Students were given the password and username to gain access to their textbooks on line.  They were walked through the process and log in on their phones.  Then, they were given the English conversions WS back and allowed to look at and find their errors.  They were allowed to finish their English Conversions WS for homework.

9-20 (Wednesday)

Students worked a practice problem to begin class.  It was reviewed and they were handed the English Conversions WS (45 pts).  They worked on the WS in class and turned it in at the conclusion of class.

9-19 (Tuesday)

Students were introduced into conversions using conversion factors.  We worked on Conversions in the English System of measurement.  Five problems from single conversions to multiple conversions were worked in class.  Students were given the equations from distance, volume and weight to help in the conversions.  No homework other than reviewing the equations.

 

9-18 (Monday)

Students worked problems w/Conversion factors from their textbook and the Chemistry text on turning regular numbers into scientific notation.  Then they were instructed how to convert numbers in SI from the Physical Science textbook.  All work was turned in at the end of the period.

Students completed the English Conversion Factors WS (34 pts). We went over the 2 and 3 step conversions in preparations for the English Conversions on Monday.

9-13-17 (Wednesday)

Students learned the steps to writing conversion factors in the English System of Measurement.  We wrote several conversion factors after taking notes from the PowerPoint.  Then we began the English Conversion Factors WS (34 pts).

Students took the Scientific Notation Test (20 pts) as soon as the bell rang.  Then we began discussing the term "conversion" and learning how to write conversion factors.

We reviewed how to turn a fraction into a decimal.  Then, round the decimal to two real numbers to the right of the decimal.    Students should be prepared for a Scientific Notation Test on tomorrow.  They finished a Math Poptest (20 pts) in class and took a Math Review WS 2/3 (50 pts)for homework.

Students were taught how to turn scientific notation regular numbers into regular numbers w/6 practice problems.  Then they were given a worksheet to finish on converting scientific notation to regular numbers (50 pts).  Students will have a test on "Scientific Notation" on Friday.  They were instructed to be sure and have a calculator for class tomorrow.  (Bronze grade)

Students reviewed the steps to scientific notation and were given a "Scientific Notation" WS for finishing during class (except for 7th Period; they had it for homework).  They also discussed how to round numbers  and did a number in scientific notation (20 pts)

Students finished the notes from the PowerPoint on Scientific Notation.  They learned how to determine and write the base number, and the exponent to write regular numbers in scientific notation.  We also discussed rounding of numbers to correctly write the base number.  They were then assigned 10 problems from the Chemistry text for homework. (20 pts)

Students took the Lab Tools Quiz (50 pts). After the Quiz, they started taking notes from the PowerPoint on how to write numbers in scientific notation.
