Fire Drill Shortens Class

We reviewed more about the equation for the line of symmetry. Students received grade slips, and were reminded to come in to retake concept tests, if needed, so as to avoid getting an "incomplete" marked on their report cards on December 5th.

Students worked in their groups today. Students were encouraged to compare their results from Absolute Value WS 4, as well as the conclusions they came up with. Each student selected a variable (a, b, c, or d) to report on. Students were given a handout that described a written aspect of their group project. Though the writing is not due until December 1st, students were encouraged to get the bulk of this writing done tonight, as the presentation part will be assigned in class tomorrow.

Tonight's Homework: Work on the essay about your variable's effect on the shape of the graph of the absolute value function.

P.S. Hi, David and Margo! I hope you arrived safely in Italy and Virginia. Send me an e-mail so I can send you a copy of the expectations I shared with your classmates today. Have fun, and enjoy your time away from Eugene!
