Today we reviewed how to graph an equation (after putting it into slope intercept form), corrected the worksheet from yesterday and started the back side of the graphing worksheet.

Assignment:
Complete the back side of the graphing WS
1. Put equation into y=mx+b format
2. Create a table using the values -5, -1, 0, 1, 5 for x
3. Graph on the paper

To review how to do this..... follow this linkhttp://mrs-boyer-shs.blogspot.com/2011/09/92811.html

Assignment: Back side of WS  is HOMEWORK

Upcoming: Review Worksheet and Quiz on Monday or Tuesday

9/28/11

Learning: 

• Today we reviewed putting an equation into y=mx+b format 

• We then reviewed the steps to graphing a line with a calculator
• put the equation into y=mx+b
• push y= button 
• push graph button 
• if there are problems try pushing window button then 6 
• to see the table, push 2nd button then graph button
• We looked at putting graphs onto paper using an x/y chart (using the numbers -1, 0, 1 for x

Assignment: 

• 1-6 on Graphing Worksheet (1. Graph on calculator, 2. Write an x/y table with points -1, 0, 1 and 3. Draw graph on the worksheet  (EVERYONE had hw) 
• REMINDER: x is the sideways line and y is the up and down line 
• X is the FIRST number listed and Y is the 2nd number listed 
• x to the right is positive, x to the left is negative 
• y up is positive and y down is negative

Upcoming: 

• More graphing practice 
• Quiz on FRIDAY OR Monday

Happy Tuesday on this Four Day Week!

Learning:

• Today we reviewed slope intercept form (see this post for notes )
• Two worksheets were given out and class time was provided to work on them: Group and Independent
• Notes on how to use a calculator to graph an equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) and how to use the table feature of our calculator

Assignment: 

• Only a few students finished up the two worksheets. If you DID NOT finish both worksheets, they are HOMEWORK and due tomorrow (Wednesday)

Upcoming:

• REMINDER: we are now having class in C108 INSTEAD of C111. This gives us lots more space! 
• Graphing! Graphing! Graphing! :) and solving for x
