i did completions and attempts Passing yards using 10 players. if i had 1000 attempts how many completions will i have?
this is my equation. y=35/17x - 17
1000=35/17c-17
+17
1017=35/17c
1017/494c

Slope/rate of change
1. What does the slope of a line represent? it represents the direction of line
2. How do you find the slope of a line given the equation? Given the graph? it depends on what data you have, u set up a function and get a slope
3. Why can slope be interpreted as a rate of change?
it doesn't change
x and y intercepts
4. How does identifying the x and y-intercepts of a linear equation help you graph the line?
the graph is basically X and Y lines.. so its easier for us to graph it that way
Slope intercept form
5. Why is the equation y=mx+b referred to as the slope intercept form of a linear equation? because the m is the slope and b is the y intercept and its easy to graph
6. How do you graph linear equations given in slope-intercept form?
start with the y intercept than slope
7. How do YOU determine which method is best to graph with comparing the 3 methods studied?
slope intercept is better and because i feel like its the easiest
Translations
8. Come up with a set of three functions that would be considered a family of functions. Explain. y=1x+2, y=2x+2,y=4x+2
9. How is the graph of f(x) = x related to the graph of h(x) = -2x-3?
10. How can changes in slope affect a graph? it either varies from positive to negative
11. How can changes in the y-intercept affect a graph? its either positive or negative and the shading and all that diffeers

VIRUS PROJECT
12. What are all of the things that you learned mathematically about during the Create your own Virus Project? lines can get confusing. i learned how to make a pattern graping points and writing functions
13. What did you learn about yourself during the project? (need to ask more questions, take better notes, utilize time....etc.....) i didnt think i would finish it
13. What was challenging about the VIRUS project for you? to many lines
14. Looking at your creativity level, what would your rate yourself on a
scale of 1-10? 20
15. Looking at your mathematics learned and achieved, what grade would you give yourself from A - Z?
A+++++
DISASTER AMONGST US
16. How can creating functions from 2 pieces of data help us in a real world situation? helps us with statistics
17. What world problem did you focus on when creating your function? money
18. How can knowing YOUR function, help researchers in predicting or fixing the disaster in the future? its all about numbers and science. if you have that than u can figure anything out
NOTES
19. How will collaborating on notes help with your mathematics now, for projects, and for classwork? memorization and review
20. How can you create the notes so that they can be used in different courses?? good title, date, and step by step and examples..
21. What are you going to focus on to make sure that they are notes that work for you?
organize notes and title them

new blog
1. What would you do the same next quarter that you did this quarter? (notes, attendance, attentativeness, organization,.......etc.) takes notes and show up to class...
2. What would you do differently next quarter that you did this quarter?
try my hardest to stay on top of things
3. How does Mr. Fournier's grade compare to the one you feel you deserve? Elaborate on why you feel this way.
I mean my grade is the way it is b/c i didnt turn in assignments.. its my own fault
4. What part of the subject of algebra did you become best at?
functions
5. What part(s) do you need to work on? How are you going to do that before it is too late?
word problems and a little bit more review on some things so i can be more familiar with it
6. Keeping time & subject material out of the equation (since there is no control of that), what would you like to see Mr. Fournier do differently that would help you next quarter?
I like how the class isn't all about mathh, so i really can't complain about blogs and stuff because i rather do this than math problems.. i just don't like the two combination's at once because it gets confusing and i get unorganized
7. Imagine you were calling your friend who is a year younger and going to take this course next year. Explain to them in 25 words or less how to succeed in this course.
pay attention and always remember what the teacher say
8. Write a summary of the four projects that you did this quarter. (what were they, what type of math did you need to know for each, what math did you learn on the project, how does it relate to real life............etc.)
bell curve, it was alot to do in only a short period of time, and the other projects were okay but i rather do solo work because its harder to stay organized in groups because people aren't responsible.
9. Find some else's blog and leave an insightful comment on one of their postings.
i haven't got any one else on my blog list yet

2. What are the benefits of using technology to learn vs. the standard classroom that we grew up to?
technology is alot faster and more organized
3. Think about the program Wolfram that I linked over to you OR think about your graphing calculators. What are advantages and disadvantages to having the answers provided for you all of the time in mathematics without having to figure them out? How could you use the answers to extend your understanding of mathematics further?
its really good that we have all these different utensils now instead of just having paper and pen
4. What is your favorite part about this class thus far and WHY?
its in the morrning and it goes by sort of fast
5. Imagine you are a teacher. If you were teaching the class, what changes would you make to the learning environment? What would you do to have your students get excited about math?
give out more worksheets instead of using edmodo because it would be faster
6. What are the 5 steps to solving equations?
mulitiply, divide, add, substract,
7. Why do mathematicians show their steps when solving formulas?
to prove their answer
8. What are some common mistakes that you make when solving equations/formulas?
dont show work
9. How do you find the correct answer of an equation by looking at a graph?
find the x,y and the slope

my grades..
What were your goals for school at the beginning of this year? passing this class
What can you do to keep your grade up? turn in homework and other assignments
Are you doing everything you can to achieve the goals that you set for yourself at the beginning of the year?i keep forgetting to do the assignments
What did you learn this week in class?it was sort of like review with all the inequality stuff.
How could you take the Little/Big Giant lesson and apply the idea to the real world? not sure
Do you feel you understand everything that we covered?yes
If you did not understand something in class or were finding yourself making mistakes, what opportunities did you take for yourself to learn the material? (learned at home on the internet, asked a friend, practiced some more......)
i really don't understand how edmodo works that well because i keep forgetting to check it and finding assignments, i dont see why we just dont do worksheets instead and save time and it more easier to keep track of
What grade would you give yourself this week? A+++++ What grade would you give your teachers this week? F+

2nd blog
What did you like/dislike about this project?it should of been an easy projectt because of all the roles we had in a group.
What did you find challenging about learning this way?nothing
Were there opportunities for you to learn inequalities?yeah it was pretty easy
Do you feel that you took advantage of the opportunities to learn? yes i did
Thinking back on your project, what would you keep the same and what would you do differently? the poster was good but we just need to add a couple of more things like a bell curve , etc...

in math...
What i learned so far in math is standard deviation and z scores. We reviewed box and whisker plot, graphs, mean,median, and mode. We took some notes on standard deviation than the next class we had a project. We had to show a box and whisker plot, and we had to show how to do standard deviation on a set of data, and we had to do a bell curve. a bell curve basically helps people with percentage of a certain data. it's shaped like a hill.
how does this math class compare to my other math classes?/ well it's sort of the same at the years before..
sicne its only been 2 week i can't really say much about this class...
How well do i know the material we learned so far?? i think im okay with it, only struggle i'm having is with the z-scores. it would be nice to do more class work on it.
How do i feel about the project??
I think we did a fair job on the project. we needed more time on it because we didn't finish it but i think it deserves at least a C. i think our group did even amount of work on the project. we procrastinated a bit but at least we got work done.
