Wow! That break we had didn't last too terribly long. Great to see all my students again today. We got our feet running to try and squeeze in another test before the semester tests come up in just three weeks! As for my Connections class, we continued our graphing of linear inequalities, but now we solved a whole system of linear inequalities. I thought this lesson went very well. Our new techniques in shading really helped out. In my other class, Algebra II, we continued on with matrices. Finding determinants and using Cramer's Rule went over somewhat well with them. Let me say, it went over a whole lot better when my students found out they could use their calculators to solve their equations! First Semester is almost down, who knows where the time goes.Monday, November 29, 2010

I am posting my first comment on this blog. I am from the stone ages. Not very advanced in this area. I've learned most of the tricks of gradequick, edline, Arkansas Dept. of Education pathwise site and am almost convienced that e-mail is my friend. I am also creating test and finding activities on the computer. I think that I am almost computer literate. The computer thing has been areal challange.
ReplyDeleteNow on to Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful break. I decorated for Christmas and planned ahead a little. I feel ready to work hard until Christmas and I'll need to.
