So we've already started a new unit. BUT before we get any deeper into it, I'd like to know what you're already bringing to the table. Click the link below to take the Unit 4 Pre-test.

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!

Bonus Video #6: Volume of a Cone
Well, you've made it! F you're reading this, then you've already competed the first five videos. You already know what to do, so why're you wasting your time reading directions?
Here's video number one:
And hers video number two:
Good luck! And remember, you can still ask for help, even though it's a bonus problem.
Bonus video #5: Area of a circle
Circles: they're everywhere! And being able to find the area of them is really, really useful.
You know the drill. Watch this video first:
Once that's done, watch the next video for your instructions on Bonus Problem #5. Put this one on the back of your sheet:
Video #4: Formula for Mass
So you'll be able to "solve for a particular variable in an equation that contains multiple variables", we're using a science formula for video #4: namely, the formula for mass. First, watch the video below:
Then, watch this next video for directions on problem #4:
Good luck, and remember to ask if you need any help!

Video #3: Area of a Trapezoid
The skill you're going to learn in target 2.5 goes like this: "I can solve for a particular variable in an equation that has more than one variable." Since you're working on Problem #3, you'll need to watch the video below first:
Once that's finished, you'll find your problem using the Area of a Trapezoid in the video below:
Good luck on Problem #3! And remember to ask for help if you need it!
