SAT Prep Week 1 Warmups Monday LT I

SAT Prep Week 1 Warm-ups

Monday LT: I can use precise language, domain-specific vocab and techniques

Accept vs. except 539 or receive something that is offered Accept: page: to take Ex: My neighbor said he would accept my apology for trampling over his rose beds as long as I help weed them in the spring. Except: to leave out or exclude; usually used as a preposition meaning “with the exception of” or “excluding” Ex: The soldier was excepted from combat duty because he had poor field vision.

Affect vs. effect Affect: to have an influence on something; it is an emotion pg: 539 usually a VERB or behavior; Ex: Eli refused to let the rain affect his plans for a picnic, so he sat under an umbrella and ate his sandwich. Effect: to bring something about or cause something to happen; an influence or result; usually a NOUN Ex: The newspaper article about homeless animals had such an effect on Zarak that he brought home three kittens from the shelter. The young activist received an award for effecting a change in her community.

Tuesday LT: I can identify slope-intercept and use it to solve word problems

Linear Equations 110 points total on test A lemonade stand’s profit is given by the equation p= 2 c-8. 5. Which of the following does the number 2 most likely represent? A)The price of one cup of lemonade B)The profit generated from the sale of one cup of lemonade C)The minimum number of cups of lemonade that must be sold to earn a profit

Linear Equations 110 points total on test A lemonade stand’s profit is given by the equation p= 2 c-8. 5. Which of the following does the number 2 most likely represent? A)The price of one cup of lemonade B)The profit generated from the sale of one cup of lemonade C)The minimum number of cups of lemonade that must be sold to earn a profit

Reasoning p= 2 c-8. 5 2 = price of one cup In a real-world scenario, the slope of a line represents a unit rate and the y-intercept represents a flat fee or a starting amount. The profit equation is linear and is given in slopeintercept form (y=mx+b). The number 2 is the slope (m), which represents a unit rate. To determine between A and B, compare the description to the equation. 2 must be the price per cup of lemonade.

WEdnesday LT: I can maintain a formal style and objective tone while attending to the norms and conventions of the writing provided.

Practice for Affect vs. effect affect effects 1. Wars ________ everybody, and their destructive ________ last for generations. effect 2. Television has a affect strong ________ on public opinion. effect 3. My mood can _______ my thinking, too. affect 4. Falling on my head had a bad ______ on my memory. 5. His years of smoking have negatively ______ed his health.

Practice for Accept vs Except except 1. The whole family is going to the reunion in Florida ________ me. Except 2. _______ for Rose, no one liked the movie. accept 3. Please _________ our invitation for dinner. accept 4. The tired man had to __________ the fact that he must stop and rest. except 5. All the players _______the goalie wore white shoes.

Thursday LT: I can solve a system of equations using either substitution or combining

Systems of Linear Equations 50 total points on test x+y = 29 x+2 y= 12 If the ordered pair (x, y) is the solution to the system of equations above, what is the value of y? A)-17 B)12 C)46 D)75

Systems of Linear Equations 50 total points on test x+y = 29 x+2 y= 12 If the ordered pair (x, y) is the solution to the system of equations above, what is the value of y? A) B) C) D) -17 12 46 75

Reasoning When solving a system of linear equations, always look at the coefficients of the variables to decide on a strategy. Here, because you’re looking for the value of y, subtracting the first equation from the second equation will get you to the answer the quickest. x+2 y = 12 -(x+y = 29) _________ y = -17

Friday LT: I can take notes from a lecture-based format to prepare for college lectures, business meetings, etc.

Please watch, enjoy & take notes on the following: Ted Talk Trevor Timm: How free is our freedom of the press? https: //www. ted. com/talks/trevor_timm_how_free_is_our_freedo m_of_the_press

Compare & Share Good note-taking is not finished when the lecture is completed. Take a moment and compare your notes with your seat partner. Add in info that you may have missed in a different color (pencil or pen) to prove that you’ve done this activity!
