Chapter 9 Word Problem Challenge

This last chapter was a very important chapter because it teaches us methods of solving all sorts of real-world problems that involve more than one variable.

Write a wind, water current, or puzzle word problem that you think is challenging. Then solve the problem, providing only the answer in the same post. The most challenging two problems from the class with the correct answers will receive bonus.

Moving Along...

Yes, we're moving fast. I supply examples in class and explanations in the solutions on the wiki, as well as post keynotes and open my door to questions every day. Answer the following questions:

1) Are you preparing yourself the way you should be? If yes, how are you preparing? If not, what are you doing, and what could you be doing better?

2) The bar has been set high in the mathematics department at KIS. Do you feel like you are a strong enough student to excel in high school mathematics? Are you organizational skills excellent, adequate, or below where they need to be?

Why are we graphing equations???

Answer these three questions about Chapter 8.

1) In your opinion, what is the point of graphing equations? What does it help us understand?

2) Do you feel like you understood all of the concepts prior to this test? Which was the most difficult concept for you to understand?

3) Make one goal for the 4th quarter, but do not make it about grades. For example, if you want your grade to be higher, what can you do to make that happen?

This blog will be graded based on the completeness and thoughtfulness of your responses.
