting Accentuate the Negative - Feb 25th and 26th
Welcome Back!
Coming back from Break we are also moving into a new Unit called Accentuate the Negative.
The focus is on this Unit is understanding and developing systematic ways to add, subtract, multiply, and divide positive and negative numbers. Students will develop algorithms for computations and will use the order of operations, the Commutative Property, and the Distributive Property to solve problems.
Worksheets to Complete in class or homework:
Accentuate the Negative- Prior Skills and Concepts
Working with Integers Document Link
If you can not answer a question circle it and place a question mark next to it. Do not worry about not being able to answer every question, this is a baseline.
Skills Sheet due Friday March 1st:
Skills #13 Document Link
We started Investigation 1 by going over vocabulary and completing the reading on p. 5-7.

Tuesday February 12th - Skills Assessment Review
With the #1-12 Skill Assessment coming up Thursday we will focus some class time on practice assessments and self-reflection to identify areas of focus.
Here is the link to the Practice Assessment Skills #1-12.
After you complete the practice assessment correct it with your teacher and then start the self-reflection. This focuses on the last skill sheets you have completed #8-12 as well as the skills review #1-12 and the skills practice #1-12 you just completed. Read the directions and fill it out. Have your parents sign this as well showing they have discussed your skill progress with you and have seen the areas you have identified as your areas of focus. We will work on these areas tomorrow, prior to the assessment.

Wednesday January 3rd
Hello everyone and Happy New Year!
I wanted to share some good practice sites for order of operations in case you wanted to practice on your own - we will talk more about these in class, but I have noticed that some of you need a little more work in this area so try some of these:
https://www.khanacademy.org/
https://www.khanacademy.org/
http://www.basic-mathematics.
and this one - but run it in chrome or safari - http://www.shodor.org/
Have fun practicing!

October 23rd Class
Today the students completed Investigation 4.1 in class. Instead of the graphing calculators students will use there Graph-it Program on their laptops.
Here are the notes covering A from Problem 4.1. Students need to complete B and C for homework tonight.
Also we reviewed the expectations for Skill Sheets and all make-ups for the Skills Assessment must be completed by this Friday.

October 22 Monday
Today in class the students received their Skills Assessment #1-4 back. An acceptable score was 7 out of 10 or higher. The students will be able and are expected to make-up the work on a separate sheet of paper if they did not meet the goal of 7 out of 10.
You can check in at the following link to PowerSchool to see their current grade and if you click on the grade you can see the specific areas of weakness.
They are to gather all the Skills Sheets #1-4, their Skills Review #1-4 (used to study for the assessment), their Skills Self-Assessment (reflection sheet), and their Skills Assessment #1-4 (test). This will prepare them for tomorrow's class.

Today we used the class time to review and give examples of skill problems. Students charted areas of weakness on the board and then we went over specific problems and I gave an additional example for each skill. This practice should be completed by Friday's Skill Assessment. Students should have a record of this work on a note sheet.
Any student that need more practice or assistance in a skill can see Mr. Hagerty and Mr. Cuthbert for help.
Students need to complete the end of investigation review p.83 problems #1-3. Complete sentences should be used.

Monday October 15th- Class
Today in class we had the students review their skills #1-4 sheets and reflected on their progress on a Self-Assessment Worksheet. They need to review their progress with you and have you sign their Self-Assessment Sheet for homework tonight. This is used to identify their areas of weakness so they may get help in these areas before Friday's Skills Assessment.
We then preceded to complete a Investigation 3 Check-in. We reviewed the steps to identify numbers and variables in a word problem and then convert those into a rule. From the rule the students form equations and convert the equations into the form of y as a function of x. In this form they are ready to enter this equation into graph-it and then analyze it.

Friday October 12th - Work for the Day
Today in Math we will go over the Core ACE Problems #5-12 that we completed in class and for homework last week.
The following are the review of the 2 Levels.
Level I Starts on page 74, ACE Problems #5-12, 22-27, 30-34
Level II Starts on page 74 ACE Problems #5-12 and 26 - 37.
The following are the Answers to the given ACE Problems.
I supplied the answers above, but any questions you have should be directed to Mr. Poloquin to go over on the board.
We will complete the ACE Problems and then move onto Skills Practice Work. The sheet you will be handed is a practice for the test you will take next Friday (October 19th). This test will count on your final grade. It is very important you identify the areas of weakness you are having on the practice sheet and get help in these areas.
Use the entire time to work through the sheet and complete the rest over the weekend for Monday's class if you do not finish.
This is independent work, but you may get help from Mr. Poloquin if it is needed.
Good luck!

September 24th - Class
Today in class students received Skill Sheet #3.
We completed most of Investigation 2.1 - Analyzing Tables and Graphs.
The goals of this lesson were to:
1. Graphing two sets of data on one graph and compare the data sets.
2. Identify and use patterns in data to make accurate predictions about values.
Students are to finish Problem 2.1 for homework, specifically Questions D 1, 2 and E 1, 2.

September 17th - Monday's Class
Today the students performed some mental math as a warm-up. For example "What is 1/2 of 700?"
Then they learned how to enter in their Skill Scores to a spreadsheet to track their progress. Any student that scored below 7 out of 9 on their Skill Sheet needs to redo the missed problems and check them with me.
I also handed out Skill Sheet #2 which is to be completed by Friday the 21st.
We started to work through Problem 1.4 on pages 12 and 13, which focuses on discrete and continuous data. See the following notes from class.
Classwork was to complete A-F in Problem 1.4
Homework is to complete ACE #6-9 pages 24-27.

September 10th - Class
Students completed the Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP) online assessment. This will capture a baseline of the student's knowledge.
The students also received Skill Sheet Practice #1. These weekly worksheets focus on computation skills that students need to master to be successful this year and future years, some of these skills are review form years past and some are current skills needed to be learned. The sheets will be handed out Mondays and need to be completed by Friday.
