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)...

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!

Today we learned something new, we learned how to Factor Long Trinomails. We Wrote down notes from the Smart Board and did some practice problems. Ms. Murphy also mention that if you do not do your homework, you have three nights to do it, and if you show her the finished homework within the three days you can still get a complete on the homework! She also mentioned, when you are gone away on a trip and then come back you still have a chance to complete homework and get a homework check as well.
