Car Race Activity Canceled Due to Poor Decisions

We reviewed some of the problems from last night's homework and I clarified the aspects of the slope intercept form of the equation for a line. Students now understand that the slope is a representation of the rise over the run, and the y-intercept is really a point on the coordinate grid, and not just a number.

We were going to do an activity with racing cars down a series of slopes, but three or four students made poor choices and caused me to cancel the activity. Maybe next week . . .

Tonight's Homework: Page 737 ( 16 - 37 ). This homework is not due until Monday, May 17th, due to tomorrow's track meet and choir field trip.
