All Algebra teachers will complete a slope project after the Holidays- Details will be handed out during class after the Holiday break. Explanation and Demonstrated knowledge of slope requires a complete response with a detailed explanation that shows complete understanding of the mathematical ideas and processes. You are suppose to find an example of the use of slope in the world outside the classroom- stairs, roof pitch,handi-camp ramp,etc. It has to be in the building.You have to write an executive summary of how you calculated the slope of the object selected. Explain how you applied the slope formula. Tell where the object is located. Explain why slope is important. The essay has to be a minimum of 250 words. The poster shows the object-photo or drawing. The math calculations are explained in detail on the poster. A drawing on graph paper illustrates the concept of the slope of your object. To show that there is a real-life application of slope- gather more information on how slope is used in the construction trades. Or call a healthcare agency to find out what the law says about the slope of a handicap ramp. Or talk to a contractor about how he or she uses slope in the building trades. Use of visuals- requires a clear diagram or sketch with detail. Mechanics-means no math errors. Consult the rubric you were given in class. The project is due Feb. 8th and has to be done in school. You will be given 4 days. The timeline project is due in December and is designed for Pre-algebra. Your Timeline Directions: 5 photos or icons is the minimum and 10 photos or icons is the maximum. The timeline has to be drawn to scale and contain this information: Your birthdate when you spoke your first word when you first walked when you started school when you learned to ride a bike when you met your best friend when your brothers or sisters were born when you first spent the night away from home without your parents any awards you won clubs you belong to, etc. Copy icons or pictures from the Web. Any family photos will be returned to you. _______________________Algebra Powerpoint project __________________ Slide one- Your name and the Title of the Problem Slide Two-The problem you selected from ws 3.5 or the textbook 3.5 stated word for word. Slide Three-Take out the data-List the facts-Use bullets to highlight facts. Slide Four- Explain the steps to solve the problem. Slide Five- Solution is given. Show out your work. Check labels. Winter Holiday activity-designed for Algebra One. Match the snowflake equations with the snowflake answers. -2/3x = -4 X=6 -8 = x +4 X =-12 2x + 5=9 X=2 x/5 + 5 = -20 x=-125 3 (x-2)=18 x=8 18-(x-2)=21 x = -1 8x + 20 = 5x -4 x= -8 8-9x=21x-7 x=1/2 x = 5x -5 x=1 -6x + 4x =2 x = -1 Pre-algbra Mini Project on Zoo Design Challenge You have to view the video first in class. You have 300 square meters to work with. Each monkey module has to measure 18 square meters. Each monkey needs their own module. Sharing walls saves money in costs. The design has to save money. It has to allow visiting space to view the exhibits. Plexiglass costs $170 a meter. Our budget is $10,000. If we take $10,000 and divide by $170 we can afford 58.8 meters of plexiglass. So the total distance around all the monkey modules has to be less than or equal to 58 meters.
