**
 * 4/2 Our goal is to clean up any misconceptions revealed from Systems of Equations Quiz
 * Score Systems of Equations Quiz
 * Focus Problems based on misses
 * Systems of Equations Exam Monday

4/1 Our goal is to Ace the Systems of Equations Quiz
 * Score Practice Worksheet from 3/29
 * Take Systems of Equations Quiz

3/31 Our goal is to have mastered the Elimination Method


 * Master Practice Worksheet odds and/or supplemental work based on assessment
 * Try out Matrices
 * Take a peak at Matrix addition/subtraction
 * Can you figure out Matrix multiplication/scalar multiplication

3/29 Our goal is to have a general understanding of the Elimination Method


 * Review Substitution Method problems
 * Review Graphing Method problems
 * Watch Elimination Method Introduction Video
 * Discussion over video
 * Guided Group Practice
 * Early Finishers ~ Solving using Matrices (Algebra 2/Pre-Calculus Material if you are up to the challenge)

3/26 Our goal is to tie up any loose ends from Substitution Method


 * Check Worksheet/Practice Quiz
 * Loose Ends Problems
 * Investigate Elimination Method
 * Try these problem on your own ~ the answers are below on second page of pdf file

3/25 Our goal for today is to hone the skill of Substitution Method on Systems of Equations.


 * Checkup on p.379 #4-9
 * Finish [|7.2Substitution.pdf]
 * [|Practice Quiz] or Worksheet //Flying Solo//
 * Both will be used for assessment/scores

3/24 Our goal for today is to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to actually // **Substitute** // **values for different variables** **.**


 * Here is a powerpoint with examples/questions/reflections
 * [|7.2Substitution.pdf]

3/23 Our goal for today is to write/reflect on anything we find that stimulates ideas.
 * What do we already know about this?
 * What is new?
 * What does the Substitution Method really represent?
 * How does this relate to our Graphing Method?
 * Which is easier?
 * Are there any set rules as to when to use Substitution instead of Graphing?
 * What is confusing to you?

The key here is to be specific. The goal is deeper than figuring out // what we don't know //. We want to figure out // why we don't know it //.

Go through and follow the links inserted. If there are problems on the page, try and solve them. If you can't figure them out, explain why or what is keeping you from answering them. Here is an [|introduction] to Systems of Equations. These are problems you can solve with your past knowledge. Here is a [|new method] that most of you haven't seen before. For some problems, you'll find that it is much slicker than using the Graphing method [if you don't have easy access to one of our Macs]. This is a [|video example] that might be very useful to learn the Substitution Method. This is the [|best tool] I have come across while browsing the web. I wish I had this when I was still taking math classes.

Practice: p.379 #4-9 to go over tomorrow
