What you should be doing this week:

What you should be doing this week:

Each of you should be putting in 1 hour per day for this class, especially if you are behind.

You should have turned in the Module 3 test by now, so if you have not, please do so very soon.

If you started this class late, please continue to get caught up. We are half way through the semester and we have to cover 6 Modules before Winter break.

I have not put Module 4 into Moodle yet, it will begin next week, on Monday 11/2.

If you need anything, communicate with me. Just send me an email and let me know what I can do to help. Mr B

Module 3 – parallel lines – more helpful websites

Happy Friday, I hope everyone is doing well.

I wanted to pass along a couple more websites that might help:

 

For osme parallel line help: http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/angle/transveral-and-angles.php

I found that at www.mathwarehouse.com   You could probably find some other helpful topics there too.

Also, www.tutorvista.com is a website that I have heard a lot of good things about.  I think you can get tutoring help for free.  Look into it and let me know what you find.

Have a good weekend!  Mr B

Wed. 10/21 – Module 3 Test

First off, it was nice to meet many of you yesterday.  I hope that the summit felt productive.

It’s time for the Module 3 test but I need you all to check your review answers before you take the test.  If you have completed the Module 3 lessons, those should be submitted to Moodle.  The review should also be submitted to moodle, but also emailed to me.  Then we can check those answers and fix them before the test.

Here are a couple of websites that may help with parallel lines:

Basic angles from parallel lines:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLg6hfoKKlE&feature=related

Good example on solving for x, y, and/or z: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQUbFCAv_U4&feature=related

I found these on youtube just by doing a “parallel lines angles” search.  You could probably find more.

Email me those reviews!!!

Week of 10/19… Test 3 and COS Summit

Hello to another week.  At this point, you should be done (or almost done) with your Module 3 assignments – there were only 4 of them.  Again:

• Let me know if you are having trouble with any parts of them (email)
• Submit them in Moodle, and
• If you need any answers checked, make sure to email me the attachment as well and tell me which ones you want me to check.

I’ll get to the test in a minute…

Tuesday 10/20 we have the Leadership Summit at the Clovis Online School Campus – All students are expected to attend.

Because of this attendance by you, I will not be assigning anything to work on for Tuesday.  You will, however, receive a grade for your attendance at the Summit.  If you do not attend, you will need to email me and complete a makeup assignment.  Please email me by Tuesday 10/20 5pm.

On Wednesday 10/21  – I will post the Module 3 Test in Moodle.  The test will be due by Friday 10/23 at 5pm.

I will be at the Leadership Summit and I am looking forward to seeing you all there.  Topics that I will discuss when we meet:

1. Daily assignments – little assignments that will need to be completed every day.
2. Submitting Homework – how to get the worked checked.
3. Summary of grades
4. Catching up with the assignments
5. Anything else that you would like to discuss

Monday 10/12 due dates

Welcome to another week!  A reminder that your Module 3 assignments have due dates and those due dates are listed with the assignment in Moodle.  Keep track of these due dates and try to stay caught up.

Please email anytime if you need any help.  One thing being brought to my attention is that some of you would like more feedback on assignments.  No problem.

Submit your assignments in Moodle just as you have been.  If you would like any problems checked, email me those separately and I will respond with feedback.

Elluminate today 3:30-4pm

The link is in the Information Station of Moodle.  See you then.

Tuesday 10/6 – some announcements

Module 2 test – many of you have yet to get this to me…  I’m waiting.  Make sure that you understand the review and then get the test done.  It’s only about 20 mulitple choice questions.

Module 3 due dates – I have posted all due dates in Moodle so that I don’t have to keep listing them here in the Bl0g. Make sure to keep track of those due dates.

For this week, I have 3.01 notes and 3.03 worksheet due by Sunday 10/11(Nothing due from 3.02).  That doesn’t mean you have to turn them in Sunday morning, you can always get them turned in earlier.

Grades - Our first 6 weeks ended last Friday and this is when we turn in a progress report grade for each of our students.  Your grade will be based on your homework completion (from module 1 and 2) and your Module 1 test score.

Don’t freak out if your grade is bad right now, it probably just means that you need to get caught up.  Feel free to communicate with me if you have ANY concerns.  If there is anything that I have learned so far, it is that our communication has to get better.  So please, don’t hesitate to email or message when you have a concern.

Elluminate this week is mandatory – Thurs 3pm

No exceptions, you need to find your way to our Elluminate session this Thursday at 3pm.  Please make sure you know how to do that and contact me if there is any problem.

The Module 2 test deadline has come and gone and there are many of you that did not turn it in.  Please get it to me asap and/or contact me if you are having trouble keeping up with the class.  If you don’t communicate with me, I will just think that you choosing to not do your work.

assignment 2.04 help

I understand that worksheet 2.04 is a tough one so here is a little bit of help.

When filling out the right side of a proof, you need to use the reasons from your reason list.  Basically you pick the one that best fits what is on that line.

Answers to #1 on the 2.04 assignment:

1. given, 2. angle addition post, 3. substitution or transitive (either one is ok there), 4. reflexive, 5. subtraction prop.

Take a good look at those and make sense of them.  That should help with the rest.

Module 2 Test is in Moodle

You’ll find it in the Information Station.  It is due by Friday midnight, that’s tomorrow!

Just as before, email me your answers in a word doc.  Submit all other assignments in Moodle.
