Attached is the Answer Key for the Study Guide. You are allowed to use the notecard that I handed out in class today to copy down the formulas and information below and use it on the test :) You may also include any examples you wish as long as it fits on the note card. **I will not allow any other piece of paper to be used on the test. If you lost your note card, it was your responsibility and you lost the opportunity to have this aid. Sales Tax: Subtotal x Sales Tax Rate (%) = Amount of Sales Tax ($) Subtotal + Amount of Sales Tax ($) = Total Payment Due Commission: Total Sales Made x Commission Rate (%) = Commission Earned ($) Salary + Commission Earned ($) = Total Paycheck Interest: Interest = Principle (Initial Amount Borrowed or Put Into Account) x Rate (%) x Time (years) I = P x r x t

We are continuing on with Sales Tax, Commission, and Interest. I have some book work as a review from the time off. We will be having a study guide and game day for the test that is going to be happening later this week.
Percent of Change is identifying the amount of change between two amounts and figuring it as a percent from the original amount. For example: We started with 80 students and when to 90 students. We need to find the amount of change (difference), which is 10 students. We need to now figure what percent is 10 out of 15. We can use the formula for percent of change which is shown below. You can use this formula for percent increases and decreases.
We are going to have a Review Day on Friday and Monday. Friday I will be giving out a Study Guide for us to work on. There will be a weird schedule due to the Veterans Day Assembly so I do not want to give a test to a class who only has 25 min and another class gets a full period.
Then on Monday, We will have a game day, Pick what game you want to play! The next couple says we will be working on a packet that goes over solving all types of inequalities and all their parts. I believe the only way to really understand inequalities and remember the special cases is to just practice, practice, practice! :)
Take this time to work with others on solving and also meeting with me at the back of the room for one-on-one time! We will now be taking all the skills we learned with solving equations, and applying them to solving inequalities. We solve inequalities the SAME way we do with equations, but we are working with <, > signs. There are special cases that we need to remember though:
We did a review of the assignment we completed in class and also talked about how we transition into solving two step equations. It is simply put that if we are applying the inverse operations, or the opposite operations, we have to do everything else opposite when we carry numbers over the equal sign. Therefore, instead of wanting to do PEMDAS ---> SADMEP is the way to go! We have to apply anything with addition/subtractions before doing multiplication and division. Another way we talked about how to think of doing this process is getting rid of the 'lone rangers' or numbers with no variables attached first before anything with a partner (Variable).
REMINDER: The worksheet handed out in class today that you had time to work on is homework, BUT you only have to complete the front page (1-12) DUE FRIDAY. The packet with Simplifying Expressions is DUE FRIDAY, you have had all week to work on this assignment, and many of you have already completed and turned it into me. Your Simplifying Expressions Packet is due on FRIDAY!!!
We covered a lesson about solving one-step equations and how we go about isolating the variable. You must apply the inverse operations to get everything besides the variable on the other side of the equations. Inverse Operations are the opposite of operations, for example: Multiplication and Division are opposite as well as Subtraction and Addition. See the slide below for examples that we covered in class! or there are better explanations in the pdf book that can be found on the home page.
Since we don't have a lot of time to cover anything new, I handed out a packet covering the topics in the Lesson on Algebraic Expressions:
THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK! ENJOY YOUR LONG WEEKEND:) -Ms, Sutherland We left rates in the dust and moved on to our next unit, Algebra! :) An introduction to setting up expressions from word form to number form, and combining like terms was done today. We also tackled factoring and the distributive property. Check out the slides below for a better look!
We did a quick review of representing constant rates as an equation and by graphing. The rest of the time was yours for you and your partner to work on graphing and writing equations :)
WHEN FINDING THE CONSTANT RATE: YOU DIVIDE X BY Y --> Y/X=CONSTANT RATE (K) WHEN YOU ARE GRAPHING, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR Y AND X AXIS MEASURED ACCURATELY. THE STARTING POINT (ORIGIN) MUST BE 0. There will be a Mini-Quiz tomorrow over this topic. And then we will be moving on to something new. We refreshed our minds today with going back to constant rates from about a week ago. To find a constant rate, we simply find the unit rates of all the rates given and determine if they have equal unit rates. If they do, then we have a constant rate of change. Instead of simply stating yes or no that a rate is constant, we can represent it in two more ways. One, by the equation y = kx, where k is the constant rate occurring, and Two, by graphing the rates as ordered pairs (x, y) on a graph. If the line created is a straight line travelling through the origin (0, 0), then we have a constant rate.
We spent the time in class today to correct the answers on our study guide for the test tomorrow. The rest of the period consisted of creating a graph based on a randomly chose set of data given to you.
We are going to the computer lab today to make our bar graph and pie chart online! Class time will be spent completing this and you should have PLENTY of time to do so AND be creative:) You will get extra points for un-ordinary graphs and using the cool tools that Google offers.
We filled out our chart that we need as data to be able to make our graphs in the Computer Lab tomorrow, 10.17.17. You will need to have this finished as homework before class. Class time will not be spent completing this chart in the computer lab. Point will be lost for unpreparedness. I also handed out a study guide for the test we will have on THURSDAY, 10. 19.17. This is not due until Wednesday.
Today we are collecting data for the bar graph and pie chart we will be creating in the Computer Lab next week. The rest of the time spent was on a packet full of graphs that we needed to read and answer questions about. You guys did very well overall! It is attached for those of you who may have missed out.
Start looking over the packet I handed out in class today about Graphs! I recommend every night you get familiar with the different types of graphs and the different components of each one. We just started with an introduction of what types of graphs we will be looking at, but hold on to this packet because you will be using it for the next couple days:) NO HOMEWORK
Attached is the key for the study guide for the test! REMEMBER: the test is moved to TUESDAY, OCT 10. due to events at the school and a guest speaker. Please have this study guide done before the weekend so that you do not put it off until Monday night. That way you have something to study over the weekend :)
As a review, I handed out a Sample Test that is VERY similar to the set up and types of questions that will be on the quiz. In class this was completed, and if we had time, we checked our answers together. Attached to this post is the answer key for the study guide. I recommend you take the study guide home to prepare for the quiz! YOU NEED TO BRING THE STUDY GUIDE BACK! I WILL GIVE YOU POINTS FOR COMPLETING IT.
In class, we wanted address any concerns that you may have on Converting Unit Rates. We went over the worksheet we just completed, so you all should have corrected problems for you to look over and study. I will be having a QUIZ on Friday, 9.29.17 over Unit Rates and Converting Unit Rates
