Nov. 28 - quiz + section 3.6
Dec. 2 - section 3.7 and 3.8 Dec. 4 - chapter test - factoring polynomials Dec. 6 - section 4.1 and 4.2 Dec. 10 - section 4.3 Dec. 12 - quiz (4.1-4.3), section 4.4 Dec. 16 - section 4.5 Dec. 18 - quiz (4.1-4.5) Thursday Nov. 28 - will be a quiz, not a unit test. There will be questions on expanding and factoring. Factoring you should know how to take out a common factor and how to decompose a trinomial into two binomials. Quiz will take about half of the class. There will be new material on Thursday AND you can expect a unit test sometime next week.
Thank you to Pari and Ji Sung who pointed out to me a serious mistake in my answer key and the way I explained/marked question #2 on the quiz. See this video for an excellent explanation of how to find the LCM of three or more numbers. This also works for two numbers, but what works for two numbers will not necessarily work for three!! Homework - factoring practice
pg. 199 #18 - a, c, e, g; #19-21 all Important dates:
- Thursday Nov. 21 - quiz - factoring (of numbers and polynomials), finding GCF of 2 or 3 numbers, factoring polynomials using GCF, factoring trinomials into a product of binomials - Thursday Nov. 28 - factoring unit test - we will spend part of Thursday's class and next Tuesday's class doing review. I needed to move the test from Dec. 2 because reports are due and I need time to mark tests and catch anyone who was absent to write their test (and for people to finish up in an LSP block, etc.) Finish as many of the examples on the notes as possible
Practice pg. 167 #14, 15, 21 No specific homework, BUT make sure you have finished the front and back of the first page of notes handed out (both the algebra tiles examples and the multiplication questions on the other side)
Finish exercises on the back of the notes package from last day (do the 1, 2, or 3 star examples and practice)
You should be comfortable with finding the GCF for a pair of numbers, answering word problems involving GCF, and factoring binomials and trinomials by using the GCF method.
Coming up: - checkpoint on Monday Nov. 4 - more factoring on Wednesday Nov. 6 |
