We will be on a minimum day schedule all three days with a 12:36 PM dismissal.
Transformations with Compass, Straight Edge and how to use a Protractor
Searching for videos for transformations with compass, straight edge and protractor.
How to use a protractor. Scroll down a bit, the first video is done clockwise, the 2nd is counter clockwise, which we use more often. http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/protractor-using.html

Linear Regression Online Calculators
I got these searching "Linear Regression Online Calculators." There are probably many more, if you find one you like, email me the link, please!
1) Alcula - Pros: Easy to read, provides graph, sample size (n), x-bar, y-bar, a, b and regression equation in proper y = a + bx form, provides list of data entered, can calculate predicted values (y-hat) for a given x, 14 non-zero digits of accuracy. Cons: Does calculate Correlation coefficient (r) but have to go to 2nd page, doesn't provide r-squared (can get from r), seems kinda slow to process.
2) MathPortal.Org - Pros: Easy to read, provides graph, lists data input, proper y = a + bx format, provides explanation of work. Cons: Have to use 2nd page for Correlation coefficient (r), doesn't provide r-squared (can get from r), doesn't list a and b separately, only gives values to 1000ths (won't work well with real small numbers), no predicted values.
3) GraphPad - Pros: Easy to use, enter data in lists like calculator, , provides Coefficient of Determination (r-squared), provides info for later sections (95% C.I. for slope, x and y intercepts, P-values) Cons: Uses y = bx + a format (a and b not given, just in equation), doesn't provide data list (useful to check accuracy of data input), worked great once, can get to work again.
4) Correlation and Regression applet - Pros: from publisher of book, quick visual exploration of regression - does not use numbers, can easily explore data such as outliers, changing one observation or adjusting clustering. Good for testing conjectures about data. Cons: No input of numbers, not for use in getting a regression equation for specific data.
Access to Online edition of Textbook
Students are suppose to have access to the book online via your LAUSD email address. Here is what LAUSD tells me:
Log in with your LAUSD SSO using your full email address and password (ex: student login - [email protected]). All students are suppose to have these email addresses, but I don't know if or how many know about them (or remember them). I have not been able to test this, since I don't have a student ID/email. If you try it, please email me with your results.
