Q4 Week 1: this week begins 4th quarter. Learners will begin their study of quadratics. In addition, we will continue to
review and practice basic skills of solving equations, working with polynomials, and graphing. Managing the excessive
talking is becoming a problem as learners are easily distracted. I will pull back on the team activities and delegate
more time to independent task encouraging students to manage their time.
Looking Ahead: Q4 assessments
