Here are the updates on the freshman progress or lack of it.
 
The two classes are on seperate tabs.  You need to click on both tabs to see all of the students.  Big name in Blue means they were absent and did not hand in.  Big name in Red means they did not hand in their ticket out the door which shows that they care very little about the exhibition, and were being defiant.  These kids were logged in power school and there should be a consequence. 
 
Incomplete is self explanatory.
Needs work will have a circle in the area they need work on the coversheet or a see paper.  That means they had an error in math or a unique error.  They will need to look at the notes on that specific paper.
 
Some general error I saw often.
 
Question:
Make a graph from the rule
 
Incorrect Answer:
Use the rule to make a table---
 
No, they need to explain to do it without using a table
 
Correct Answer
I look at the y-intercept(the number by it self in y=mx+b form) and place it on the graph.  Then I use the slope "the m" to find the next point using rise over run.  Then I connect the two.
 
On section 6 
No graph.  There was no graph on the back.  I told them they needed to attach graph paper.
 
 
On section 7
Show the work to pluging in the points and checking it algebraically.
 
 
On section 8
The another ways are
Elimination
Equal Value Method
Substitution
 
 
They need to have a graph and choose one of the methods and solve it algebraically.  I am sorry the worksheet did not communicate that last part as well. 
 
 
 
Enjoy,
Matt

Gosh, they seemed so confident that they were done with everything!
The math exhibition is causing me to clinch my jaw and is aggravating my TMJ. Please make it stop!
