Projects

End of year projects...

By Tuesday, you should have completed 5 problems from each lesson of your chapter. Also, I need lesson plans for your part of the presentation including MATERIALS.

Presentations start Wednesday!

End of Year Project

2008-05-20T13:47:00.000-07:00

Finish the first 2 lessons of your assigned chapter. Continue researching and thinking about your presentation. Tomorrow will be spent working on your lesson plan within your group. Come prepared to discuss your chapter and work!

Work on End of Year Project

2008-05-19T15:18:00.001-07:00

End of Year Algebra Project

Featuring:

• The Real Numbers

• Fractional Equations

• Number Sequences

Goals:
They say that to really learn something really well, you must be able to teach it. The plan for this project is for you to learn and master one of the three remaining chapters and then be able to provide appropriate lessons to teach your peers what you have learned. Included in this should be a lesson with visual aids, activities that extend the work, a real world application (ie a word problem that your students can solve) and finally, an assignment of 10 meaningful problems that you will give for homework.

What to do each day – all to be done as a group:

1) Read each lesson from the chapter and do at least 5 Set II problems from each lesson. Ask if something is unclear.
2) Research other books’ methods to teaching the same topic. Look for applications and extensions. (You may use the teachers’ editions of the different books for different ideas of how to teach the topic AND the Internet for real world application). You must have at least 3 different sources for this project (only one of which can be a website).
3) Design a lesson plan with activities, visual aids and a problem set as homework.

The Lesson Plan should include the following headings:
Title:
Objective:
Materials:
Step-by-Step Procedures:
Assignment:

Wrapping up Quadratics

2008-05-12T12:39:00.000-07:00

Because of ERB week, we will not have an in-class chapter 13 test. Instead, you will be turning in your SET I review homework which will count in lieu of the chapter 13 test. You may skip #3. I expect to see all work shown on your paper.

Chapter 13, Set I Review is due on Wednesday at the beginning of class.

May 6, 2008 POW Name __________________

Option 1: you are standing in line to see a movie. Five more people are ahead of you in line than are behind you. Four times as many people are in line as the number of people who are behind you. How many people are ahead of you in line?

Option 2: What is the mean (average) of the first 300 terms in the following sequence:

1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, 7, …

Option 3: Using all the digits 0 through 9 once and only once, create multiples of 4 that will sum to the smallest number possible. Example: 1472 + 956 + 308 = 2736 (This sum is not the smallest number that is possible).

Solving by completing the square

2008-05-06T13:32:00.000-07:00

Finish all lessons until 13.6

Remember to solve quadratics, there are 5 methods:

1.) Graphing
2.) Square Roots
3.) Factoring
4.) Completing the square
5.) Quadratic Formula

You should know 4 out of the 5 by tomorrow!

POW – April 21, 2008 Name ________________________

Option 1: The numbers 1 and 9 are two of five counting numbers that produce a sum of 25. Those same five numbers, when multiplied, give a product of 945. What are the other three numbers?

Option 2: A new operation symbol has been created in mathematics. Your task is to determine how the @ operation works. Based on the equations below, what would 7 @ 8 equal?

1 @ 2 = 5
3 @ 4 = 25
4 @ 5 = 41
5 @ 6 = 61
7 @ 8 = ____

Option 3: In 1980, a typical telephone number in the United States contained seven digits. Several areas of the country now must use ten-digit telephone numbers. If the entire country follows, exactly how many different ten-digit telephone numbers are available such that the first digit cannot be a 0 or 1 and the fourth cannot be a 0?

Option 1: Arranging heights

Consider these three facts:
a) Jay is shorter than Carrie.
b) Ashley is taller than Duane.
c) If Jay is the tallest, then Ashley is shorter than Ben; otherwise, Jay is the second shortest and Ashley is not the tallest.

Using those three facts, list the four people (Ashley, Jay, Carrie, and Duane) in order from shortest to tallest.

Option 2: Taking Stock Problem

A farmer had 19 animals on his farm—some chickens and some cows. He also knew that there were a total of 62 legs on the animals on the farm. How many of each kind of animal did he have? Use a visual form of representation to solve this problem.
