One Last Look at Point-Slope Equations and A Second Look at Direct Variation

Home Nugget #17
Assigned on Wednesday December 2, 2009
Due on Thursday December 3, 2009

Given my absence yesterday and the potential for confusion in terms of what was expected when I returned, students are being afforded an extension on the double-sided sheet titled Lesson 1.3 and 1.4, ALL problems are to be solved on separate sheets of paper and evidence/explanations provided whenever possible. The lesson focuses on such topics as:

direct variation
proprotional reasoning
discrete vs. continuious relations
and more...

students must also answer the following questions from the Algebra I book,
page 232 # 18 - 22

page 233 # 41 and 42

Given both the extended time and the amount of problems contained in the lesson, students are reminded that this lesson counts for 8 points rather than the customary 4.
