Scribe Post for 3/12/08
Scribe of the Day.... Lena
Today is March 12, 2008
And in math class we learn about…
Explicit Formula's
Explicit Formula- Operation with linear equation involves multiplication/division or addition and subtraction
Today's Example:
0,3
1,5
2,7
3,9
4,11
x, 2x+3
The explicit Formula is- y=2x+3
TODAY'S TERM OF THE DAY
SLOPE
Slope= Rise/Run it represents the ratio of going from one point to the next.
Slope= y2-y1/x2-x1
Looks confusing right.... Well it's not
Just look at it this way...
0,3 is the starting point right
3 is your Y intercept
If X is Zero you can find your Y intercept by looking at the number
Slope=Intercept= intercept form
EASIEST WAY TO KNOW!!!!
y=mx+b
M=slope
B=y-intercept
Y=Intercept from
Here how we would graph it

Algebra
Scribe.
Today Mr.Rochester told ideas to do to start working on our project.
“ If I feel you are not doing anything then you get a 0 for today”
(Remember this quote forever)
He will also come around a check our work that he did not mark, but we actually did.
Kids are working on the project of the sketching, and also their assignments that they are making up.
Someone got a 0,black hoodie and playing a game who is it?
Evan Cohen
Mr. Rochester is still going around helping kids and checking their work so they could get the grades they deserve.

Summary of todays class
For today’s class MR Rochester returned our quizzes. And he had us submit a journal entry with what we thought we deserve on the quiz, based on how much we understand the material and how much we showed our work. Then he said he would compare them to the grade he gave us and have us prove that we deserve what we said we deserve.
After that he gave us some time to work with our group to work on the sketch of the class room, and to work on our own sketch that we have to make on Google SketchUp

February.6.2008
Basically what we did today was go over last nights homework about proportions.percents,and ratios. Also we discussed Mr.Rochester's expectations for the class for instance he feels that we don't follow the rules. When you re in Mr.Rochester's class don't pull out your laptop becuase you know you won't need it anyway it's algebra we use a pencil and paper. Also if you are failing his class you know who you are don't play music becuase you need to be focusing on your work and most the time you don't even have headphones, and Mr.Rochester collected e-mail information so intead of talking to all of our parents he is going to e-mail your progress. Monday a test is coming up becuase we don't have him Friday the test will be Monday study hard and no matter what you get on the test he's still sending them to your parents so you might as well try and look good. Today we also got our classwork there was no homework but we got our class work for the day,and you people who weren't in class,absent, or just not paying attention when he called your name for attendance get a make up sheet so you can get credit for the day. So everyone who missed this day make sure you get a makeup sheet for credit.
(The scribe for tomorrow is Chris.)
This is the classwork for the day.

Agenda for Tuesday’s Algebra 1B Class (1-29-08)
1. Go over changes to Absent Sheet
-( the changes were: when your late to class, or after the teacher takes role and your not there, you need to fill in an absent sheet and hand it in or send it to Mr. Rochesters E-mail for that days cresit...BIG PART OF OUR GRADES!!)
2. Make sure profile is updated
-(you need to go to your moodle account, go to "edit page", once your there hit "show advanced" then go down to "Email digest type" then change it to,subjects daily updates" then scroll down and click update.)
3. Open up SLA mail and show that inbox is Not overloaded with emails
-(once your in you SLA mail delete all the emails. so that you can easily find the e-mail Mr.Rochester is going to send.)
4. Go over Solutions to yesterday’s classwork
( you can check yesterdays blogger to see any missing or reviewed work.)
5. Homework: Explore Sketchpad
THIS IS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, MR.ROCHESTER SPENT ABOUT MORE THEN HALF OF THE CLASS PERIOD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ANOTHER WAY TO SEND US A MESSAGE AND EVERYONE WAS CONFUSED AND DNOT MAKEING AN EFFORT. THEN WE WHENT OVER ABOUT 3 PROBLEMS FROM THE TRIVIA BLOGGER-THAT WASN'T EVEN OUR BAND, THEN MR.ROCHSTER FINALLY ORGANIZED HIMSLF O CHECK THE HOMEWORK FROM FRIDAY. AND GAVE US THE HOMEWORK....

Today we (Algebra B Band) formed in groups of 4 and 5 . There were nine leaders chosen . Each leader had to pick three other team members to work with . Who were not leaders . Next we talked about Educon . Educon is a company that came to SLA from January 25-27 . There were over two hundred teachers from around the world that came to SLA along with Educon to observe SLA students , This is because SLA is a new school called School 2.0 which means were are an upgrade from other schools .

Today we took a quiz based on our classwork and homework.
For class notes we learned how to solve ratios, solve proportions, and similar figures.
Notes:
A ratio is a comparison of 2 quantities that uses division.
Similar figures: The ratios of corresponding sides are the same.
Ex:
The Scribe for Monday was DaVonte
