Chipping Away at the Notion of Graphing Quadratics
Home Nugget #56
Assigned on Wednesday April 24, 2013
Due on Friday April 26, 2013 (students will be on a field trip on Thursday)
Solve all four problems (#9, 22, 28 and 29) from the 2005 MCAS that I provided you with in class today. The focus is on accurate solutions and adherence to instructions (giving explanations only when asked to do so). You do NOT need to provide synopses for these problems as they are not expected on the actual exam. Expect to grade these in class on Friday.
Furthermore, we watched and discussed a video today on an alternative method for graphing a quadratic function. Additionally, at the end of the video, you are given a clear sense of where the equation for the line of symmetry comes from. You can find the video here..
I will ask you to use this alternative strategy in class on Friday as well as expect you to provide an explanation for the origins of the equation for the line of symmetry.

Assigned on Monday April 22, 2013
Due on Wednesday April 24, 2013
Chapter 8 Form 2D Open-Response Practice Test in anticipation of a summative Chapter 8 test this Wednesday. While you may report answers/solutions on the paper itself, be sure to provide evidence/explanations on separate paper as well.
Please bear in mind that term 4 marks close on May 3 which leaves us with only 10 days in this marking period.

Demonstrating Pride in Your Factoring Abilities
Home Nugget #52
Assigned on Friday April 5, 2013
Due on Monday April 8, 2013
In Algebra textbook,
Page 734 lesson 8-4
Numbers # 22 - 27
AND
Page 751 # 1 - 10 (all problems in this section require a synopsis given that they are word problems)
NOTE WELL!!!!!
This lesson will count as a take-home quiz. Why? We have worked on factoring in chapter 8 extensively, mostly using our strengths in multiplying polynomials in chapter 7. We've had copious conversations in class and you've had several home nuggets on these topics. It is time to demonstrate that you are willing to take time and resolve these problems thoroughly and accurately.
