• Consumer Economics:• Step #1: Read and solve the problem located on your desk

(SHOW WORK)• Step #2: Locate your answer choice on the orange MATHO Board• Step #3: Cover your answer with an X on the MATHO Board

(Some students may have the same problem)• Problem:• If pencils cost 20 cents each and pens cost 30 cents each, find the

cost of the following item located on your desk: (Students will be given an individual problem)

• Students will complete a personal assessment of results and will receive an additional Try Again Homework Assignment if incorrect and an invitation to the Week #1 Tutorial session for further reinforcement.

Math III Support Focus– Step #1: Determine if the following problems are

fully simplified and/or simplified correctly– Step #2: If the problem is correct write the step by

step process in words used to solve the problem– Step #3: If the problem is incorrect or not fully

simplified, identify the error in words and solve correctly

• Students will complete a personal assessment of results and will receive an additional Try Again Homework Assignment if incorrect and an invitation to the Week #1 Tutorial session for further reinforcement.

Math II Support Focus• Students will complete the Right or Wrong Matrices

Activity as follows:– Step #1: Determine if the following problems are

subtracted correctly– Step #2: If the problem is correct write the step by

step process in words used to solve the problem– Step #3: If the problem is incorrect, identify the

error in words and solve correctly• Students will complete a personal assessment of

results and will receive an additional Try Again Homework Assignment if incorrect and an invitation to the Week #1 Tutorial session for further reinforcement.

Today’s Agenda• SWBAT assess their personal mathematical background• SWBAT illustrate and explore the Coordinate Algebra

Support Curriculum Standards to be covered during the school year

• SWBAT interpret and explain the class’s Vision of Classic Success

• SWBAT model appropriate classroom behavior and procedures to ensure efficiency of planned quality instruction– (Coordinate Algebra) SWBAT write an algebraic expression for

each verbal expression – (Math III Support) SWBAT add, subtract, and multiply matrices– (Math II Support) SWBAT identify complex numbers

Class MottoScholars?

Nobody rises to low expectations…INCLUDING ME

Vision of Classic Success

Student Scholars will achieve 100% mastery of their personal projected academic goal through

daily 100% participation as a class in the completion of Introduction to new material,

Guided Practice, Independent Practice, Class Projects, and Homework by reporting to class 100% prepared to invest academically daily in Preparation for Collegiate success.

Behavior• Educational

Mindset

Coordinate Algebra/Math II/Math III Support Rules and

Regulations:

• Scholars will report to class prepared to work and with class materials

• Scholars respect classmates, self, and working environment

• Scholars report promptly to class

Scholars Will Report to Class Prepared to Work and With Class Materials

– Arrive with all class materials (textbook, notebook with papers, pencil, class specific materials) and wearing the proper dress code

– Completed Homework– Study for tests and

quizzes– Ready to participate

Scholars Respect Classmates, Self, and Working Environment

– Listen to the teacher– Raise your hand to speak and wait to be

called on– Do not interrupt classmates or the teacher– Learn and let others learn– No use of inappropriate language or

gestures; No public display of affection– Keep your hands, feet and all objects to

Scholars Report Promptly to Class

– Students are expected to be present and on time everyday. When tardy bell rings, you should be in your seat, materials ready and working on the Focus. Excuse letter from parents or guardian is required for day/s of being absent and must be submitted no later than 2 days. Excessive tardiness/absences will be referred to the administrators and social worker.

– Hall passes are issued to students only when necessary or during emergency cases. You cannot leave the first and last 20 minutes of class. In using the restroom, students are expected to return in class within 3 minutes; otherwise, it will be considered as class cutting.

– THE TEACHER DISMISSES YOU NOT THE BELL
