We went over the worksheet distributed last class today.  More practice questions are recommended.

Practice: Chapter 7.3 Page 152 # 1-5, 11

No puzzle today due to Math 9 quiz.

We finished going over the worksheet for Chapter 7.2 today (General form) and look at intercepts.  And then we started looking at Slope Point Form.  I have emphasized the importance of being able to write the linear relation in all three forms of the equation: Slope Intercept Form, General Form, and Slope Point Form.  Worksheet for 7.3 is distributed and we will go over next class.

Quiz on Monday March 4 (next Monday) on 7.1 and 7.2.

​Practice: Chapter 7.2 Page 148 # 1-3, 5, 7

Puzzle 84: Chicken Nuggets

We looked at the worksheet from last class.  Due to shorted class time (poetry competition), we only looked at answers to half of the worksheet.  We will continue and finish looking at the worksheet next class.

Puzzle 75: Honeybee Ancestors
​

We went over the worksheet from last class on 7.1 Slope Intercept Form.  Then, we looked at General Form of the linear equation (Chapter 7.2).  For general form, we defined what A, B, C must be in Ax+By+C = 0.  We did converting from slope intercept form to general form, graphing using intercepts, and horizontal/vertical lines.  We will have more discussion on this form next class.

For more practice on 7.1, refer to below.  There is a worksheet for 7.2.  Students are reminded of the upcoming quiz and retest dates.  If you have not submitted your project, please hand in ASAP.  

​Practice: Chapter 7.1 Page 143 # 1 - 7, 10, 12

Puzzle 94: Number Sandwiches

We started Chapter 7 today.  There are three forms for linear equations.  We started with the Slope Intercept Form (Chapter 7.1).  We looked at how to convert to this form, how to write the equation given 2 points and/or other data, how to graph, and how to read the slope and y-intercept from the equation.

Announcements:
Quiz 5 on Chapter 7.1and 7.2 on March 4 Monday during class
​Re-Test on Chapter 6 on Thursday Feb 28 after school

Puzzle 92: Removing Chips

​

We have our test today on Chapter 6: Linear Relations.
​

We went over Worksheets 38 and 39 today in preparation for the test next class.

Puzzle 81: Catch the Thief

We continued to look at slope today by doing a whole bunch of examples.  We looked for slope from a graph and also from ordered pairs.  There is a worksheet for student to practice Chapter 6.4 and 6.5.  We will go over the worksheets next class.

We will have one review class before the test.
