Sub Plans Wednesday

I'm sorry that I am not her on our first constructed drawing day.  You should still be able to start via videos.  There are 2 rules that must be followed ALWAYS
1) You my only draw a line or an arc with a compass or a ruler.  NO freehand drawing.
2) You may only draw a line that connects two points of intersection. No drawing a line because you think it looks right.

These drawings are graded at the beginning of following days class, so you are turning these in and they do count.
10 points- best in class
9.5 points- correctly constructed with additional constructions
8.5 points- correctly constructed and colored nicely with the use of a rule on the edges
7.5 points- correctly constructed not colored (exactly like the example)
6.5 points- not correctly constructed

Your first drawing is of a cube with a corner taken out.  The example is in the top left corner of the video.
Here are the how to videos.  You are going to have to pause the video as the students follow the instructions.  Try not to move to the next step until everyone has successfully gotten their drawing to look like the one on the screen.

Good luck!

cd cube part 2

This is how the drawing go.  We find one hidden line together an the rest is up to you to figure out.  Once your drawing is completed, feel free to get your markers from your locker to color.  You can also add a smalled cube inside the missing corner for the 9.5.

Homework assignment sheet

OK, here we go...
I am not making an assignment sheet from here to the end of the year.  Instead, I am going to give you a list of work in the order that we will do it as soon as the alegebra test is complete.  Your homework until the test will be work sheets.

1) 2 days of end of the year portfolio work
2) Constructed drawing 1: Cube
3) Constructed drawing 2: interlocking triangles
4) Constructed drawing 3: Interlocking squares
5) Constructed drawing 4: Octoburst
6) Constructed drawing 5: 5-pointed star (hard)
7) Constructed drawing 6: You choose a new pattern to figure out from a pattern book
8) Constructed drawing 7: Final project

For the constructed drawings you will need a pencil (machanical will wokr best) and a ruler (all of mine are gone, so you must provide them).  I have cheap compasses from yur supply packs, but if you have a nice one, you should bring it.

Friday sub plans

Mrs. Costello,

The schedule for the day is on the 'dumb' white board.

1) Please have a volunteer from the first class take out the recycling bin.
2) Have both classes turn in their algebra sheets (to be graded by the student assistance last class)
3) Have the the student assistance (1st: Max, 2nd: Liam return last weeks algebra sheet)
4) Click on the warm-up below and display it for the students to do.
5) Once everyone is done, make sure the speaker is plugged in and the volume is turned up.
Warm-up

6) once students have had 10 minutes to work, play these videos that go over the problems
review of systems warm up 1
review systems of equation warm up 2
7) Pass out both work sheets (I think I left them on the chairs on the from table).
8) Play this video
Launch
review of systems of equations launch
Students should work in pairs, no more, on the sheets.  There will be 2 competitions for reward squares today between the classes so please make a note in your sub notes which class 1) had the most completed worksheets and 2) which class was the most curtious.
Students should keep their work and place it in the back cover of their portfolio folder.

For # 20, all you do is to substitude y in for x so you get
7y - 2y = 5
5y = 5
y = 1
Since x = y, then x also = 1
the lines cross at (1,1)
