Pre-Algebra students had to work on a word problem for homework.

Jason is buying wings and hot dogs for a party. One package of wings costs $7. Hot dogs cost $4 per pound. He must spend less than $40
Write an inequality to represent the cost of Jason's food for the party

Jason knows that he will be buying at least 5 pounds of hot dogs.

Write an inequality to represent the situation.

Graph both inequalities and shade the intersection. 

Then identify two solutions and justify your answers. 

Course 2 students have been doing a great job of working together in their groups. There has been some great conversation about surface area of prisms and surface area of cylinders. 

Week of 5/6/2013

Course 2 students will be taking a chapter 10 test on Friday 5/10.
This test will only cover

• 10.1 Angles
• 10.2 Special Pairs of Angles (names and finding missing degrees) 
• 10.3 Triangles (classify by angles and side lengths etc) 
• 10.4 Polygons (names and formulas) 
• 10.5 Similar and  Congruent polygons 
• 10.6 Using proportions with similar polygon

This is a very heavy vocabulary section. Although there is not a part on the test strictly for vocabulary this is application of it. A good idea is to make note cards to help practice!!

Pre Algebra students will be taking a quest on Thursday 5/9

This Quest will cover 

• table/graph
• slope formula (finding a missing point)
• slope intercept formula
• point slope formula
• x and y intercepts 
• inequalities
• a few word problems
