A Quick Recap of the Week!

In Algebra Class, we discussed the Four Sisters. Based on the picture below, students had describe in detail what Alberta, Betsy, Carla and Dora did in the race. Students had to indicate who won the race and how do they know. Also, students had to indicate who was the fastest and why. Also, students had to indicate who was illegal in the race and why. Also, students had to indicate the order of the contestants in the race from 1st place, 2nd place, and so forth.


We also talked about the different properties of real numbers. To refresh your memories they are:


In Honors Geometry, we talked about exploring angles. Here are video-links that talks about the various angles:

Prep for the Retake Tomorrow!

In Algebra, we will practice translating algebraic expressions into English expressions, translating English expressions into algebraic expressions, order of operations, and creating graphs of distance vs time or speed vs time.


Here are the answers from today in Algebra Class.

Below are some additional problems to try for extra practice.




For the Honors Geometry Class, here are some additional practice homework problems to try. Bring them to class completed, if you have questions about something.

On the quiz will be measuring distance on a number line and a coordinate plane. Most people didn't have an issue with angle stuff. If  at least 75% percent of the class does this assignment tonight, there will not be any angle stuff on the quiz and no quiz next week.

1) On a number line, A = -9, B = -6, C = -5, D = -2, E = 1, F = 5, and G = 6. Find AE, EC, and CA.

2) If B is between A and C, find the value of x and the measure of BC.
AB = 3x + 21, BC = 2x -6, and AC = 50

3) Using the Pythagorean Theorem or Distance Formula, solve for AB and BE.



New School Year at Clintondale High School!

It's a new day for me. Back at Clintondale High School. I am teaching Algebra and Honors Geometry.

In Algebra, we have covered graphs, order of operations, and algebraic expressions.

In Geometry, we have covered points, lines, planes, measuring distances, and measuring angles.
