Assignments for Friday, 9/23

Discrete Math:
Today we discussed the case of dividing a cake equally among hungry people using a mathematical method that insures everyone receives what they feel is their "fair share."  The assignment is a series of 9 questions (on a worksheet) that imagine different scenarios and methods - some fair, some not.

Algebra II:
Today we reviewed answers from yesterdays packet on linear equations, then everyone took a 2-question quiz.  After, we took notes on Direct Variation, which is exactly the same as the linear equation y = mx + b, except b is always zero.  That and mathematicians change the m to k.  It's the same thing, it just looks different: y = kx.  I don't know why we do this, but it certainly provides another reason why some don't like math!  The assignment is 2-3:1-16.

As a reminder, if you desire additional review, try some on-line practice:
