Preparing to Walk into Class with an Exemplary Math Journal
Given that the vast majority of students were attending field trips today, this weekend's home nugget continues to revolve around the math journal.
Remember that you will be grading your journal responses in class tomorrow according to the opinions ventured by the whole class as to what comprises a convincing and thorough answer.
This coming week is also the last of the first marking period and you will be confronted with your summative assessments for chapter 2. See you in class!

Exploring So-Called Special Functions and Learning to Navigate the Four Forms of Linear Equations
Home Nugget #21
Assigned on Monday October 17, 2011
Due on Tuesday October 18, 2011
Follow instructions on sheet with four forms of the linear function. This involves both filling out the table with missing values and also presenting all evidence of the enormous work involved in finding these forms of the linear equation.
ALSO
Directions for Journal Questions Set One were distributed today. This is an ongoing long-term lesson due on Monday October 24. Bear in mind that it comprises 10% of the overall term grade and is one of our best chances at meaningful reflection on content.

Another Opportunity to Deepen Our Understanding of Scatter Plots and their Associated Lines of Fit
Given that students did not have sufficient experience with creating scatter plots and the dynamics of deriving equations for lines of fit, the home nugget is being extended for an additional day so that we can increase our comfort levels in class today.
However! Be mindful that an additional component is being added to tonight's lesson. Read carefully below.
