2. Warm-Ups: Equation drill
3. Page 58ff 11 and 12 and 14
4. Formula handouts

OBJECTIVE: 1.5.1 Apply knowledge of linear relationships to recognize, extend, and/or create patterns in tables and graphs. 1.5.2 Determine a rule for linear patterns and sequences with combinations of two operations in the rule. 4.2.2 Represent numerical, measurement, geometric, probability, statistical, and/or algebraic information in graphs or other appropriate forms. 5.1.2 Relate and use different mathematical models and representations of the same situation. 1.2.5 Use formulas to determine measurements related to circles, triangles, and rectangular prisms. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Page 58ff 11 and 12 and 14. Writing rules from tables and graphs. NOTES: The emphasis is on the ability to determine the variables nd the rate from the information given in a narrative, a table or a graph or some combination of all three. HOMEWORK: Plot dot2dot in 4 quadrants.

1. HOMEWORK Due today: Plot dot2dot in 4 quadrants.
2. Warm-Ups: Perimeter and area problems
3. Make a dot to dot puzzle

OBJECTIVE: 1.5.1 Apply knowledge of linear relationships to recognize, extend, and/or create patterns in tables and graphs. 1.5.2 Determine a rule for linear patterns and sequences with combinations of two operations in the rule. 4.2.2 Represent numerical, measurement, geometric, probability, statistical, and/or algebraic information in graphs or other appropriate forms. 5.1.2 Relate and use different mathematical models and representations of the same situation. 1.2.5 Use formulas to determine measurements related to circles, triangles, and rectangular prisms. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: create a dot to dot puzzle in 4 quadrants. Students will enhance skills in 4 quadrant graphing by creating a dot to dot puzzle according to the posted guidelines. Students must complete 2 separate items - the picture and then a list of coordinates on a separate sheet. NOTES: Standardize the grid and the information sheets. Use the Shodor link to check. HOMEWORK: finish coordinate list

The guidelines for the dot-to-dot picture: Set up a piece of 1/4 inch square graph paper with an x and y axis in the center.

1. Must have points in all 4 quadrants
2. Minimum of 30 points
3. Points must be in order and numbered. You cannot pick up the pencil and move to another place.
4. Lines MUST change direction at a point (i.e., a straight line only has points at the end - no intermediary points)
5. Retracing a line is allowed, but remember the line must change directions at a point.

The picture must be something recognizable. Some exclusions include:

• no logos
• no letters, initials, words
• no robots or space aliens
• no designs

Some acceptable designs might be vehicles, buildings, plants, animals, people and cartoon type characters.
