Can We Cover Chapter 3 ...

by the end of the trimester? I think so and you should have a strong opinion tomorrow. I am checking the Lesson Masters and someone did not pass his/hers in. Just when I baked some cookies!

I expect questions tomorrow. Your quiz is on Thursday afternoon since you may be busy with Open House in the morning.

Check out the new link, SAT Math Problem of the Day. If you go to this site every day until you are ready to take the SAT's (in your junor year of high school), you will have answered over 1200 math questions!!

Homework:

  1. Check all parts of Lesson 3-3 that have not been corrected and 3-4, CTI.
  2. Finish Applying and Review in Lesson 3-4.
  3. Write a pithy comment on the blog. Most of you need the credit to raise your grade.

Mrs. Burke,

I meant to come by the math room at break to ask you my question but I had to ask Mrs. Gallo and Mrs. Piwko questions on the homework as well! I'm sorry! I will get the work to you tomorrow morning!

But I definitely think we could finish chapter three by the end of the trimester! I think that the solve and check thing is really easy! I'm really getting into this chapter!

Mrs. Burke,

Hey I wasn't @ school today because I had a virus...at least that's what the doctor told me. You can expect me tomorrow though!!! I'll be ready for our quiz.

I meant to tell you that I am so glad we took the time to go over the Pithagorum Therum. There were like 2 questions on the AMC 8 that I used it for. The 'PITHY' only works for right triangles right? I personally think that the practice test that you gave us was a ton harder than the real thing. For future referance would you rather us write the actaul square root if it is irrational or put the square root symbol and the original number?

EX: Square root of 17 or 4.1231.....

Thanks!!!

Question

For Lesson 3-4 #1a...I divided by seven instead of multiplying by 1/7. I think this is an equivalanet step. because i got the same answer and i thin mabe this is just a short cut. But if you see this could you comment on it before tomorrow's quiz???
