Kiana M. Period 4 said...

Hi. I was told that if you get one problem wrong on your hw assignments that you get no credit on that assignment. Is that true???

Eric X. Per. 3 TA said...

Lizzie, do you mean the Math Common Assessment test?

eTUSD-->My Courses-->All Courses-->Middle School Math Assessment-->Gerson8-->Take test.

Unknown said...

its not middle school math assesment
its on Algebra 1-gerson.
it says Chapter 1 sample test

Kiana M. Period 4 said...

Does anyone know if when you get a wrong answer on a homework assignment that you get no credit? is this true???

Natasha L Per.4 TA said...

I'm pretty sure, Mr. Gerson isn't that what you said?

GiselleBPer2 said...

i hipe i do good on the test tomorrow...and can people stop justsaying 'hi'?this blog is supposed to be for math...
But then again, thats just one opinion...

Natasha L Per.4 TA said...

at least they're not saying "oh yeah first post" "second post" etc.....

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

YOU GUYS HAVE TO WRITE OUT THE PROBLEM AND YOUR WORK!!! Too many of you are getting zeroes on the assignments.

Brooke V. Per.3 said...

My computer will not let me take the online test :(...i guess i will have to just study the book and studyguide

Paula H said...

Anonymous said...

Natasha L Per.4 TA said...

Sean I think I'm gonna kill myself seeing how many zero credits I've given out >.>

matthew y. per. 6 said...

mr gerson do we have to do the online test on etusd? bec i cant get on for some reason so wat do i do?

matthew y. per. 6 said...

nvm it is working just its slow

Mr. Gerson said...

On etusd in my Algebra 1 course, you will find the practice test. It will close at 10:00PM. No, it is not for credit. I am just giving you more opportunities to study. What you study is always your choice.

JennaM.Per.4 said...

Do we show our work on the Mental Math part? (11-17) o_o

Natasha L Per.4 TA said...

no at least i don't think so

Eric X. Per. 3 TA said...

Remember to write the problem down!

BriannaO. Per.6 said...

hello is eric x. there???

Eric X. Per. 3 TA said...

umm...no.

SeanOPer.4 said...

so we dont get credit ifwe dont write the problems?

Natasha L Per.4 TA said...

We need Jake to post on the blog. Because me Sean Eric and Andrew have all told everyone that they need to write the problem and work, most of them still don't write the word problems -_- Maybe Jake's message will actually get to them....

Lui N Per.3 said...

on my homework can i write write it in this way?: ex. solve for the following equations. (1) 4+5x=300 (2) blabla bla
in other words can i just write the instuctions then the problem then the answer?

Natasha L Per.4 TA said...

You have to show the work......you can't just put 4+5x=300 and then bam whatev the answer is..... if you don't show the work too bad no credit for you.... i swear i'v told people this like 20 times already.....

Mr. Gerson said...

They think that if they keep asking your answer will change. It is an old Jedi Mind Trick for parents. If you ask enough, they give into the Dark Side and say "Yes, anything to make you stop asking." Be strong and don't give into the Dark Side.

Mr. Gerson said...

I have an idea. Let us make them justify each step with the corresponding property. That is the way Hull and Magruder are doing it.

Eric X. Per. 3 TA said...

You don't need to write out the directions. Write out the whole problem, including word problems, and show your work:

Example:

4+17x=38 (problem)

4+17x-4=38-4 (Subtract 4 from both sides)

17x=34 (Combine like terms)

(1/17)(17x)=(34)(1/17) (Divide by 17)

x=2 (answer)

Lizzie M. Per. 6 said...

Does anybody know how many points the test we took on Friday was worth? Just asking... Yeah...

Natasha L Per.4 TA said...

Eric that's a great example! thanx

MarcusB. per.6 said...

what was todays homework?

Mr. Gerson said...

Lizzie, have you checked Parent Connect?

Sean K Per.3 TA said...

There was no homework for Friday, I think.

Eric X. Per. 3 TA said...

Marcus, Sept. 18 was a Saturday. :P

I don't think we had homework, unless if you were absent.

BriannaO. Per.6 said...

is anybody on right now??

Mr. Gerson said...

Alternate Example:

4+17x=38 (Given)

4+17x-4=38-4 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

17x=34 (Combine Like Terms)

(1/17)(17x)=(34)(1/17) (Division Property of Equality)

x=2 (Solution)

Mr. Gerson said...

Thanks Eric. I used your example.
