2nd Semester under way…

mrbrandl — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 03:05:26 +0000

To begin the 2nd semester, you should be working on Module 6. I have set up the 2nd semester so that you have exactly one assignment per day.

For example, during the first week, you should have completed Assignments 6.01 to 6.05. During the 2nd week, you will need to complete 6.06 to 6.09. I only assigned 4 during week 2 because of the CAHSEE test the 10th graders took. Here’s a schedule for Module 6:

Week of 1/25 – 1/29: Assignments 6.01 – 6.05 – One per day.

Week of 2/1 – 2/5: Assignmnets 6.06 – 6.09 – One per day, except for Tuesday.

2/8 – Holiday 2/9 – 6.10 2/10 – 6.11 2/11 – 6.12 2/12 - Module6 Test

Email me for any questions. You will not be able to receive full credit if you don’t turn each assignment in on time.

Review Worksheet for the final exam…

mrbrandl — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 22:09:48 +0000

The Review for your final exam is now in Moodle. I placed it in the Information Station. This is your assignment for next week. You can break it down to about 15 problems per day:

(It is worth 50 points!!!)

Monday 1/11 – Problem #’s 1-15

Tuesday 1/12 – #’s 16-30

Wednesday 1/13 – #’s 31-45

Thursday 1/14 – #’s 46-60

Friday 1/15 – #’s 61-76

Print the document and do all your work on the worksheet. Scan and email if you have a scanner. Otherwise, create an answer sheet in Word and type in your answers. Submit via email.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Mr B

Welcome back!!!

mrbrandl — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 18:52:55 +0000

Welcome back from vacation. I hope all of you had a restful break and/or got a chance to get a little more caught up if you needed to.

Important things – write these down!!!

1. We are now closing in on the end of the semester. The last day to turn in any work for credit is Wednesday January 20th, that is 2 weeks from tomorrow.

2. Your Module 5 test is in Moodle for you to complete by the end of the week.

3. Next week you will have a final review packet to work on that will help you prepare for your final.

4. Your final will be given to you the week of Jan 19-22. I am not sure yet if it will be online or at the school. My guess is online, but like I said, I’m not sure yet.

So make sure you get things submitted to me so that I can give you credit for everything, including all your Module Tests.

Let me know what I can do to help.

Mr B

What you should be doing this week:

mrbrandl — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:37:41 +0000

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

mrbrandl — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:33:16 +0000

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

mrbrandl — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:19:19 +0000

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!!!
