1. HOMEWORK due today: P45 #5
2. P41 Problem 3.4 plus follow-up

OBJECTIVE: •To connect solutions in graphs and tables to solutions of equations. •To find a solution common to two linear equations by graphing. •To understand how the y-intercept appears in tables and equations. •To understand how the rate of change (the coefficient of m) appears in equations and affects the graph of a line. [1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 3.1.1, 4.1.2, 5.2.1] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: P41 Problem 3.4 plus follow-up. Introduction to personal financing, specifically, sales tax, discounts and installment buying. NOTES: I=prt HOMEWORK: Worksheet, Sales tax and discounts

  • Principal and/or Balance - the amount of money or price
  • Sales Tax - a percentage of the principal and/or balance (change to a decimal)
  • Discount - a reduction of the principal or balance expressed as a fraction, a decimal, or a percent.
  • Rate - an Interest Rate or a Tax rate expressed as a percent.
  • Time - The amount of time for a loan to be financed in years

1. HOMEWORK due today: Worksheet, Sales tax and discounts
2. Review I=prt (Installments)
3. P52 #2 and #4
4. P53 Prob 4.1

OBJECTIVE: •To solve an equation of the form y=mx+b symbolically •To connect various methods of finding information in graphs and in tables and by solving equations. [1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 3.1.1, 4.1.2, 5.2.1] ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Continue the I=prt worksheets including the installment buying calculations. Do page 52 #2 and #4. Start on P53 Prob 4.1. NOTES: HOMEWORK: Worksheet - Installment buying.

I = prt

Interest = principal x rate x time

Interest in dollars = principal in dollars x %rate changed to a decimal x time in years
