Good morning everyone and welcome to another installment of the Team E Math blog here at William Penn High School.

This week, we began Lesson 2, Investigation 3 of Unit 2 dealing with Identifying outliers, and beginning to understand standard deviation.  We will complete the identifying outliers packet today in class and will have the 2.2.3 Check Your Understanding assignment due tonight for homework to be handed in tomorrow.  We hope to complete the standard deviation packet by thursday and finish out this week with a group stations activity/assessment.

Good afternoon everyone,
 
Here’s a quick update for you on what went on this week in Math class here at William Penn:
 
We completed our Unit 1 test.  All of the grades for students have been adjusted and entered into the gradebook online.  This information can be access through the Home Access program. 
 
We have begun and completed Investigation #1, Lesson 1 of Unit 2 which deals with mean, median, mode, and graphical plots, such as histograms and dot plots.  We will continue onto investigation #2 next week.  Expectr your students to have homework at least twice next week!
 
Today is the last day of the first marking period!!!!  It has been a pleasure having the chance ot work with all of you in building success in your student’s freshman year here at William Penn High School.  I look forward to continuing the progress that we have made here in the classroom, and I expect much greater things to come in the very near future!
 
Have a great weekend!
