A)+Daily+Summary+Math+9

This page will be used to give a summary of what the class did for the day. As much as possible, I will try posting all notes for the day, but students should be sure to check with either a friend or myself on filling in their notes if there are gaps. It is still the responsibility of students to ensure that they have the necessary information to be successful in class.

**Week 4 - April 4-8**:
Monday April 4: Began investigating linear inequalities. Reviewed definitions and how to apply the terms to inequalities.

Tuesday April 5: Students began with mental math dealing with solving equations. We then investigated drawing number-line inequalities with two boundary points. We examined solving inequalities that are in more complex forms, and that the only difference from their previous unit was that **the direction of the inequality changes when multiplying or dividing by a negative!** The students finished off with an exit slip worth 10 marks. Wednesday April 6: Students began with mental math and then explored solving inequalities involving negatives further. We examined word problems (an ongoing struggle for students).
 * STUDENTS WERE ADVISED THAT THE CHAPTER 9 UNIT TEST ON INEQUALITIES WILL BE TUESDAY APRIL 12.**

Thursday April 7: Students began with mental math. They then examined approaching inequalities requiring multi-step solutions.

Friday April 8: Began with Mental Math and an Exit Slip. Students were provided with a work period to complete their Extra Practice and to ask questions for the up-coming test (TUESDAY).

Monday April 11: Did an in-class review of the p. 370 practice test. Students were then given time to finish any outstanding assignments.

Tuesday April 12: Students wrote their tests for unit chapter 9. On a side note, only one student sought extra help at the times offered, or asked for additional support.

Wednesday April 13: Students began circle geometry today. We began by writing out what they know about circles already (very imaginative) and then we moved on to writing out some definitions about circle components.

Thursday April 14: Students began with a lesson on what is expected for their end of year portfolios. Then we continued to examine circles, and how the components of circles relate to geometry.

Friday April 15: Students began with Mental Math. Class was very quiet today, out of respect for those who live in silence. (I am very proud of the support students provided). We then went over a couple more examples, then students were given an assignment and Extra Practice. Students were returned their chapter 9 test, and must fill in their reflection and have their parents sign and return to me.

Monday April 18: Students began with mental math. Students were reminded to hand in their Chapter 8 and 9 tests with reflections, corrections and parent signatures. We then did an exit slip and reviewed chord properties. Students were given apporximately 15 minutes to complete their page 382 work.

Tuesday April 19: Students reviewed chord properties further and had a work period.

Wednesday April 20: Students had another work period. They were reminded that no work can be handed in after tomorrow (10.1 and 10.2).
