Mr. Murphy's Algebra Classes http://www.dragonometry.net Mr. Murphy's Algebra Classes. en-us 5/17/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we revisited multiplying radicals from 11-8. Students worked in class on this worksheet (including a chance for bonus points). Tomorrow we'll tackle division.

]]> 5/16/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we worked in Lesson 11-9 with solving radical equations. Students were assigned this worksheet. (3rd period only: #7-9, and pick five from #19-28).

]]> 5/15/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we took our quiz from p. 831, then students were assigned a review of the last few lessons, also from p. 831, #1-2, 4-5, 9-11, 17-18, 20, 23-26.

]]> 5/14/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we worked in Lesson 11-8, Multiplying Radicals. After reviewing the concepts with some example in our notes, students were assigned #1-3, 7-9, 13-15 in due in class and 27-44 due tomorrow as homework, both from page 819.

We also discussed our quiz tomorrow, where I'll choose three questions from #2, 3, 8, 14, 17, 19, 23, 24 from p. 831. ]]> 5/11/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we worked in Lesson 11-7, adding and subtracting radical expressions. The assignment is the blue worksheet.

]]> 5/9/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we worked in Lesson 11-6, simplifying radical expressions involving only numbers. We'll add variables tomorrow. The assignment is from p. 808, #1-3, 5-7, 11-13, 17-19, 23-27, 32-33, 36-37, 40, 44, 53-56.

]]> 5/8/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we began Lesson 11-5. Our next unit will include 11-5 to 11-9. The assignement is from p. 801, #1-9, 11-12, 14-16, 18-20, 28, 31, 38, 39. Don't forget our two-question quiz tomorrow! You already know the questions and the answers. :)

]]> 5/7/2012 http://dragonometry.net With all kinds of excitement after the flooding last week and the power issues today, we were back at it. In Algebra we completed our second required persuasive essay. There was no additional assignment.

]]> 5/2/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we wrapped up our review for tomorrow's Chapter 9 Test. We spent much of the class covering these solutions to the study guide. Students were also assigned 9-1 Practice A/B as a final review of our concepts from earlier in the chapter.

]]> 5/1/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we worked on our Chapter 9 Test Study Guide. These problems follow the exact format of the test. Students completed a minimum of 12 in class, with the remainder of the 24 due at the beginning of class tomorrow. We will wrap up our preparation tomorrow and take the test on Thursday.

]]> 4/30/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we continued our work in Lesson 9-9 with the quadratic formula. After practicing the concepts, students were assigned 9-9 Practice A/B.

]]> 4/25/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we worked in Lesson 9-9 with the quadratic formula. This lesson focused on the development of the formula. While 3rd and 4th hours were assigned #1-26, 36-38, 53, 57-59 form p. 657, the activities for the ground breaking this afternoon meant that 5th and 6th hours did not get those problems assigned. All classes can wait until Friday when we revisit the formula again to complete the assignment.

]]> 4/23/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we began working in Lesson 9-7, solving quadratic equations using square roots. The assignment is #1-7, 9, 11-22, 24, 29-36, 52-54, 56, 59 (write the equations on 59), 62.

]]> 4/20/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we completed an in class assignment/quiz from the study guide/review on pages 662-664. There was no additional assignment. See you Monday!

]]> 4/18/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we continued our work in Lesson 9-4. After reviewing the concepts and answering questions from the previous assignment, students were assigned #1-22, 29-32, 34 (pp. 613-619). (Also, 5th hour was not assigned the book assignment as we ran out of time.)
