This week in 8th grade math we are continuing to work on our unit on functions and their graphs. Last week and today, the class worked on how to write a function rule for a table of values and for growing patterns. While they were working on function rules today I spoke with every student about how they had done on the quiz we took last week. Tomorrow we will be watching two videos that relate to concepts they have not learned yet. The first video will be about the world record for hand clapping in a minute, which relates to a direct variation. The second video will be about the size change of a Mr. Potato Head from different distances, which relates to indirect variations. After these two activities tomorrow we will actually discuss direct and indirect variations and see what is happening mathematically.
Upcoming Assignments:
A quiz on either Friday Oct. 9th or Tuesday Oct. 13th
Alternative Assessment due either Thursday Oct 15th or Friday Oct 16th
Test on either Thursday Oct 15th or Friday Oct 16th
Question to ask at home:
After tomorrows class ask: What the record is for hand clapping in a minute?
