COW # 28 and Angles and Lines

COW #28

Geometry Project- Lines and Angles
Don't forget about your IXL! 

After spring break, rockets and Pythagoras! 

On to Bottle Rockets- or back to Heavy Lifting

As the last official portfolio eligible projects were turned in today, all students will now move forward to either work to revise their Rocket Racer or Heavy Lifting project OR move on to create experiments involving bottle rockets.

Each student will design his/her own bottle rocket to launch.
Prior to launching rockets, each student should complete
NASA Rocket Education 101-103
Projectile Motion Phet

Comparison of a NASA Rocket to a Bottle Rocket
For those students who are ready to move on, please take a look at the following:

Heavy Lifting Project and COW #26

This week is an important one in MST for many of you, as the heavy lifting project is the second to last portfolio eligible project for the year.  The Heavy Lifting Project is due on Monday the 21st.  Please use the rubric below to help you to meet the standard. 

Heavy Lifting Rubric- Project DUE Monday, March 21, 2011

COW #26- DUE Friday, March 18, 2011

Cow 25- Bringing it all together.

In COW 25 , you will demonstrate your ability to set up and solve a system of equations using all three methods: graphing, algebraic-elimination, and algebraic-substitution.
Make sure to see me in the mornings this week if you need help with this work.

You MUST understand these three procedures in order to be successful as we move on into systems of inequalities.

Graphing Inequalities in Two Variables

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

Cow #24

Purple Math
VIDEO Example

We will also begin our formal study of rockets. Beginning with the Ares V.

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
