I hope everyone had a great weekend. Important dates: October 30th is our first harvest ball. I hope you all can join us!
Last wek I attached the parent letter for unit 3. Please take a moment to look at it. Thisweek our focus will be on algebraic expressions, absolute value and one step equations with all four operations. There will be a quiz on Friday covering sections 1-2, 1-3, 1-7 and 1-8.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Because of testing, we got a little behind so we didn't finish unit 2 completely at the end of the first nine weeks. Unit 2 will count 10% of 2nd nine weeks grade. We will begin our next unit on Friday and continue on for approximately 4 weeks. Please see the attached parent letter to see what section we will cover and example problems. If you are readind my blog, please email me and let me know. Thanks and have a great weekend!
Important Dates 10/15 - Early Release, 10/17-Report Cards go home
There will be a test on Wednesday covering sections 4-5, 4-6, 4-8. The test will also cover the difference between rational and irrational numbers.
We are not done with Unit 2 so it will carry over to the 2nd nine weeks and count as 10% of the toal grade. Our focus this week will be on simplifing radical expressions and rationalizing the denominators. This material will be coming from the Algebra 1 textbook.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Important Dates: 10/10 - End of the first nine weeks (hard to believe)
10/17 - Report Cards go home
This week we will be focusing on square roots, square root expressions and estimating square roots. Depending on how the week goes, we may work on the Pythagorean theorem. Next week we will be working on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing radicals. This will be a particularly hard skill. There will also be a quiz on Friday covering the first 20 perfect squares.
I am sorry for not updating the blog last week. Because of testing, I wasn't sure how long I would see each class so I didn't know what I would be doing. On Monday we reviewed section 4-3 and began section 4-4 on scientific notation. Tomorrow we will review sections 4-1 and 4-2 and Thursday will 4-3 and 4-4 will be reviewed. There will be a test on Friday covering section 4-1 to 4-4.
Important Upcoming Dates:
10/10/08- end of the first nine weeks.

Important Dates
September 17 - Progress Reports come home and CoGat testing begins
September 22nd -26th - IOWA testing begins
We began working on Chapter 4 this week. We will be covering the first 8 lessons in this chapter and then using outside resources for our sections on radicals. I am asking the students to go ahead and to start memorizing the first 20 perfect squares because this will make working on radicals easier. Because of testing, every class will not meet every day. As of now, there is a tentative math quiz scheduled for Wednesday over the first 10 perfect squares and section 4-1. I hope to have this unit finished by the end of the first nine weeks. If you are reading the blog, please email me and let me know. I hope everyone has a great week!
This is what we will be covering in Unit 2. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
This week we will be finishing up Unit 1. Our last section is 10-8 which is the counting principal. There will be a test on Friday covering section 10-5 and 10-8. After that we will be moving into Unit 2. Please email me if you are reading my blog.
I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend. This week we are going to continue working on independent and dependent events (section 10-5). On Friday, there will be a quiz on dependent events. We will also be starting the counting principal and combinations (section 10-8). My plan is for us to be finished with this unit by next Wednesday the 10th. I have tentatively scheduled a test for next Wednesday for sections 10-5 and 10-8. After that we will moving to Unit 2 which is on exponents and square roots. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. My email is Bhavna.Chokshi@cobbk12.org
Please note that this blog is for periods 2 and 7.
