Car Project
Here is some helpful advice on your car project:
Insurance: Don’t use your real name. Use 04401 for zip code. Don’t need Social security number.
http://affinity.progressive.com/product/auto.asp?code=8004009339
http://www.geico.com/landingpage/go5.htm?soa=42920&SOURCE=goog&KEYWORD=insurance%20quotes&gclid=CODZ36ubqIgCFR8NTAodOSdWRw
Taxes: After you’ve selected all of your options and added up the price of the car, you need to add in the Sales Tax. (5%)
Financing: You don’t need to apply for financing. Just go to this site and select which kind of car you’re getting. You need to multiply the total price (including taxes) of your car (not including your insurance) by the finance rate and then add that number to the total price.
https://www.eloan.com/s/show/auto?context=auto&sid=UMbC2NC4Twt8H7XV3amMnlsoLAs&user=ggl&mcode=gglkw13mfu
Drivers’ Ed: There are several driving schools in the area.
http://bairsdrivingschool.com/
http://www.northeastautocycle.com/
In this project you will choose a car to buy and decide what the "hidden" expenses will be. You have several worksheets to complete. There are recommended resources on insurance, maintenance, and financing but you can use other resources as well.

Fun and Sun
Dateline: Monday Sept. 18
Today we're going to explore the graph worksheet you had last Friday. First let's go to the website and play around with the numbers.
http://math.rice.edu/~lanius/Algebra/rentacarja.html
Now look at the two printouts of graphs based on the data from the Rent a Car problem. What are the differences between them? What are the similarities? Which is the correct graph? Why? How did I come up with the equations? ---When answering this question you might need to refresh your memory by going through this link:

Parents and Students
In math class today we worked on a graphing activity called "Fun and Sun." Students were given time to work on the activity in class and if they didn't complete the assignement it became homework. In order to complete the assignment students should have a "Fun and Sun" worksheet and some graph paper. This is due Monday, Sept. 18. We will also have our first quiz on graphing on Mon. Sept. 18.
In Civics class we are doing a timeline on the subject "On the Day I was born......" Students should try to find political and governmental events that occured on the day they were born. They should have at least ten events. Five of the events should deal with politics and government. Click on this link to find a help sheet for timelines:

When we finish with this I want you to get your finding slope papers out and using the calculators on your computers change all your fraction answers to decimals.(You do this by dividing the top number by the bottom number). Leave the whole number answers as they are.
After that please go to http://www.1728.com/distance.htm and check all of your answers on your computer.
Remember that this web-site will give you the slope as a decimal.
