In 1°, students reviewed Monday night's Evening Practice.  Class was backlogged due to allocating time for the Learwood Test and Spring Concert practice.  Mr. Giomini introduced, modeled, and practiced alongside students Lesson 12.4: Linear Functions.

Class focused on some terminology: linear equation and linear function.  Students had to opportunity to graph linear functions which is seen on next Wednesday's Chapter Twelve Midpoint Quiz.

The fastest-moving tectonic plates on Earth move apart at a rate of 15 centimeters per year. Scientists began studying two parts of these plates when they were 30 centimeters apart. How far apart will the two parts be after 4 years?

Students in 2, 3, and 4° used ClassMarker to complete their Learwood Test.  Students had two opportunities to earn their highest possible score.
