It's The Weekend, Hallejuah!

It's the weekend. Monday will be here in a second.
For the Advanced Algebra students, here is a video on solving a quadratic by factoring:



The homework is a journal problem from 6-2; it's problem #39 on pg. 345. On Monday, we will start 6-3: Completing the Square.

For the Geometry students, we learned about Geometer Sketchpad. We reviewed angle bisectors and talked about concurrency. There's no homework except to review 6-1 thru 6-3. We will start 6-4 on Monday.

Be Safe!

It's Friday-Eve.

Well, tomorrow is Friday; that's right - homework is due! Luckily there is only one homework assignment due.

In Advanced Algebra, we reviewed 6-1 and used that information to discuss 6-2: Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring. We know how to do it; it was done in Chapter 5. Now we are applying it. The homework is pg. 344 #15-24. Tomorrow, I will put up a video that shows the process of factoring a polynomial, should you have questions during the weekend.

In Geometry, we reviewed 6-2 and used the information from 6-1 and 6-2 to discuss
6-3: Rectangles. Using the theorems and definitions from the section, we were able to apply the distance formula and finding perpendicular slopes. These are the two methods used to justify if four points create a rectangle. The homework is pg. 311
#34-38. Tomorrow we will be in the library to use Geometer Sketchpad-some practice.

Be Safe!

The Second Day of the Second Semester

Today in class:
Advanced Algebra worked 6-1: Solving Quadratic Equations by Graphing. The classwork was pg. 339 #16-19,22-42. You needed to use a graphing calculator with this assignment. We learned how to find the vertex,roots, & axis of symmetry with it. The homework was to review 6-1.

Geometry worked on 6-1: Parallelograms. The classwork was pg. 295-296 #17-34. You needed to review the theorems in 6-1 and concepts (distance formula & slope formula) to solve the problems. The homework was to review 6-2.

On Friday, we will be going to the Computer Lab in the Library for Geosketch Pad for 2nd, 3rd, and 6th hours.

Also, as promised here is the syllabus for both classes: Advanced Algebra and Geometry.

The First Day Of The Second Semester

Hi, Everyone. I am posting several things today. The Problem of The Week; the assignments for the day. The next notebook check is February 13, 2009.

For Advanced Algebra, we are discussing 6-1: Solving Quadratic Equations by Graphing. We did an in-class activity. The homework is to review the material. We'll be discussing 6-1 tomorrow.

For Geometry, we are discussing 6-1 and 6-2: Parallelograms and their tests. We did an in-class activity. The homework is to review the material. We'll be discussing 6-2 tomorrow.

Finals Have Begun!

I hope you all are studying. Next semester there will be suddle changes. I will be posting a new syllabus by Friday for both Geometry and Advanced Algebra Classes.

Good Luck!
