Hello students-
Just checking in prior to leaving when J.J. Kearney finally decides its time to make her way into this world. She's already 1 day late, and I'm sure she's not interested in going anywhere fast.
Just a few reminders/helpful hints for when I am out:
1. Notes Walk Throughs are available in two places. The first is Google Drive. To open these files you need to follow these steps.
- Open Explain Everything
- Choose to upload a New Project from File or Images (it is the second icon on the top left- looks like a notebook paper with a plus sign)
- Choose GDrive
- Go into the "Math Eagles" folder
- Go into the "Notes Walk Throughs" folder
- Choose the Notes Walk Through you wish to watch and open in Explain Everything
You can also find Notes Walk Throughs on my website under the "Notes" tab. The drawback is these are YouTube versions and sometimes due to their length YouTube does not allow them to play.
2. There are several "How to" videos on various topics. To see which "How to" Videos are available please visit the "How to" Videos folder in Google Drive, or the "How to" Videos tab under "Notes" on my website. You can open in Explain Everything using the same steps listed above (You would need to go into the "How to" folder and not the "Notes Walk Through") or view the YouTube videos. The Explain Everything versions let you decide which specific type of problem you want to see and you can jump to that slide and watch only that part of the video.
3. Blank study guides and Study guide answer keys are always available on my website and should be used prior to every assessment. Make sure you aren't just trying to get by without doing study guides or checking answers! Every little bit helps!
This week A period has a quiz on 2.5 (Distributive property) and E period has a mini-quiz on lines/angles/triangles. B and D Period's next assessment is the chapter 3 test, which is next Tuesday, 10/20. Progress reports are due for teachers on Monday morning, so any corrections, or retakes should be done by Friday 10/16 to ensure Ms. Henry or I can get the grade entered for you!
