Patterns & Relations

Students will be able to:

• Translate verbal phrases to algebraic expressions
• Simplify & evaluate algebraic expressions
• Solve 1 & 2 step equations
• Collect data that occurs as a result of relationships between varying quantities
• Analyze graphs & tables to determine relationships between varying quantities on a coordinate plane

Vocabulary

Algebraic Expression: A group of numbers, symbols, and variables that express an operation or a series of operations.

Associative Property: The sum or product stays the same when the grouping of factors change: (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) or (a·b)·c=a·(b·c)

Commutative Property: The sum or product stays the same when order of the addends or factors is changed: a+b=b+a or a·b=b·a

Distributive Property: The product of a number and the sum or difference of two numbers is equal to the sum or difference of the two products: a(b+c)=ab+ac or a(b-c)=ab-ac

Variable: A placeholder in a mathematical expression or sentence; an alphabetical letter is typically used.

Equation: A mathematical sentence that contains the equal sign =

Algebraic expression: A combination of variables, numbers, and at least one operation.

Coordinate plane: A plane that is divided into four regions by a horizontal and vertical number line.

Dependent variables: The variable of the range (y-axis); variable whose values are related to the values of another variable.

Independent variables: The variable of the domain (x-axis); variable whose values are not related to the values of another variable.

Linear Equation: An equation in two variables whose graph in a coordinate plane is a straight line. Example: x+y=1

Linear data: The graph is a straight line in the coordinate plane.

Quadrant: The four sections of a coordinate plane that is separated by the axes.

Dealing with Data

Students will be able to:

·         Create frequency distributions

·         Represent data in scatter plots and box & whisker plots, as well as graphs from 6^th grade standards, and analyze by drawing conclusions about the data

·         Find measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode)

·         Find measures of variation (range, quartiles, interquartile range)

Vocabulary

Measures of Central Tendency: values from a collection of data: mean, median, and mode 

Mean: The average of a set of numbers.

Median: The middle number of a set of numbers.

Mode: The number that appears the most in a set of numbers

Range: The difference between the highest and lowest number in a set of numbers.

Quartile: When data in  asset are arranged in order, quartiles are the numbers that split the data into quarters.

Interquartile: the difference between the upper quartile and lower quartile

Outlier: A value that is very far away from most of the values in a data set.

Scatter plot: A graph that shows the general relationship between two sets of data.

Box & Whisker plot: A diagram that summarizes data using the median, the upper and lower quartiles, and the extreme values. A box is drawn around the quartile value and whiskers extend from each quartile to the extreme data points.

Sample: a selection from a population

Parameter: a quantity that describes a statistical population

Statistic: the collection, organization, and interpretation of data

Dependent Variable: a variable whose value is determined by other variables in a function

Independent Variable: a variable whose value determines that of the dependent variable

Class Materials

Always have the following materials with you in class:

-pencils (all math work should be done in pencil)

-notebook paper

-agenda

-math binders

Binders

               You are required to keep a binder for this class.  The dividers in your binder should be labeled as warm-ups, classwork, homework and vocabulary.  In the homework section all assignments will be recorded on a Homework Recorder.  Those assignments will remain in the binder in the same order as on the Homework Recorder.  A binder check will be given periodically and will count as a quiz grade.

Grades

               Your grade in this class will be determined in the following manner:

                                                  -Tests/Projects                        30%

                                                  -Homework                             10%

                                                  -Classwork                              35%

                                                  -Quizzes                                  25%

Warm-ups

               When you enter class a warm-up problem will be displayed on the overhead projector.  Warm-ups will be collected every week (on Fridays) and will be recorded as a classwork grade.  Each day is worth 10 points.  Warm-ups should be completed on the warm-up sheet provided and kept in the binder until the due date.

Homework

               Homework is assigned almost every night. It will be checked or graded and should be completed to ensure proper retention of concepts learned in class.  I will accept late homework assignments only within the week it was given.  Every day it is late the grade will drop.  For example, if you forgot to show me your homework on Monday or Thursday you have until that Friday to show me your homework for some credit.  Projects and quiz corrections will not be accepted late.

Makeup Work

                

Cobb

County

policy allows a student 1 day per day absent to make up work. 

Textbooks

               Students are assigned a textbook and are responsible for replacement costs of $51.00 if the book is lost.  The textbook is assessable online with a username and password.  Usernames and passwords will be given out in the next few weeks.  If you do not have access to the internet you can receive a copy of the textbook on CD.  All you have to do is bring in a writable CD to your teacher.

Daily Procedures

               Enter class promptly

               Copy EQ? and homework assignment in agenda

               All math work will be done in pencil.

               Chewing gum, food, and drinks will not be allowed.  (Water will be allowed.)

               Work must be shown to receive full credit on work.
