1. -Vocab-one HSA or IMA word per week and one Algebra II word per week.
-Frayer model: use and tailor to our needs (image-graph?, examples/nonexamples, math use vs. real world use, etc.)
-possible math words: equal, identity, ellipses, zero, evaluate, ...
2. 2 Column notes-increasing academic language.
-"What is it asking you to do?"
-"Where would you start?"
-"What does (this word) mean?"
-"Explain your steps."
3. Moving forward-start planning for Exponentials and Logs

1. Looked at Retirement project from last year. This will be used for our Advanced class for a PBL demonstrating how interest rates in accounts resemble a geometric sequence/series. One tweak: "group" portion of project will now be in pairs.
2. Our regular classes will complete a similar project on making a large purchase of their choice.
3. Looked at planning for next week and shared resources. Friday's lesson should be an Illustrative Math Task "Lifetime Savings" to introduce PBL projects.
