5-1 The Absolute Value function – We learned that the axis of symmetry is the vertical line that passes through the vertex. We learned to calculate and interpret the rate of change of an absolute value function over a specified interval.
Assignment: For homework complete assigned problems.

Teacher did planning for future sessions with Ben.

Andrew begins exercises from his Algebra I, Prentice Hall textbook, solving proportions scale to actual size. He also practiced several multiplication facts.

5-1 The Absolute Value function – We learned the values that cause a vertical or horizontal shift in the absolute value function. Then we identified the features on the absolute value function that cause the graph to be compressed or stretched vertically.

Andrew continued exercises from his Algebra I, Prentice Hall textbook, solving proportions story problems.

Ben continued exercises from his Algebra I, Prentice Hall textbook, solving proportions story problems.

We finished the test on Topic 4 and began to discuss step functions.

5-1 The Absolute Value function – We learned that the graph of an absolute value function has a vertex at the turning point, which represents either the minimum or the maximum value of the function.
