Hi everyone,
Since I am in training for the next two school days, I have posted some videos I made about inequalities. There are three videos and they are each about 3-4 minutes long. All three videos follow the notes you should have received from the substitute. The videos have sound, so you can use your headphones or not, but be sure to have sound. After watching the videos and completing your notes, follow the directions below the links. Shot me an email if something is not working or you have a question: jeverson@irvingisd.net.

Reminder: if you are not understanding something, watch the videos again and ask the people around you for help.
After completing your notes and watching the videos ask the substitute for the worksheet on graphing inequalities. If you do not finish your graphing inequalities worksheet, you may do so on Friday. After everyone has finished watching the videos the substitute should hand out a matching game. You must match the inequality to the correct graph.
On Friday you will have a quiz over PEMDAS and a little over inequalities.
After the quiz finish the graphing worksheet from Thursday. When this is complete turn it into the substitute. For the remainder of the class you may play the dice game (if you need a new sheet feel free to get one on the table by my desk). You can play by yourself or with a partner. If you do not want to play the dice game then ask for a worksheet from the "extra work" folder on my desk.
Please stay busy and well behaved. I do not want to receive any negative comments from you. Remember, shoot me an email if you have any questions.

Dice Game Directions
Here is a quick review of instructions for the dice game. You may play as a whole group, with a partner, or completely by yourself.
1. Take a look at your game sheet. There are 10 rounds and 5 boxes in each round. There is a column for an equation and a column for points.
2. You should have 5 dice, roll all the dice and put the 5 numbers you roll in the five boxes in round 1.
3. Your job now is to make an equation using only those 5 five numbers. You may add, subtract, multiply, divide, use the numbers as exponents, and use parenthesis.
4. The trick is that the equation you create has to have an answer that corresponds to the round you are in.
For example: if your group is in round 1, then the equation you create must have an answer of 1.
In round 5, the equation you create must have an answer of 5
5. You do not have to use all the numbers you rolled, but the objective is to use them all and the more you use the more points you will earn
6. Points: If you are able to create an equation that uses all 5 numbers and has the correct solution then you earn 6 points.
If you are only able to use 4 of the numbers then you get 4 points.
If you are only able to use 3 of the numbers you rolled then you get 3 points, and so on.
Good Luck!

Welcome and Introductions
Hello hello hello! Welcome to a new school year and a new start. This year you have been given a unique opportunity to complete two years of math in one school year. This will get you caught up and on track for next year.
To be successful it will take dedication and a positive attitude. Your previous math history and performance has no influence on how you do this year, so start strong and believe in yourself. I am here to help improve your math skills in Algebra and teach you Geometry. This will be a collaborative process involving everyone, so get ready to teach and learn!
Throughout the year this blog will be referenced with information and instructions posted for you, so become familiar with it.
To start this process, a link is posted below that provides a google form for you to fill out. You need to answer all the questions to the best of your ability.

When you have finished, start reading the syllabus, we will review it in a few minutes.
