Algebra 1 – Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Extra Credit
I understand that this Chapter 4 test was difficult and lengthy, however, I feel it is important
that you get used to high stakes testing where time is limited and problems are difficult. It is
important that you spend time preparing and learning the material. Because of the poor grades
on this test, I have decided to change some things up for the remainder of the first semester.
Let’s hope this helps your grade!!!
If you scored less than 83%, you must choose the Chapter 4 interventions and retake the
Chapter 4 Test. After retaking the Chapter 4 test, you will move on to Chapter 5 Lessons and
Chapter 4/5 Extra Credit. I will replace your Chapter 4 Test with your new Chapter 4 Test
grade!!! If you scored 83% or higher, you may move on to the Chapter 5 Lessons and the
Chapter 4/5 Extra Credit.
ALL TESTING AND ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED BY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER
18, 2013 AT 2:45 P.M.
EXTRA CREDIT MUST BE IN MY HANDS BY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2013 AT 2:45
P.M.
Please show your parents this packet with the Chapter 4, Chapter 5, and Extra Credit dates and
assignments and have them sign the bottom of each checklist before you submit them.
PARENTS: The idea behind the checklist and the independent learning component is to allow
your student to learn at their appropriate levels. While, for these Chapters, the tests are on a
scheduled day, the student will be able to customize his or her learning of the concepts. I have
included a pacing guide in the form of a calendar that is designed to keep your student on track.
However, the learning is up to the student so they may skip around and/or spend more or less
time on concepts.
Each lesson may contain all or some of a lesson component, assignment component, an IXL
component, a deeper thinking question, and/or a mini quiz. Many lessons will contain a Kahn
Academy YouTube video targeting the concept. I chose these videos because many students
are currently utilizing Kahn Academy in their Math OAA class and because it allows the
students to watch, re-watch, pause, and rewind the clips to study concepts that are still a little
fuzzy to them.
I will be circulating the classroom helping students individually, in small groups, or in whole-class
style mini-lessons as they seem to need assistance. I will do my best to try to ensure students
are staying on target and on task during class. I need your help keeping your student on target
at home. Your student will be responsible for watching the videos and taking notes for the
lessons at home or in school before class to maximize time spent working on assignments in class
when I am readily available.
Your responsibility is to sign off on the checklist once the student has finished and before the
student takes their test. This way, we can work together to ensure your student is doing their
work and learning the necessary standards. I feel if we work together, we can maximize
learning and their success! Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or concerns!

Chapter 4 Extra Credit (10 points)
Algebra 1 – Chapter 4 Enrichment
Name: _______________________
Date: _________________
Pd:______
Slope-Intercept Form Line Art
Objective: Create a picture, using graph paper, and determine the equation of each line used within your
drawing.
Steps:
1. Get a piece of graphing paper and design a picture. The picture should have at least:
 TEN (10) lines with a positive slope
 TEN (10) lines with a negative slope
 FIVE (5) lines with a zero slope
 FIVE (5) lines with an undefined slope.
2. Color the picture that you created.
3. Label each line of your drawing with a # from #1 - #30
4. Determine the equation for 12 out of 30 lines created. You need to find the equation of at least one
line from each category. (So, you need to create an equation for at least one line with a positive
slope, one line with a negative slope, one line with a zero slope, and one line with an undefined
slope.)
5. Complete the attached information for your picture.
6. Once you have your picture sketched in pencil, you may use colored pencils to decorate your
design.
7. To refresh our memories on positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope, fill in the graphic
organizer using the original copy online: http://www.rollinghills.k12.oh.us/weis.aspx

inequality:

Two Step Equations & Inequalities

One Step Equations and Inequalities

Special Case for Inequalities

Multi-Step Equations and Inequalities
