Thursday 1/19

Today is class we explored the effects of our second kind of transformation, a rotation, with an awesome Desmos activity.

For those that were absent today, you'll need to complete the activity at home on your own. Head to student.desmos.com and type in the class code that goes with your period.

Period 1: kZ89R
Period 2: 77PSY
Period 6: TN5GT

Homework: Play the Center of Rotation game at home with a parent or sibling

Wednesday 1/18

Today we practiced transformations with MATHia. We will be working on a Desmos activity with rotations tomorrow.

Homework: 30 mins of MATHia

Tuesday 1/17

I hope you enjoyed your 3 day weekend!

We continued our work with translations today with a look at translating linear functions in Lesson 7.2.

We discovered that translating a linear function either vertically or horizontally will change the y-intercept, but will not change the slope in any way.

Homework: Textbook pages 403-405 (#4-7)

Friday 1/13

Today we worked on MATHia.

Homework: 30 mins of MATHia

Have a GREAT 3 day weekend!

Thursday 1/12

Today I was at a training, but in my absence you worked on MATHia.

Homework: 30 mins of MATHia 

Wednesday 1/11

We continued our look at translations today with the second half of Lesson 7.1.

Here's the Desmos tool we used for translations in class today: bit.ly/desmostranslations. It may come in handy on your homework tonight.

Tuesday 1/10

Today we dove into translations with Lesson 7.1. 

Here is the Ohio State Marching Band illustrating a translation for you!

Parents: Ask your child to explain in their own words (and identify in their class work) the terms transformation, translation, congruent, image, and pre-image. 

Here's the Desmos tool we used for translations in class today: bit.ly/desmostranslations It may come in handy on your homework tonight.

Homework: Finish #3 and #4 on Textbook Pages 388-390
