1/9/07 Algebra 2

Today's lesson focuses on the properties of exponents that will help us with the upcoming sections of the chapter. Examples can be found here. We also added, subtracted & multiplied polynomials (more on these later). Examples can be seen here and here. The assignement due for next time was a worksheet given in class.

1/9/07 Algebra 1

Today we continued with Chapter 6 and working with inequalities. We focused on compound inequalities, the 'and' inequality and the 'or' inequality. Our objectives are:

1) Graph compound inequalities on a number line
2) Write compound inequalities
3) Solve compound inequalities

Students completed this worksheet in class (solutions) and then worked on the graded assignment. To see examples of solving compound in equalities, look here.

*Note-both Algebra 1 classes decided to have weekly note-taking grades. They will be responsible for taking notes on the example problems that we do on the board and we be given a grade at the end of each week. They will also be able to use these on the tests from now on.
