| 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. It
is due December 1st, 2008 a Monday
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. This
project is due Friday December 5th
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.
