How Homework is turned in Geometry

•At the start of each chapter you will receive the work for the whole chapter. 70% of the assignments must be complete for you to be ABLE to take the test. Assignments are 10 points in and will go into the gradebook as a single assignment.

How homework is collected in Alg. III

•Each Friday there will be a single assignment collected at random. This means you never know which assignment from the week is collected but only one is collected. It is work 10 points.

Let’s take a break…

•In the next several slide you will see different pictures. Sometimes I will ask you to draw what you saw, or to talk to your table. The idea is to show you we all learn differently and see things different as well.

Picture #1How many do you see?

Ready?!?

One more time!!!

So….

•How many did you see? •Turn to you’re A/B partner and A’s explain

what you saw, how did you see it? what was the pattern?

•B’s, explain what your partner saw. Do not explain what you saw.

•Now B’s did you see something different? Go ahead and explain what you saw.

•A’s, repeat what your partner saw.

New Picture #2How many do you see?

Ready?!?

Last Time!!!

New Picture #3How many do you see?
