Week 3 - August 17 - August 21

Monday - warm up - Formulation
                 Work session - Students work in pairs on two Linear programming problems from start to finish. LP Practice 2
                Closing - groups will present their solutions to the class problems and explain their process.

Tuesday - Warm up - Formulation
                  Work Session - Students will be divided into groups. As a group, students will go through all steps of a linear programming problem but rotating through 6 different problems.
     Step 1: Define the decision variables : teams will have 3 minutes to define the variables
Students rotate to the next problem. They will double check the group before them and then do
     Step 2: Objective Function: teams will have 5 minutes to create the objective function
Students rotate to the next problem. they will double check the group before them and then  do
     Step 3: Create constraints
Students rotate to the next problem. Double check the groups before and then do
     Step 4: Graph
Students rotate to the next problem. Double check the groups before and then do
     Step 5: Corner points and calculations
Students rotate to the next problem. Double check the groups before and then do
     Step 6: Identify the solution and write the sentence
Students return to their original problem and double check all the work and confirm that it is correct.

                  Closing: Students reflect in their notebooks about the process and what they are still struggling with.

Wednesday - Lego Play Day
                 Warm up - take the warm up from Tuesday and solve the problem.
                 Work session - Students will work on the Lego table and  chair problem in teams of 4 or 5
                                        - Students will work on the shoe Linear program problem

Today's practice problems came from  http://mathinscience.info/public/0%20No%20Match/Teach%20Folder%20No%20Matches/linear_program/linear.htm

                  Closing - 3-2-1

Thursday - Students will practice graphing systems and complete 2 linear programming problems and turn in before they leave

Friday - SLO Pretest and review for the unit test on Monday, August 24
