A large truck is crossing a bridge 1 mile long. The bridge can only hold 14000 lbs, which is the exact weight of the truck. The truck makes it half way across the bridge and stops. A bird lands on the truck. Does the bridge collapse?
No, it does not collapse. Because the truck has driven half a mile, you would subtract the gas used from the total weight of the truck.

Homework by Ryan McCarvill
Ms Murphy substituted for Mrs Spence today. We started Chapter 6 Lesson 6, which is Equations of a Line, Point Slope Formula. We learned the point slope formula, y-y1 = m(x-x1), which is used to write point and slope or to find two points. We did some practice problems and Ms Murphy assigned questions 2-32 even on page 282.

Question
Santa Claus sometimes helps the elves by making some toys. He's not as fast as the elves, but he can still make 30 toys each hour. In order to keep from getting bored he starts each day by building 50 trains and then switches to building 50 airplanes. Then he switches back to trains and keeps switching back and forth until the day is finished. If Santa starts work at 8:00am, when will he finish his 108th train?
Answer:
Because Santa started with trains, the 108th train will occur during his 5th batch of toys. Thus he will have built a total of 208 toys. At 2 minutes a toy, his 108th train will happen 416 minutes after he starts work, which is 2:56pm.

Homework Assigned (Mrs. Spence)
In class today, we went over how to graph linear equations. We also learned about the difference between continuous and discrete graphs. Mrs. Spence gave us time to fix some of the problems we had done for today. She also assigned more for us to work on.
For tomorrow, we should have completed:
p219 #26 (if you haven't already)
p219 #1-20
[James wasn't in class, so I posted it for him.]

Homework from April 30th - Mrs. Spence
On Thursday, we started chapter 5 by looking at relations and different ways that relations are expressed. We also learned about domain and range and how to properly write them. Homework for Monday is p214 #1-16. Don't forget to finish your Creative Graphing Assignment since it is due on Monday as well!
Creative Graphing Assignment
This was the assignment as written on the board in class. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Basically, you are to create a set of directions that will be given to junior high students to practice plotting points properly. If they do and your directions (points) are accurate, they should reproduce your drawing. In the process of doing this assignment, you will get lots of practice reading points on a graph - something that I've found that a number of students have difficulty doing (at least in the past).
Sample directions:
Plot the following points and join them in order. (3,6), (9, 1),
(-2, 5)...
(-2, 5)...
If you have more than one item in the drawing (ex. a window in a house or an eye of a puppy), separate the sets of points with another set of directions.
ex. Now join the following points...
To Hand In:
- the grid paper with your drawing on it (points indicated)
- a separate sheet with the directions on it (including all points)
If you have any questions, e-mail me!
