Day 29: Day 2 of Cubed Roots

Quote of the Day: “Part of our problem is that we think about ourselves way too much. The more we obsess about our problems, our weaknesses, and our deficiencies, the more we perpetuate them. It’s ironic but true.” - Judah Smith

Question of the Day: "Why did you get 21 for the square root of 1/441?" In reference to my own mistake

Regular Math Objective: Find square roots and cube roots of rational numbers

Regular Math Standards: 8.EE.2 Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x 2 = p and x 3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that is irrational.

Regular Math Lesson Sequence:

1. Visual Pattern #23
2. Review HW 
3. Day two of Engage New York lessons (what was originally the Engage New York Day 3 Lesson HW) 
4. Exit Ticket
5. Assign new homework

Honors Math Objective: Solve multiple step absolute value and compound inequalities

Honors Math Standards: A1-A-REI B3 Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable; including equations with coefficients represented by letters

Honors Math Lesson Sequence: I wasn't in class this class because I had a TenMarks professional development. Thus I left the students 7 problems that could be done in their notebooks and checked on the Chromebook plus homework. It would have been great to be there too because students continue to struggle with absolute value, but we're making serious progress.
