1. You can only go to the Internet site that is specified by Mr. Thompson.
2. A seating chart must be made (So that the user of a particular computer at a particular time, can be traced).
   • So do not switch seats or computers, instead:
   • Tell Mr. Thompson about any problems being experienced and let him fix it.

Math

• The General Linear Equation:
• y = mx + b      
• (m = slope = rise / run
• b = y intercept)
• Do the Classwork given.
  

• Paper, penciil, Graph boards, Markers

• Coordinates (x and y), Plot, Point, Plane, Heading, Labels, Units
• MA.C.3.4.2 using a rectangular coordinate system (graph), applies and algebraically verifies properties of two- and three-dimensional figures, including distance, midpoint, slope, parallelism, and perpendicularity. (Also assesses C.3.3.2 and D.2.4.1)
• MA.C.3.3.2 identifies and plots ordered pairs in all four quadrants of a rectangular coordinate system (graph) and applies simple properties of lines.
• MA.D.2.4.1 represents real-world problem situations using finite graphs

• Plot the graph of Speed vs Time.
• Make table of values of speed vs. time.
• Plot the graph.
• Plot the graph of Distance vs Time for the first 5 hours of its journey.
• Make table of values of distance vs. time.
• Plot the graph.

• Let us find the general equation of a Linear Graph.

• Find the slope and intercept of yesterday's graphs.  Hence write their equations.
• Special cases:
• Slope = 0, 
• slope not defined.
• Slope positive
• slope negative
• Y intercept = 0, Positive, Negative.

1. Write the equation of a line whose slope is 3 and y intercept is 5. Sketch the line.
2. Write the equation of a line whose slope is -3 and y intercept is 5. Sketch the line.
3. Write the equation of a line whose slope is -3 and y intercept is -5. Sketch the line.
4. Do the problems on the board.

• Restless Clases.
• Spring Break will do us all good.
• Ms. Fab. rearranged desks so students sit around the perimeter, facing the wall.
