Regular Math Objective: Find square roots and cube roots of rational numbers
Regular Math Standards: 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: Classes were extremely short today with one exception because we had a school fundraiser that shortened blocks. With the time we had I was able to do another visual pattern similar to the one the day before with a cubed and squared theme to the rule. We also went over the 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: Students were limited with time in this class as well, so I had them work on our study guide for the quiz that was taking place the following day. I got a fascininating question regarding how to solve the inequality 5 | b + 8 | - 7 < 13 in which the student put the inequality 5 | b + 8 | - 7 > -13 and couldn't get the second solution as a result. She and I were baffled for a long time before I finally stumble on the - 7 needing to be multiplied by negative one.
