So, You Want To Retake Unit 5, Part One....

Are you looking to retake any targets in Unit 5, part 1?  Then look no further!  Below you will find links to test forms that, when completed, will take the place of your current grade for that target in Infinite Campus.

WARNING: YOU CAN ONLY RETAKE THE TARGETS ONE TIME. So make sure you're absolutely ready to do the retake before you click the link!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting some help (either from me, or another math teacher) before you attempt the retake. After all, if you bombed the target the first time, there clearly was something you didn't understand. If you take the target again before getting help, you're bound to do poorly on it again!

When you're ready to attempt the retakes, click the links below.


Target 5.1 - I can graph linear relationships in y=mx+b form. 


Target 5.2 - I can write equations for linear graphs in y=mx+b form. 


Target 5.3 - I can write a y=mx+b equation for a table of x- and y-values. 


Target 5.4 - I can solve y=mx+b problems using parallel lines. 


Target 5.5 - I can solve y=mx+b problems using perpendicular lines.

NTI Day 3: help video!

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a great NTI day.

In case you're having trouble with the Day 3 assignment, I've created this video to help you out with it. If you still need additional help, don't forget that we'll spend some time talking about the assignment when we get back to school.

Oh, and I totally know that NTI Day 4 is the same as NTI Day 3. That was my fault. I'll be fixing that soon!

Happy Snow Day! NTI: Day 2

Hey everyone! Hope you had a great day sleeping in.

Even though I gave you the hard copy of NTI assignment #2 months ago, I figure that SOMEONE out there will need it. I mean, it's not like I asked you to come and see me during 7th period yesterday to pick up Day 2, because I'd made extra copies just in case anyone had lost theirs.

Oh, wait, I DID do that!

Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying your day off. If you need NTI day 2, here it is!!

(I know it says NTI Day 1 on it, but trust me, it's Day 2).

Unit 5, part 2 Pretest

So, you're finished with Unit 5, part 1! That wasn't so bad, was it? Since that part is finally over, we can finally move on to part 2!

Here's the thing: we have SO much left to cover this year, and only so much time to do it in. If there's something you're already good at (or something that would be way too easy to cover in a whole class period), I  need to know that!

Click the link below to take a short (6-question) multiple choice PRE-TEST for Unit 5, part 2. It won't go into IC as a grade; it's just so we can see what we actually need to spend class time covering!

NTI day #1: here's your helping hand!

Hey everyone! I've had a few emails today about some of the NTI work. This post, specifically, is to address the following questions: 

"Can you give me a hand with multiplying and dividing fractions, whole numbers, and mixed numbers?" 

Answer: heck yes! And in video form, no less! 

Below are two videos I made, giving some examples of the following tasks. I hope it helps! 



If you guys have any further questions, please email me at any time at graham.smith@woodford.kyschools.us. Stay warm and dry!

If you're reading this post, you're probably looking for the NTI work for snow day 3 and snow day 4. If you're looking for day 1 and day 2, remember: I gave you those in class! Not only that, I gave you the option to take home day 3 and day 4 on paper, too.
