WARNING: Graphic Image Ahead
Part I of the final exam has been graded. It's not pretty, so if you get sick at the sight of blood, look the other way. You have been warned.Jan 24, 2015
2 More Resources for the Final Exam
With part I of the final exam less than 72 hours away, you may want to take a look at these two documents as you prepare. The first is actually our class work for Monday, but you can get an early start here.
The 2nd document
is an **'if-then'
guide to the
coordinate plane.
It tells you what
formulas to use
in any situation. ***Images shown are not the complete documents

Another (Very) Helpful Resource
Whether you need more help with
a certain topic, or just want to prepare for a test, Braingenie can help.With thousands of
topics to choose from in math and science, it's worth a visit and a bookmark. I
would always suggest taking a 5-10 question practice test just before we have a
scheduled test in class. It's a great way to see how ready you are and to
brush up on any weak areas.
It's all free, you don't need
to sign up, but if you register (still free) you can compete in real time
against others, move up their rankings board, and fulfill your lifelong goal of
world domination. Class Summary: January 21, 2015
We wrap up this part of the unit before continuing with parallel and perpendicular lines. Our class work is here. Don't forget about your Khan Academy due this Sunday.

New Khan Academy Topics for January 23, 2015
Here are your new topics. Since we have a shorter week than usual,it would be wise to get started ASAP. Also, since this is the end of the quarter and grades are due, Sunday is the last day to receive credit.
Tuesday's Triple Teaser Treat
*We're serving up
a triple scoop of bonus points this week. Thirty in all, and well
deserved for those meeting the challenge. There's no math involved, but
a correct solution requires the same skills necessary to be successful
in math: logic, organization, a willingness to try different methods,
and a desire to see the problem through. No tricks or 'gotchas', the TTTT is found here.
Submit your work with complete data for each category on or before Friday, January 23, 2015.
* Waffle Cone not included
Resource Reminder
A quick note to remind everyone of the wealth of additional resources available to you at this site. From the sidebar at the right,
there are a variety of resources, including videos from every topic covered this year. There are 10 videos in the coordinate plane unit alone.
None of the videos are from
the Khan Academy since you already have access to the huge library of videos there.

Additional Resources for the Coordinate Plane
For those of you who may want or need extra help with our current unit, here is a short animated video and a monster 150 slide power point covering the entire unit from A-Z. The video covers the slope of a line and the slope-intercept form. I'll be rolling out additional resources as we cover more of this unit. Enjoy!
You can get your ultimate guide here. It has lots of examples, sample problems with answers, and links to other resources. A definite must have!!

Tuesday's Teaser; Christmas Edition
*As
Santa prepared to deliver the last of his packages down under in
Sydney, Australia, he noticed two small boxes at the bottom addressed
to: "Bambino", Rome Italy. Realizing that the boxes had been misplaced
and that he only had 4 hours before the Bambino would wake up, Santa
strapped a pair of Nike Air Max Hyper Aggressor's on each Reindeer and
sped towards Rome. Exactly 4 hrs. later, Santa delivered the boxes and
headed home to Mrs. C.
Find the distance (in miles, rounded to the nearest hundred) between Sydney and Rome, then calculate Santa's average speed during his trip. Round Santa's speed to the nearest whole number.
First five correct emails share 50 extra credit points. One correct answer gets them all, two correct get 25 points each, etc....
