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!

Hey everyone! I hope you're all having a great holiday break! And if you're reading this after the holidays are over, I hope you're having a great snow day!
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.

SNOW DAY ASSIGNMENT: DAY 3
Read the
Extended Response Question and Student Response. Rank each response on a 1-4
scale, 4 being exemplary, 1 being needs improvement. Explain your ranking with
textual evidence, and mathematical support.
You can write your answer on regular notebook paper.

Wednesday, 10-28-15: In further pursuit of X, master criminal...
When it comes to finding X in word problems, we've got some skill. After all, we wrote equations for word problems in target 2.1, in the last unit! But now we're writing equations from word problems, and that can get a little tricky.
In class, we compiled a list of words we might see that might indicate which inequality symbol we're supposed to use.
With these words, try to compose inequality statements based on these sentences.
- T is non-negative.
- X is positive.
- K is no more than 3.
- R is at least 2.
- S is at most 4.
- V is no less than 7.
Were those pretty easy for you? Try these; they're a little harder!
- A bus can seat at most 48 students.
- It's not safe to use a light bulb of more than 60 watts for this fixture.
- At least 350 students attended the band concert on Friday.
- There have been more than 75 sightings of bigfoot this year.
Now it's time for the REAL word problems. Try to write an equation from the problems below, and then solve it. Remember to ACTUALLY WRITE AN EQUATION instead of simply coming up with an answer!
