This week we are moving off the number line and into two dimensions as we graph inequalities in two variables.

It's not always equal!!!
This week we will be entering the world of inequalities beginning with linear inequalities and ending with systems of equalities in a few weeks time.
COW 23 (2/25/11)
Ms. England is planning a party for students who have met their goal of reading seven books during the most recent nine weeks of school. Using a total of $112, she plans to get pizzas that cost $12 each and drinks that cost $0.50 each. If she purchases four times as many drinks as pizzas, how many of each should she buy?
IXL for the Week:
B.1 Integers on number lines
B.2 Absolute value and opposite integers
B.3 Compare and order integers
B.4 Integer inequalities with absolute
Interactive Inequalities

Race to the Finish: Prepare for Exam and Portfolio Eligible Projects
This week we will be working on the culminating task for this Term.
Rocket Racer Portfolio Eligible Project
NASA's take on the Laws of Motion
Discovery Channel's Laws of Motion
Newton's Laws with Diagrams
More Practice and Review of Combining Like Terms
Combing Like Terms
Review of Systems of Equations
See last week's post for more practice for ever section on the exam.
Essential Questions:
How do the Laws of Motion affect a rocket racer?
How do slope and y intercept connect to real world situations?
How can systems of equations be used to predict the interaction of two moving objects?
Project Overview:
-Over the next week and a half, you will be designing and building several rocket racers.
-You will conduct a crash test using your final design and predict the time and location of the crash.
-Finally, you will create a portfolio eligible piece that includes:
o Data tables and graphs
o Equations for your racer and your opponent’s racer.
o Laws of Motion Diagram
o Connections
o Analysis and reflection
Goal: Use your knowledge of the Laws of Motion to design the fastest rocket racer possible using the given materials.
