Multiplying Polynomials (3/26)

Happy Monday to you!

Today, we did a warm-up on polynomials (from sections 7-6 and 7-7). I did not pick the warm-up up, but you will be allowed to use your notes and your warm-up on the quiz tomorrow, so keep it! The lesson today was on section 7-8 "Multiplying Polynomials." Really, it wasn't anything new--we just distributed terms, used our exponent rules, and combined like terms. (3 things we've done before). Students had about 15-20 minutes to work in partners on finishing the 7-8 practice worksheet while I passed out their Ch. 7A tests, 6-6 take-home-quizzes, and progress reports.

Due tomorrow: 7-8 Worksheet and study for your 7-6/7-7 Quiz

Announcements: Below is what was printed on the bottom of each progress report:

--The Chapter 6A Test is listed as "excused" if it was counted on the 3rd nine weeks (which means it helped your grade before report cards). If you have a grade for the Ch. 6A test, it hurt your nine weeks grade so now you can do corrections. DUE by FRIDAY, March 30th.

--The Ch. 7A Test corrections are also due by Friday, March 30th.--If you have a 0 for an assignment, it means you were present when it was assigned and when it was due, and you did not turn it in.

--If you have an "incomplete" or "missing" for an assignment, you were absent from class either when it was assigned or when it was due.

--You will have another take-home quiz on sections 6-6/6-7 after Spring Break since many students did not do well on the first one. (You'll notice you received a grade for turning it in, but I did not grade it and give you a quiz grade).

--REMEMBER: I do NOT accept LATE work during the 4th nine weeks. All assignments must be turned in the day they are due (unless you are absent).
