Monday
LT: I can use precise language, domain-specific vocab and techniques

3. Accept vs. except page: 539
Accept: to take or receive something that is offered
Ex: My neighbor said he would accept my apology for trampling over his rose beds as long as I help weed them in the spring.
Except: to leave out or exclude; usually used as a preposition meaning “with the exception of” or “excluding”
Ex: The soldier was excepted from combat duty because he had poor field vision.

4. Affect vs. effect pg: 539
Affect: to have an influence on something; it is an emotion or behavior; usually a VERB
Ex: Eli refused to let the rain affect his plans for a picnic, so he sat under an umbrella and ate his sandwich.
Effect: to bring something about or cause something to happen; an influence or result; usually a NOUN
Ex: The newspaper article about homeless animals had such an effect on Zarak that he brought home three kittens from the shelter.
The young activist received an award for effecting a change in her community.

5. LT: I can identify slope-intercept and use it to solve word problems

LT: I can identify slope-intercept and use it to solve word problems

6. Linear Equations 110 points total on test
A lemonade stand’s profit is given by the equation
p= 2c-8.5.
Which of the following does the number 2 most likely represent?
The price of one cup of lemonade
The profit generated from the sale of one cup of lemonade
The minimum number of cups of lemonade that must be sold to earn a profit
The costs that must be recuperated before the lemonade stand earns any profits

7. Linear Equations 110 points total on test
A lemonade stand’s profit is given by the equation
p= 2c-8.5.
Which of the following does the number 2 most likely represent?
The price of one cup of lemonade
The profit generated from the sale of one cup of lemonade
The minimum number of cups of lemonade that must be sold to earn a profit
The costs that must be recuperated before the lemonade stand earns any profits

8. Reasoning p= 2c-8.5 2 = price of one cup
In a real-world scenario, the slope of a line represents a unit rate and the y-intercept represents a flat fee or a starting amount.
The profit equation is linear and is given in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b). The number 2 is the slope (m), which represents a unit rate. To determine between A and B, compare the description to the equation. 2 must be the price per cup of lemonade.

12. Thursday
LT: I can solve a system of equations using either substitution or combining

13. Systems of Linear Equations 50 total points on test
x+y = 29
x+2y= 12
If the ordered pair (x,y) is the solution to the system of equations above, what is the value of y?
-17 12 46 75

14. Systems of Linear Equations 50 total points on test
x+y = 29
x+2y= 12
If the ordered pair (x,y) is the solution to the system of equations above, what is the value of y?
-17 12 46 75

15. Reasoning
When solving a system of linear equations, always look at the coefficients of the variables to decide on a strategy. Here, because you’re looking for the value of y, subtracting the first equation from the second equation will get you to the answer the quickest.
x+2y = 12
-(x+y = 29)

y = -17

16. Friday
LT: I can take notes from a lecture-based format to prepare for college lectures, business meetings, etc.

17. Please watch, enjoy & take notes on the following:
Ted Talk
Trevor Timm: How free is our freedom of the press?
_of_the_press

18. Compare & Share
Good note-taking is not finished when the lecture is completed. Take a moment and compare your notes with your seat partner. Add in info that you may have missed in a different color (pencil or pen) to prove that you’ve done this activity!
