Mon - MLK Day
Tue - Bellwork #8, √7.4, P14=7.5 (Glides)
Wed - Video Analysis & Discussion
Thursday -Mr. Chapman is out (family medical situation)
Due: Fixes for Bellwork Quiz #1-8, then: Blokus day!
Time to apply our brains to spatial strategy today. Go here and create a login, then play Training Mode Blokus classic. Set up closed games with the password "bioscience", and play against each other...
For your bellwork quiz tomorrow (new sheet of blue paper, you'll need to write down your blokus login)
You can also use the time to work on any incomplete work (graphs, etc.), especially if the network is still having issues.
Would someone please take the lead on showing this blog to the sub? Thanks!
Fri - Bellwork #9 = What are the two words under "Overall Grade" on your online student progress report page?
and Bellwork #10 = What is your Blokus login?
Today is a good day to make sure your notebook grades are up-to-date!

HOW TO RECEIVE CREDIT FOR HOMEWORK
For each notebook section, you will need to take notes, and do the problems divisible by 3.
Notes should include section, title, goals, vocabulary, and important tidbits (green boxes)
Problems (3Ds) need to be completely worked out, so that anyone could pick up the notebook, understand the problem, and see every step you took to arrive at your answer.
DETAILED EXAMPLE FOR #10, SECTION 7.1 TRANSFORMATIONS
In the Table of Contents, enter "10 7.1 Transformations"
On page(s) 10 write the title "7.1 Transformations"
Goal #1 - Identify the three basic transformations
Define vocab:
Image
Pre-image
Transformation
Draw examples of Reflection, Rotation, and translation
Goal #2 - Use the transformations in real life (do the online tangrams)
isometry (iso = same, metric = measure, isos metrom)
3Ds - remember to show enough work so the problem can be understood, and the solution followed

Finishing the Semester
Dead Week
A good week to make sure we're all caught up on our work and that we know our stuff.
Each day during class complete one of the first six online chapter tests (take a screenshot when you finish - command-shift-3 - and turn them in to Mr. Chapman's drop box). If you are having trouble, be sure to refer to the online lesson quizzes for help.
Please name your files appropriately (Pat Ch02, etc.) before you drop them in the inbox.
