Open Enrollment Is Now Closed
Algebra 1: You may reach me by email and I will get back to you as soon as I can! Don't forget Michael.harris@hopecharter.org for tutoring help also.
Quarter 4 Week 7:
Zoom:
Tuesday for 8th grade Algebra 1
Thursday for 9th and 10th grade Algebra 1
This week complete A8 and A9 Geometry level IXL
Quarter 4 Week 6:
Monday: Last week you completed Geometry Level V! Find the Vertex of the parabola IXl to 80%. Please raise your score to 90%.
Tuesday: Geometry Level V! Graph Parabolas IXL to 50%. It gets into vertex form above 50%. I am not going to teach that this year.
Wednesday: For the rest of the week work on and finish Geometry Level A6.
Thursday and Friday: Finish your work by Friday. I am available for zoom tutoring this week (and do not forget Mr. Harris) but our regular time was taken by book and locker return. Please contact me if you want to see me. Next week we will meet on Tuesday.
Quarter 4 Week 5:
Monday: Do Geometry Level V! Find the Vertex of the parabola (only work to 80%)
Watch for an invitation either Tuesday or Wednesday for a Zoom Class
Tuesday: Finish this IXL: Geometry Level V! Find the Vertex of the parabola (only work to 80%)
Wednesday: Watch this video: https://youtu.be/VdVPg04t_6w and take notes. I do not need to see them.
Thursday: Find the Vertex (x, y) and email a copy of your work with all the steps.
y = 3x^2 + 18x + 13 Remember the formula for the line of symmetry is -b/2a, then substitute your x value into the equation everywhere there is an x. Your answer will be a coordinate point (x, y).
Friday: Find the y interecept for the equation Thursday and email it to me.
y = 3x^2 + 18x + 13 Remember to find the y intercept is it where the x = 0. If you put a zero in for every x you will find it.
Quarter 4 Week 4:
Monday: Let's Review a little more from back in the good old days, when we were in school. Do IXL Geometry Level A3 today and tomorrow.
Tuesday: Complete Geometry Level A3 today.
Wendesday: Send me the answers to these questions via email. (No pictures attached please.)
1. Which would you rather have, $1,000,000 today or 1 cent then doubled everyday for 30 days? Why?
2. If you could travel back in time 3 years and give yourself advice, what would you say?
Thursday: Work on Geometry IXl Level A1
Friday: Finish Geometry IXL Level A1
Quarter 4 Week 3:
Monday: Let's review a little from back in the day, remember when we were still in school? Do IXL in the Geometry level A4 today and tomorrow. (Yes, I meant Geometry level.)
Tuesday: Geometry A4 must be completed by 3pm today. Yes it is Geometry level, but it is an Algebra skill. I am sending all students who did not Zoom with me Friday an invitation to meet with me. It is mandatory. If you cannot meet at the time I send you should tell me right away so I can include you in another class. You are getting a grade for this.
Wednesday: Watch this video and take notes: https://youtu.be/IxL3MwencRg Draw a picture of a fraction with an angry bird in the numerator and 2 apples in the denominator.
Thursday: Do Geometry IXL level V (New: Find the axis of symmetry of a parabola.) It does not have a number, but is 3 titles below V8. The IXl is due Friday at 3pm.
Friday: Legacy Students will check in, Hope Students will have their check in Next Tuesday. Geometry IXL V New! Find the axis of Symmetry of a parabola is due today at 3pm.
Quarter 4 Week 2:
Monday: Watch this video and take notes: https://youtu.be/KRwb4YhQPwA . Do IXL BB1. It is okay to do this over today and tomorrow. There will be a lot more practice after this.
Tuesday: Watch this video and take notes: https://youtu.be/9_Ylt2_Kinw . Add to your notes from yesterday by drawing and labeling a parabola that crosses the x-axis two times. Be sure to label the following: x-intercepts (also called the zeros), the y-intercept (where it crossed the y-axis), the minimum, the line of symmetry (also called the axis of symmetry, AoS is the abreviation). Email me a picture of the parabola with your labels by 3pm on Tuesday. I will accept it on Wednesday for those with extended time accommodations.
Wednesday: Watch this video and take notes: https://youtu.be/jgHPXoh5MPs You may begin to do Math XL: Intro to graphing and finding zeros. It it only 10 questions and must be done by 3pm on Thursday for credit. I will accept it on Friday from those with extended time accommodations.
Thursday: Factor then find the zeros for this problem. Include it in your notes and email them to me by 3pm today. I will accept on Friday for those with extended time accomodations. 20x^2 + 14x + 2 = 0
Friday: Sign into your weekly check in. In order to receive credit for this week you must: sign in with your real name, show your face without a hood or mask, be prepared with pencil/pen and paper, participate the whole time, be on screen the whole time, answer questions, and show your work.
Quarter 4 Week 1:
You may contact me at roberta.vanhouten@hopecharter.org between 10 and 2, Monday through Friday and I will get right back with you. We can use zoom if you need to see me working a problem. If not, we can communicate by phone or email and I will support you all I can from here.
Some students have asked for clarification so I am providing more detail to the following. Please read the following again so you catch what I have added.
Watch this video first:
Growth Mindset by Henry Cloud. If you roll your cursor over the words, Growth Mindset, it is a link to the video.
Send me an email at Roberta.vanhouten@hopecharter.org and tell me what you learned, that you have read through these instructions, and you are ready to get started.
This will be your first grade of the quarter.
I will be happy to supply accurate teaching and helpful practice, but it will be up to you to learn how your brain works and faithfully complete the number of repetitions needed to make permanent changes to your memory. If you want to go to college, dual enroll, earn bright futures or succeed in Geometry or Algebra 2 you will want to do the following:
Day 1 of the week: Take notes on the orange section and as you watch the videos. Draw pictures, make them colorful, rewrite your notes or rewatch the video until you can master the examples. Make up one or two new examples and do them correctly. You will have to send me a picture of your notes each Friday. I will grade your notes on completeness and how well you elaborated, drew pictures (that pertained to the topic), made them colorful, or other signs of use like more examples, a title, a summary, etc. Your notes will be a grade. Then do 2 or 3 problems from each of the homework assignments (Math XL and IXLs).
Remember the internet is full of great tutorials and I am available to help you if you email me. I can set up Zoom or we can work on facetime. I will answer you promtly between 10 and 2 pm. There will be a delay if it is outside that time frame.
Day 2 of each week: Work with your notes again, circle key words and write clarifications in the margin. Make sure you fully understand all of them or work until you do. Then do 7 problems from each homework assigned for that week.
Day 3 of each week: Review your notes for at least 5 mintues. I suggest you write in the margins the essential parts of the instruction. Email me one test question you would write based on what you learned. Be sure to include a complete answer. Then open the assignments and do 7 correctly each day from each of them.
Day 4 of each week: Review your notes for at least 5 minutes. Place a title at the top and a summary at the bottom. Feel free to add pictures that pertain to the lesson so that you understand it better. Then do 7 more problems from each of the homeworks assigned for that week.
Day 5 of each week: Review your notes for at least 5 minutes and try to quiz yourself on the important parts. Add a little to them and email a picture of them to Mrs .VanHouten...yes, it will be a grade. Then send me the answer these questions.
Title of the skill:
a. What 3 things do I have to know to do this skill?
b. What 2 things are essential not to forget if I am going to be accurate?
At the end of the week you will have more to do and that is on purpose. I will add more content next week and you will continue to do 7 problems from each assignment until they are done. Yes, I am starting slowly this week so you have time to do all the parts well. Next week we will pick up steam.
Homework will be in green.
Here is where we left off:
This is the standard form of Trinomials: Ax2 + Bx + C remember that only means that the Trinomial (3 wheels on a tricycle) is in an order that makes sense.
Factoring: Watch the following as a review
https://virtualnerd.com/algebra-1/polynomials-and-factoring/trinomial-factorization/leading-coefficient-1/trinomial-factorization-example Video reviewing how to factor a trinomial with A = 1 (coefficient of 1 before the X2)
If that one does not work try this video: Factoring Trinomials
Do this IXL: AA4
One section had this teaching and the second did not so you might have seen this material also.
Watch the following:
https://youtu.be/R3PFOPZJP5o Video on how to factor a trinomial with A > 1 (the coefficient before the X2) This guy is a ham so feel free to start this at 1.43.
Do this IXL: AA5
Do this IXL: Z9
Do this Math XL: Factoring Quadratics
I will post more on Friday, but you can start with these.
Mrs. V.
