Class Topics: 11.30.12

In Math Six in second period, students were divided into learning pods to review some of the recently covered material from Unit Four.  Others began adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators and converting answers mixed numbers and simplifying answers when needed.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
  1. reduce fractions to simplest terms.
  2. compare fractions using the Quickest Common Denominator strategy.
  3. add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.
  4. convert improper fractions to mixed numbers that are simplified if needed.
For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...
  1. complete Study Link 4.3.  (Giomini and McGreer's Pods)
  2. review material for Unit Four quiz on Tuesday, December 4th.
In Math Six in fourth period, students were divided into learning pods to work on adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.  All answers were converted to mixed numbers and reduced to simplest terms when needed.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...
  1. reduce fractions to simplest terms.
  2. compare fractions using the Quickest Common Denominator strategy.
  3. add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators.
  4. convert improper fractions to mixed numbers that are simplified if needed.
For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...
  1. complete Study Link 4.3.
  2. review material for Unit Four quiz on Tuesday, December 4th.

In Pre-Algebra today, students completed the Chapter Five formative pretest.  This chapter will give us an review and introduction to some skills found in the Geometry branch of Mathematics.
Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to demonstrate their current level of understanding for material dealing with...
  1. identifying lines. points and planes.
  2. constructing tessellations.
  3. identifying and constructing various lines of symmetry.
  4. using coordinates to show transformations.
  5. determining congruence.  
  6. explaining the different properties of polygons and triangles.
For Weekend Practice, it is suggested that the student...
  1. catch up on previous Khan skills.
  2. post a response to the picture below.
  3. complete pages 222-226 - 1-12 and 25-34
What does that mean?

  1. It means parallel lines will never end unless they intersect

  2. This Means that parallel lines never cross because infinity goes on forever so if the cross at infinity then that means they never cross.

  3. It means that parallel lines will never intersect and parallel lines never stop going if the lines do not cross each other.

  4. The picture means parallel lines never ever intersect which means they will never end.

  6. Parallel lines are lines that never intersect. Infinity is a symbol. You cannot count to infinity because it has no numerical value and you cannot get to infinity. That being so, you can't cross at infinity, so when the picture says that parallel lines cross at infinity, it is saying they will never intersect.

  7. This means that the lines go on forever inless they intersect, but in this case they will never intersect because infinity is not a number.

  9. What that picture means is that parallel lines can go on for infinity, but they will never cross each other.

  11. The lines will never cross bceause to be parrallel the line never cross. Plus infinity keeps going on forever and the lines could never reach infinity if it goes on forever

  13. This picture means that these lines will never cross because infinity goes on for ever.

  15. The saying "PARALLEL LINES CROSS AT INFINITY" means that the lines will never intersect because infinity is something you can never get to. If you could though, you'd see them intersect:
