The Weekend has BEGUN!
Hi, ya'll.
Today the students did work that helped review for the thrid quarter assessment that will be given on Monday. Advanced Algebra students should review for Chapters 7 and 8. Geometry students should review for Chapters 6,7 and 8.
Be Safe, I will see you on the after Tuesday!

It's Hump Day.
So, in Advanced Algebra, we discussed 9-2: Direct, Indirect, and Joint Variations. A direct variation looks like the form of y = mx + b (i.e. y = kx). A indirect variation looks like the form of y = 1/x (i.e. y = k/x). A joint variation looks like the form of y = kxz. The difference between a joint variation and a direct variation is that a joint variation involves two or more independent variables. The direct variation involves only one independent variable.
The homework that is due next Wednesday is the following: pg. 559-560 12-28.
So, in Geometry, we discussed 9-4: Inscribed Angles and wrapped up our discussion of 9-3: Arcs and Chords. We mentioned the fact that inscribed angles have their endpoints on a circle. The angle formed is half of the measure of the opposite intercepted arc. The picture below shows this.

It's The Day After Monday :)
In Advanced Algebra, we began our discussion of Chapter 9: Rational Functions. 9-1 involves graphing rational functions. The important things to remember about graphing rational functions are: 1) knowing the vertical asymptotes, 2) knowing the horizontal asymptotes, 3) know the domain of the function, 4) knowing how to graph the function by hand and by graphing calculator, and 5) knowing how to label the graph.
Here is an example:
Graphing Rational Functions
The homework is pg. 554 #13-24.
In Geometry, we continued our discussion of 9-3: Arcs and Chords. The important things to remember our theorems 9-2 and 9-3, which are respectively, [in a circle, if a diameter is perpendicular to a chord, then it bisects the chord and its arc.];[in a circle or in congruent circles, two chords are congruent if and only if they are equidistant from the center.]
The homework is pg. 462 #16-24.
All homework is due tomorrow on Wednesday.Be Safe!

It's The Big Push! Week 32! A few weeks are left before school is out!
Hi, everyone.
We are back in session. Today in Advanced Algebra, we reviewed for the Chapter 8 Test, which will be on Monday. I have recently found out the test will cover Chapters 7 and 8, a standardized test.
Today in Geometry, we began discussing 9-3: Arcs and Chords. We discussed Thm 9-2: a perpendicular diameter that intersects a chord splits the chord in half; Thm 9-3: chords are congruent iff they're equidistant from the center. The homework is pg. 462 #16-24, which will be collected on Wednesday.

It's Spring Break!! Hooray!
Hi, Y'all!
In Advanced Algebra, we took a test. It covered Chapter 8. No homework for the break. When you come back, we will breeze through Chapter 9. Our last Chapter for the year is Chapter 10. Tomorrow I will place the journal question from last week on the blog (I have a scanner at home!).
In Geometry, we reviewed the Chapter 8 Test. I will place a copy of the retake on the blog tomorrow (I have a scanner at home!). When we come back from break, we will start with 9-3. Our last Chapter for the year will be Chapter 11.
Notebook (binder checks) were due today. I was looking for the Chapter 8 Review notes and other such works.
Please be safe during spring break!

One More Day to Go...Before I Give You a Present!
Hi, everyone.
Today in Advanced Algebra, we reviewed for the Chapter 8 Test. The test will cover
8-1 thru 8-8. Due tomorrow is the binder (notebook check) and homework.
In Geometry, we reviewed 9-1 and 9-2. For assistance go to Glencoe.com, go to the mathematics section for Geometry 2001 edition under chapter 11 Circles, and look at our textbook. There are practice lessons, videos and such that were used during class today related to Circles and Arcs and angels.
BE SAFE, PLEASE!

It is a Tuesday. Two days left....
Hi Y'all.
In Advanced Algebra, we discussed Inverse Relations today. We also began studying for the test on Thursday, which is Chapter 8. The homework is review for the test which is pg. 540-541 #10 - 44 even.
In Geometry, we discussed Chapter 9: Arcs and Angels. We derived a formula for arc length. measure of the arc length of AB = (M) (Circumference of the circle containing AB), where M = (the central angle measure/ 360 degrees) and Circumference os C = 2 (pi) r = D (pi). The homework is pg.456 #37-49.

It's Week 30! A Seasonal Break Is Coming!
Hi, everyone.
It's the last week before Spring (Easter) Break. A test has passed and a test is coming.
In Advanced Algebra, we discussed 8-8: Inverses Functions and Relations. If the composition of two functions equals x, then the functions are inverses of one another. There are two methods to see if functions are inverses of one another:
1)graph them such that the graphs are reflections over f(x)= x and 2) algebraically compose the functions within one another to obtain x,
that is f(g(x))= x and g(f(x))= x . The homework is pg. 532 #19-24, 31-34.
In Geometry, we discussed a new chapter, 9 - Circles. Today we covered 9-1: Exploring Circles and 9-2: Angles and Arcs. The class drew circles covering the various terms involving circles, seeing the relationship between circumference, diameter, and radius, and saw the relationship between circles, their interior angles and the arcs. The classwork/homework was pg. 456 #19-36.
Later this week, Advanced Algebra will take a test in Chapter 8 (Thursday); Geometry will continue in Chapter 9.

Apologies...My computer went down again! It's the end of the week.
Hi, Y'all.
It's Friday. Advanced Algebra will take a test next Thursday. Today we covered 8-7: Composition of Functions. The homework is pg. 524 #23-39.

In Geometry, we took a test today on Chapter 8. Yesterday, we reviewed for the test. On Wednesday, we wrapped up our discussion on the Laws of Cosines. Next week we start Chapter 9: Circles.
The next notebook check will be
