Monday and Tuesday:
Complete the Chapter 11 Study Guide. Study for Wednesday’s test. If you still owe quiz or homework corrections, they are due by Wednesday, too.
Wednesday:
No homework.
Thursday:
Don’t forget that your WebQuest project is due on April 6. Hopefully you have gotten a great start on it and perhaps even finished the model or the paper. Take a break from math for Spring Break, but make a plan for completing your project in the week after you get back to school.
Your Chapter 11 test will be Wednesday, March 21. We will spend time in class on Tuesday reviewing and you will get a study guide on Monday. The test will cover 11-1 through 11-6 (but not 11-7, which we will look at later).
Monday:
Practice finding the surface area of pyramids and cones for one more night! Quiz tomorrow. Do p. 580, problems 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, and 17. Also, complete any corrections you still need to do for the 11-4 Quiz or the Chapter 10 test.
Tuesday:
Bring in a pie for tomorrow’s Pi Day! Extra participation points will be awarded, and the whole class will be grateful. Yum!!
Wednesday:
No homework.
Thursday:
P. 586, problems 3-10, 12, and 14. Also, complete your 11-5 quiz corrections.
**Blogger’s bonus: Problem 9 is tough! One way to do the problem is to convert all the model measurements into meters (to get .6 m, .42 m, and 3.5 m). Then use the cubed version of the scale factor because you are looking for volume. The other is to find out how big each side of the real building is (1 cm = 1.5 m) and multiply length times width times height. Either way the answer is the same. Good luck. We will go over this problem first thing tomorrow!
Friday:
Remember that Monday is the next deadline for your WebQuest project. Be ready to tell me what familiar object you are using for comparison to your structure and the computations you did to figure out how many of your object fit into one of the dimensions of your structure. Also, bring all your dimensions with you to class on Monday so that you can use class time to do the scaling for your model. If you have already figured out your scale, bring in your computations on a piece of paper to show me.
Monday:
P. 571, problems 10-19 all. Quiz tomorrow on volume of cones and pyramids. Don’t forget to keep working on your WebQuest project. Your first deadline is a week from today.
Tuesday:
P. 576, problems 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17.
Wednesday:
Complete the 11-4 Practice sheet. Put your work and answers on a separate sheet of paper.
Thursday:
No homework.
Friday:
Your summary paragraph (which is your intro paragraph for your paper) is due on Monday. This is a rough draft and does not need to be typed, but needs to include the name of your structure, where it is, why it is interesting to you, and all the dimensions that you have been able to find. Doing this assignment is not hard, but by doing it you assure me that you are well on your way to starting your project! I don’t want you thinking you can wait until the last minute on this one!
