4-5 Systems of Linear Inequalities – We continued to practice graphing linear inequalities to solve systems of linear inequalities on the same coordinate plane. Then we learned to solve real-world problems by using systems of inequalities.
Assignment: For homework complete assigned problems.

In today's class, Cameron worked on some activities that relate to everything we learned about cell structure and function. This included labeling a plant and animal cell, reading a guided reading passage that had questions afterward about the passage, and doing a crossword puzzle using the new definitions he has learned.

2nd review of pages 34-35, then study of pages 36, 38-39

4-5 Systems of Linear Inequalities – We combined the understanding of systems of linear equations and the graphing of linear inequalities to solve systems of linear inequalities on the same coordinate plane. We discovered that the overlapping region is the solution. We also learned to write systems of inequalities by analyzing a graph.

Today we reviewed all the vocabulary learned and then we studied the vocabulary related to breakfast.

The United Kingdom has a new prime minister taking office this week. But, the new position won't be easy. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak takes over at a time of widespread economic turmoil through the country. He and his wife both met as MBA students at Stanford University. His family's business ventures have amounted to more wealth than England's royal family!

In today's class, we continued our discussion on cell structure and function, including learning about the permeability of the cell membrane, osmosis and the different types of solutions (including isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic). We also did some practice problems regarding the types of solutions.

I subbed for Cameron's business class today. First, Cameron viewed and took notes on how to write a business plan. Then, he typed his responses to his teacher's questions in a Word document. The questions addressed the topic of brand loyalty.

We reviewed all of page 31, then studied pages 32-35.

The Second Industrial Revolution, also known as the Technological Revolution, occurred from 1870 to 1914. While the First Industrial Revolution created advances in the textile and farming industry, the Second Industrial Revolution advanced transportation, electricity, and oil industries. The most important inventions in the Second Industrial Revolution include the telegraph, the telephone, the modern lightbulb, the assembly line, the automobile, aircraft, and the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the US. Inventors such as Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison greatly revolutionized modern life and increased the production of goods and services. Transportation and communication methods became more accessible to Americans who lived in cities. During this time, a large group of inventions were introduced to the public and transformed the way people communicated, traveled, and worked.
