The First Day of ACT Testing! Smaller Classes :)

Hi, everyone!

Since there is ACT testing, all of my classes moved at a slower pace today.

In Advanced Algebra, we discussed conic sections (parabola, ellipse, hyperbola, and circle) and reviewed for the quiz retake on Thursday. Be sure to have yesterday's homework assignment completed for tomorrow's discussion.

In Geometry, (during 2nd, 4th, and 6th hours) we began 8-1: Geometric Mean/Pythagorean Theorem. We discussed the formula for geometric mean: (x/a)=(b/x) or x^2 = ab. We also did an activity to see the similarities between several triangles within a right triangle. The homework is to obtain a list of 10 Pythagorean Primitive Triples by Thursday. Use the internet to your advantage.

BE SAFE!!
