Pre-Algebra: We did a mini-lesson on slope. We talked about how to draw slope triangles to find slope, and how to draw a line given a point and the slope. We also used the slope formula to find the slope between two points mathematically.
Algebra I Honors: We finished reviewing for the final exam. Please continue reviewing at home by focusing on the problems discussed in class. Remember to bring in pencils, a calculator, and your textbook/CD for collection tomorrow!

Pre-Algebra: Today, we reviewed word problems. We went over how to create a tree diagram, odds in favor and against, markups and discounts, scales, and how to complete word problems in general.
Pre-Algebra Honors: We continued reviewing for the final by completing the final review packet.
Algebra I Honors: Continuing with trigonometry, we talked about how the trigonometric ratios, and the inverse trigonometric ratios (i.e. the arcsin, arccosine, and arctangent), can be used to find a missing angle when given 2 or more sides. The quiz on sections 12.5-12.7 has been pushed back until Monday due to the number of students who will be missing tomorrow's class because of the variety show.
