I have heard from several of you that you did struggle with last night's homework. SO with that in mind, we will make sure we go over the work carefully. Please come in with your questions you have so those are cleared up also. We will make sure we cover linear functions, function rules, and the horizontal and vertical function exceptions. A lot of material to review today.

Good Monday Morning,

Another week to learn. Yippee....
In math class we are plugging away with graphing functions. Today we are working on Linear Functions. What does linear remind you of? We will be working with function rules and getting equations using 2 variables into function form. Oh yeah, what is a function?

Oh Happy Friday,

Yeah, we made it to the end of the week! It seemed long even with the snow day on Wednesday.

In math class we are plugging away with graphing functions. Are you getting the hang of it? We'll be playing with function rules and graphing in class so bring in your laptops.

Homework: Enjoy your weekend.

Happy Thursday Morning,

I hope you all enjoyed your snow day yesterday.

In math class we will be going over functions and vocabulary associated with this. Range, domain, input, output, x,y, graphing, and function. We will review what makes a function and what a function is not. After reviewing the homework, we will move onto using our laptops to graph the functions we solved. We will move onward to scatter plots and the vocabulary related to those: positive and negative relationships and ordered pairs.

Homework: pages 547-548 #3-14 all

Good Tuesday Morning,

From your comments, I know some of you are anxious about functions. Don't panic yet as they will become a bit more understandable today. We went over a few things about functions yesterday and will review them today to help cement the concepts in. X, domain, and input are the same things, while Y, output and range are also interchangeable. As some of you guessed, this will be leading up to graphing the ordered pairs(x,y) we solved in the homework. We will review last night's homework and continue on with the function rules and tables today. So hang on and keep an open mind in class today.

Homework: Page 543

Today is White Board Tuesday for a review on working with fractions and negative integers and the 4 operations. Anyone still struggling with these, needs to come in during tutorial.

Oh Happy New Year to All,

It is nice to be back. I have missed all of you. I hope you got in lots of fun times while you were out.

In math class we are moving on with FUNCTIONS. This is a tricky section, but can be fairly fun once you catch the rhythm or patterns. The vocabulary is extensive and you will need to learn them- relation, input, output, function, domain, and range are a few to begin with. We will try to cover these and begin the work today in chapter 11.
