We practiced adding and subtracting polynomials using the Laws of Exponents. Then we practiced factoring out the GCF and substituting for variables to solve equations. I sent Sam videos and examples of finding the slope-intercept form of a linear equation using two points on the line.

2-1 Slope-Intercept Form – We learned how to identify a positive or negative slope from the slant of the line. Then we reviewed the formula to find the slope when you have 2 points on the line. We documented steps to graph and write a linear equation. Next we practiced finding an equation of a line that passes through 2 points. We practiced word problems where the point-slope formula helped us find the answer.
Assignment: For homework complete assigned problems.

Ben completed several expressions from the algebra Prentice Hall textbook, order of operations and evaluating expressions.

Andrew completed several exercises from the ixl.com website from the sections on square and cube roots.

I planned for Math.

2-1 Slope-Intercept Form – We learned how to write linear equations in two variables using slope-intercept form to represent the relationship between two quantities. Then we interpreted the slope and the intercept of a linear model. We practiced solving linear equations in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and the line intersects the y-axis at (0, b), so the y-intercept is b.

I gave Sam an absolute value inequality to solve. Then I went over the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. I showed him how to graph it, find the slope, and find the equation from a graph. Next we went over how to find the slope from two points with the slope formula. Then we went over how to find an equation of a line that passes through two points if neither is the y-intercept. Next we learned the properties of quadratic functions in standard form. I explained how to find the axis of symmetry, vertex, and y-intercept from the standard form of a quadratic equation. In order for Sam to complete the end-of-chapter quiz on quadratics and zero product property I located videos on each concept. I emailed him each video and the end-of-chapter quiz.
