Nov.+1-Nov.+5

= Transitional Algebra I = = Goals for 11/1 to 11/5:= Graphing points, coordinate planes, linear equations, solving equations for "y" Learning Targets: 1. I can graph an ordered pair and properly use a coordinate plane. 2. I can identify linear equations and standard and slope-intercept form of equations. 3. I can solve any equation for y in slope-intercept form. Cautions: 1. BE SURE TO START AT ORIGIN(0,0), GO LEFT(-) OR RIGHT(+), THEN GO UP(+) OR DOWN(-). 2. MAKE A "C " HELP KEEP YOUR QUADRANT ORDER CORRECT. 3. UNDERSTAND SOLVING EQUATIONS AND ORDERING WHEN SOLVING FOR "y".
 * I will be able to identify the axes and quadrants.
 * I will be able to graph a point by shifting left or right first and then up and down.
 * I will be able to identify the x-and y-coordinate when given the graph of a point.
 * I will recognize a linear equation based on variables and their exponents.
 * I will be understand Ax+By =C as standard form and y=mx+b as slope-intercept form while understanding what A,B, C, m and b represent.
 * I will be able to isolate the y term using inverse operations.
 * I will organize the equation into y=mx+b by placing the x tem first and the constant second.

 * 1) Warm Up: Study and discover the coordinate plane on Coordinate Plane, Steps 1 - 4.{ Be sure to go through steps 1 through 4.}
 * 2) Draw a coordinate plane and label the x axis, y axis, Quadrants I to IV, graph one point in each quadrant and label it. Having trouble graphing a point? Try Graphing points on a Coordinate Plane.
 * 3) Now let's play- Pick one and enjoy graphing!
 * The Coordinate Plane Game! {Keep in mind, you get more points the faster you answer!}
 * Find the Alien. {Read directions first, then begin playing!}
 * Billy the Bug {The faster you graph, the grubs you get.}
 * 1) Discussion Time: Please give me some feedback on today's lesson on the Discussion Board.
 * 2) Homework: Workbook Chapter 1 Section 10
