Mr. McClendon’s Math Emporium

As I promised posted below is the answer key to test 2.  If you check out the key and still find that you have a question, post a comment or email me and I will post a video explanation.

 As a heads up for Mondays class, try to search Google for logarithms to find a basic explanation of what they are( don’t worry we are still going to go over them in class if you don’t find much).  Also try to polish up on your exponent properties that are in the book in section P.2 ( the blue box on page 12) or on the bottom of page335.

Here are some exapmle problems for the worksheets I assigned today.

I have Test 2 graded and have the statistics to go along with it. The test scores are 19, 26, 27, 30, 34, 35, 45, 46, 50, 66, 67, 71, 72, 73, 73, 74, 75, 76, 81, 82, 82, 86, 89, 95, 96, 97.  The Average was a 64 with a Standard Deviation of 24.  The Median was 72.5. The First Quartile was  45.25 , the Third Quartile was a 81.75.  Look for a previous posts to see what each value stands for if you are not for sure.

I will pass back the test and post a solutions guide to it but we will not be discussing it in class due to time constrants.  If you have questions about the test please feel free to ask them after or before class.

Our unit 7 test is tomorrow!  This test will cover reflections,(x and y axis, origin, and line y=x) translations, (shifting up, down , left, right) rotations (90 degrees clockwise and anticlockwise, 180 degrees)  and dilations. 

Posted are the answers to the study guide I gave out Monday.

 Remember that you can make a cheat sheet to use on the test from a 3″ by 5″ index card or paper cut to size.    If you have any questions, post a comment or email me at mcclendonmath at gmail dot com.  I spelled it out to avoid spam issues.  I will check the blog and email at around 8 and 11 tonight for questions.  Other than that , have a great day!  

If anyone from first block has questions be ready with them becuase we won’t have anytime to review before becuase of clubs.

Remember tomorrow (3-5-08) is test night!  The first of two notebook checks will be tomorrow as well.  I had promised a video explanation of the quiz 3 but had some technical difficulties so only the first few problems are explained.  If you are having any questions I will try to be at class at about 4:00 to answer questions.  I also found a good site.  It’s like a calculator for solving algebra problems.  Link to QuickMath

I will try to post the homework answer keys tomorrow so stay tuned!
