9/14/06 Algebra 1

We began today with the Lesson Test from last class period's lesson. Afterwards we graded the homework assignment that was due for today. We completed a worksheet in class together reviewing the rules for multiplying and dividing negative numbers. Students practiced with a worksheet and some problems out of the book, pages 96 & 111, #'s 16-48 even & 16-46 even. We will begin class Monday with some more review work regarding division of fractions before we have some graded work out of this section.

We began today with the Lesson Test from Tuesday's lesson. I took questions over the homework after that, then we graded it in class. I introduced our objectives for the day:

1) Use slope and y - intercept of an equation to graph its line
2) Graph horizontal lines y = c and vertical lines x = c
3) Write the equation of a line given slope and y - intercept
4) Write the equation of a line given point and a slope
5) Write the equation of a line given 2 points
6) Write the equation of a line that is parallel to a given line
7) Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a given line
8) Know the slope - intercept form of an equation ( y = mx + b )

I worked through some examples on the board and then students practiced on a worksheet.
