2-1 Slope – Cameron practiced finding the slope from a pair of points. He labeled the first set of points as the coordinates (x1, y1) and the second set of points as (x2, y2). Then he practiced using the formula for the slope:
m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x2). Next he practiced finding the y-intercept by substituting a point on the line and the slope into the point-slope form of a linear equation.
Assignment: Complete the assigned problems for homework.
Cameron was supposed to begin World History class today. School was notified during 3rd period that he would be absent for history class, but in attendance tomorrow.
The 7 main worldwide regions are the 7 continents, including North America, South America, Eurasia, Africa, Australia, Oceania, and Antarctica. Eurasia is a combination of Europe and Asia, with Eastern Europe and Western Asia acting as a subtle border between the two. Only North and South America are in the Western Hemisphere and are separated by the Isthmus of Panama; the remaining continents are in the Eastern Hemisphere. Antarctica is unique since it is the only continent to have no permanent human civilizations. Africa, a continent with great geographic diversity, has its regions separated mostly by the Saharan Desert. We then reviewed the major time zones in the US: Eastern (Pennsylvania and other east coast states), Central (Illinois, Wisconsin, and more), Mountain (Arizona, Montana, and more), Pacific (California and other west coast states). Alaska and Hawaii-Aleutian standard time is also used. Important figures in the history of time zones include Sir Sandford Fleming, who first proposed time zones, and Benjamin Franklin, who first proposed daylight saving time.

Lesson Comments
This lesson was bumped as Cameron was absent yesterday for a scheduled history class.
Unit 2: Personality Introduction & Baseline Assessments in the assignment "A Critical Look at Personality" on Teams; selection of Unit 2 novel for study... he chose A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah; finished Invisibilia podcast episode: The Personality Myth.
2-1 Slope-Intercept Form – We reviewed the steps to graph a linear equation from the slope-intercept form. Then we reviewed the steps to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form from a graph.
Assignment: For homework complete assigned problems.
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.
