We Skyped with Mollie Woodworth - nice job with the questions.

Here's today's opener (pdf).

We then talked about slope, and how various parameters affect a graph, and about parallel and perpendicular lines (lesson, pdf).

Your homework for Wednesday is:

1. Prepare for the Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Assessment. First, complete the online pre-assessment. Then there are a variety of ways to prepare including, but not limited to: review the online pre-assessment; review your notebook and/or the openers and lessons posted on the blog; review the video, work some practice problems in your textbook or that you find online. You can, of course, also get help from me, another math teacher, a teacher in the Study Center, a peer tutor in the Study Center, or a parent, sibling or friend. Do whatever works best for you, but make sure you're prepared. The expectation is that you should all be able to do very well on this assessment.
   
   
2. Review for the midterm on Thursday. We'll work on this in class on Wednesday as well, but my recommendation is to start working on the review (pdf) now.
