• 1/06/2025: Happy New Year! This week the stars will prepare for their Algebra 1 Midterm exam! The stars will practice skills learned in chapters 1-3. The stars will utilize their notes and each other in order to prepare. The stars will come home with a review and will study! They will all do their best!

    09/09/2024: The stars are off to a great start! Monday & Tuesday we started Chapter 1 Solving linear equations and completed our Benchmark A  Wednesday & Thursday! Friday we practiced sections 1.1 and some classes started section 1.2 solving multi step equations! We practiced working as a team in groups and discussion protocols!

     

    09/16/2024: This week we will be learning how to 1.2 solve multi-step equations and 1.3 how to solve equations with variables on both sides using inverse operations! We will look at visuals and real world problems to help support our learning and connect to real life. We will use Delta Math to practice. We will have our first quiz the end of this week or start of next week. The quiz will cover sections 1.1-1.3. Students may utilize guided examples and video illustrations through Big Ideas to review for the quiz!

    09/23/2024: This week the stars will be taking their first Level 3 quiz. The quiz consists of 10 questions covering sections 1.1-1.3. We reviewed in class and students were responsible for studying the material. We will learn how to solve literal and absolute value equations at the end of the week! Great job stars!

    09/30/2024: This week we will prepare for our first exam! Students will be given a practice test to complete and we will review the questions. Students will be responsible for studying and preparing for their Chapter 1 exam. We will then begin Chapter 2 Solving linear inequalities! 

    10/07/2024: This week the stars will begin to learn about Chapter 2 of Solving Linear Inequalities! We will build upon our prior knowledge of solving linear equations and learn how inequalities are used to represent real world situations along with graphing and writing inequalities. The stars will practice in their workbook, take notes in their notebooks and complete assignments using Delta Math!

    10/14/2024: This week we will continue to learn about solving linear inequalities! The students will take home homework which will prepare them for their Chapter 2 quiz! 

    10/21/2024: This week the stars completed their chapter 2 midquiz and began learning about how to graph, write and solve compound inequalities! 

    10/28/2024: This week the stars will learn about the last topic in Chapter 2 called solving absolute value linear inequalities. We will then review all topics learned throughout Chapter 2 and take our last exam for marking period 1. The answer key for the chapter review will be posted on Google classroom. We will also recognize and celebrate our teammates for being star students!

    11/11/2024: This week the stars will begin Unit 3 Functions! This is exciting because the first lesson builds upon prior skills learned in 8th grade such as relation versus functions. We will learn how to describe characteristics of functions and determine whether a function is linear or nonlinear. Students will take notes in their notebooks for reference and to study, complete practice in their workbook and utilize Delta Math! In addition, we will conference and discuss marking period 1 grades and I will give feedback to work on for marking period 2.

    11/25/2024: This week the stars will complete their mid-chapter 3 quiz on linear functions! We reviewed in class and the stars practiced their skills using Delta Math.
