a very full day.

the day started off with no power at school (thanks to the wind/storms last night). it ended with parent/teacher conferences (thanks to the parents and students who came and met with me) and the spring orchestra concert (so good!!).

homework: #4 Practice EOCT Worksheet (probability worksheet...great review!)

tomorrow is the last day in the lab.

1st period: Lab 215C

3rd period: Lab 117

i will also be staying after school in Lab 215C for you to work on USAtestprep. the BIG project is due on Monday!!

eeek....tornadoes!

hope you're staying safe tonight! lots of storm/tornado warnings.

stay inside. and do your homework!

homework: EOCT #6 worksheet (all multiple choice!)

also, work on usatestprep.com

see you tomorrow in class. we will be in the lab on Friday.

quadrilateral review.

review is the name of the game these days (since EOCT is so soon). today we reviewed all those lovely quadrilateral properties from UNIT 3. tomorrow we will be using those properties on the coordinate place.

homework: EOCT Practice #3 ...front and back

(you'l be getting EOCT Practice #1, #2, #4, #5, #6 on different days this week...in no particular order!)

and as always, you need to be doing usatestprep.com. your HUGE assignment is due next Monday...one week from today!!

computer assignment.

this weekend, you need to be working on usatestprep.com. everyone must finish one domain over the weekend (30 questions total: 10 beginner, 10 random, 10 domain test).

this assignment is due a week from monday. we will only be in the lab twice next week, so you must work on this at home.

hope you have a good weekend! happy easter!!!

11 school days until the EOCT.

the countdown has started!!! and the EOCT is coming up SO, SO, SOON! please try your best to be at school every day. you will miss a lot of vital information on the days you are out, and it will be hard to catch up.

tomorrow we will once again be going to the computer lab to work on USA Test Prep. we will work two days next week as well. whatever is not completed during these lab times needs to be completed at home or in the library after school. the USA Test Prep assignment is due May 2.

homework: MM1G1 b worksheet (find the distance between a point and a line)

pythagorean theorem.

Math 1B

the last 2 days we have been practicing the Pythagorean Theorem. here's a neat website to see the proof of where they came up with the formula: http://www.mathsisfun.com/pythagoras.html

homework: Pythagorean Theorem WS #1-10 (on this homework, you are finding the distance between two points. you are doing this by using the Pythagorean Theorem!)

back from spring break.

hope everyone had a great break! i haven't had the chance to see you/talk to you yet, since i had math training today and was not at school!

today you did test corrections on your UNIT 5 test. you hopefully learned from your mistakes, and can do better on the re-test tomorrow (which everyone will be taking). you will only re-test on the standards you did not master.

for the standards you do not master, you will be working on a standards packet! it is your goal to master each standard from this unit!

happy spring break!

during spring break, it would be a GREAT IDEA to get started on your USAtestprep.com project. (you received the sheet today in class.) for each domain (there are ten total), you have to do a 10 question beginner practice, 10 question random practice, and a 10 question domain test. these results will automatically be sent to me. your sheet that was given to you is to help you keep track of your progress!

instructions to help you get started on your USAtestprep.com project:

1. log on to usatestprep.com (school ID: druidhills)

*if you forget your username, please e-mail me at katie_m_koerten@fc.dekalb.k12.ga.us and i can give it to you!*

2. when you are at the homescreen, click on the tab that says "EOCT Tests." at the drop down menu, select "Mathematics 1."

3. scroll down and click on the tab that says "Practice."

4. this is where you will select a domain. there are ten to choose from. once you select a domain, click on "10 Beginner," "10 Random," or "10 Domain Test." you will do each of these for each domain. *for extra credit, you can do the Games for each domain. click on the "Games" tab and choose which game you want to play!*
