Demonstrating Confident Mastery of Monomial and Polynomial Operations
Home Nugget #48
Assigned on Monday March 25, 2013
Due on Wednesday March 27, 2013
In anticipation of our summative chapter 7 assessment, work through all 20 problems from the Chapter 7 Form 2B test sheet distributed in class today. While you may record your answer on the sheet itself, you must provide evidence for your solutions on separate paper.
Addendum! Since we'll be displaced for the next two days due to MCAS make-ups, you might end up entering your practice test data on Monday if we don't have access to our class clickers. Additionally, today we agreed that you'd take a long look at Olympiad #30 and focus on finding solutions so that you can compose narratives for # 1 and 5 and synopses/solutions for #2, 3, 4.

Brushing Up on Lessons 7-1 to 7-5
Home Nugget #42
Assigned on Friday March 9, 2013
Due on Monday March 12, 2013
Given our intense work on lessons 7-1 to 7-5 this last week and a half, we are due for an assessment to gauge your mastery of the content. We have solved dozens of problems in class, collaborated on problem-solving strategies and had informal assessments galore.
This weekend is your opportunity to leaf through these five lessons and to target as many problems as needed for you to claim preparedness for any quiz/test that comes your way. Remember that solutions to all odd-numbered solutions are in the back of your textbook and that we have class notes that detail the progression of how we made sense of all concepts. Your performance level is in YOUR hands!

Using Math Olympiad #27, generate narratives for # 1, 2, and 3 and generate a synopses (accompanied by solutions) for # 4 and 5.
You have now seen, discussed and practiced this skill a number of times and the expectation for strong performance is high. Furthermore, given the amount of time you are being afforded to complete the task, it is assumed that your five solutions will be accurate.

Given our conversations in class today, it became very apparent that students need to re-examine and solve problems 2 - 7 from lesson 7-2 Word Problem Practice and write a narrative for each in doing so.
Then, based on our explorations of polynomials over the last two days, you are to attempt the following in the textbook:
