Class Topics: 03.06.12

Today in EDM, students began/completed their Unit Six Summative Assessment.  We spent some time reviewing specific questions before the assessment.

The following skills were assessed on the Unit Six Summative Posttest:
1. evaluate algebraic expressions.
2. translate algebraic expressions.
3. solve equations using addition and subtraction.
4. solve equations using multiplication and division.
5. solve and graph simple inequalities.
6. simplify expressions by combining like terms.
7. write solutions of equations in two variables as ordered pairs.

For Evening Practice, students CAN...
1. RELAX.
Today in Pre-Algebra, students spent some time discussing last night's homework and understanding the difference between dilating a figure by a given scale factor as a center point and dilating with the origin as the center point.
We then began Lesson 7.6: Similar Figures.  Developing appropriate proportions were essential to solving these problems.

Our Learning Intentions for today were...
1. I will be able to compare an image formed by varying scale factors.
2. I will be able to  describe one way for two figures not to be similar.
3. I will be able to explain whether two congruent figures are similar.

       For Evening Practice, students CAN...
       1. complete 1 – 6, 11 – 18, 21 – 36 on pages 368 - 371

  1. Good luck on your test! I hope you read directions carefully. Mr. Giomini has provided many helpful videos and web content, I also hope you used them over the past couple of weeks.
