Hello Everyone! This week, we will be continuing our study of linear equations, expanding into both slope intercept form and standard form of  linear equations, culminating on Friday with slope Jeopardy. This week, students will be responsible for only two assignment; weekly notes and homework. Homework consists of 27 problems. Roughly the first half of which will be taught on Tuesday while the other half will be taught on Wednesday and Thursday. Throughout the homework, retrospective problems are scattered in order to reexpose students to older subject matter and call back to adjacent topics.

Hello Everyone! This week, we will be opening the week by closing our third unit of the year by taking the chapter 3 test. Then, we will open chapter 4 which focuses on linear algebra. Students will be introduced to graphing linear equations throughout the week. First with sloped lines, then vertical and horizontal lines. This week, students will have three assignments to complete; the aforementioned chapter three test, the week's notes, and finally the weekly homework. This week, the homework will have 30 problems. The first 10 are retrospective practice from the last two weeks. The following 20 problems will be taught between Thursday and Thursday, the majority of which will be on Tuesday and Wednesday with problems from Thursday dispersed intermittently.

Hello All! This week, we will conclude our study of chapter 2: Transformations. We will spend the first two days of the week preparing for our test, on Wednesday we will test, and Thursday will be spent in advocacy activities. Students will be responsible for two assignments this week; the Chapter 2 test and the week 8 homework (24 problems or 8 per-night if completed in equal measurements on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights.). At the end of this week, we will have parent teacher conferences and then we will be on our fall break!

Hello All, This week, our students will continue in their study of transformations as we dive deeper in the subject matter, exploring changes in area and composite shapes within the coordinate plane. Students will be responsible for three assignments this week. Their weekly homework(twenty-four problems, due on Monday 9/23), their weekly notes (Friday 9/20), and the sections 2.5-2.7 quiz which will be taken on Wednesday  9/18. This week is also important as it is the end of the grading window for quarter one. Please remember that all late and missing assignments are due on Wednesday 9/18/2024.

Hello All! This week, we will be continuing our study of transformations. We will start the week by identifying the types of transformations that fall into the category of "rigid motion". Then, we will start to study dilations, which scale up and down the size of figures. We will have a quiz on the beginning sections of chapter 2 on Tuesday, this week's notes will be due on Friday, and the homework for this week will consist of thirty problems (broken out to between five and six problems per night if completed in equal segments). As we come to the end of the first quarter, we are working to bolster our students' academic fortitude and stamina to adequately prepare them for their high school experience.

Dear Parents, 

 

I can’t express my excitement to dive into this school year, to develop relationships with each of you, and to help foster your student’s learning and love of math throughout the year. While I’m certain this isn’t new information to you, the parent-teacher relationship is key in ensuring the quality of your students’ education. For this reason, I am making it my goal to keep consistent communication with all of you throughout this year. Along with this letter I will be giving each of you some helpful instructions on how you can access your student’s Microsoft teams dashboard and Big Ideas Math account to keep up to date with assignments, grades, and assessments throughout this year. You will be able to access online textbooks, view assignments, monitor homework, access my notes and the slides I use in class, and make use of a wide library of extra practice resources from these two platforms. In addition, I would recommend downloading both our Westgate school app and the Infinite campus app (available on apple and android). These will allow you to get updates about community events from the school and notifications for grades as they are uploaded, missing or late work, and for field trips and events. I will be regularly updating my Edlio page (found on the school website) and I am available via email at: [email protected] or by phone; Call the school at: (303) 452-0967 and ask for me. 

 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or if you ever need anything.
