This week quite a few things have happened:
In Advanced Algebra, we discussed the last of Chapter 10: Exponents and Logs. Yesterdays homework was pg. 634 #6-10.
As for the Special Project, it is due on Tuesday, June 2, 2009. The next problem is #6: Based on your data (from #1 thru #4) and modeling #5, what would be the half life of "your C-14"? What did you learn from this project? Be detailed.
In Geometry, we discussed Chapter 11. Yesterday, we discussed Euler's Formula: F+V=S whereas S-2=3. There are five platonic solids: tertahedron (fire), octagedron (earth), hexahedron(air), dodecahedron (ether and/or heaven), and icosahedron (water). Today we generated several formulas for the surface area of various solids:
a square pyramid, a cube, a triangluar prism, square prism, cylinder, and hexahedron.
The homework from Thrusday was to do pg, 570 #1-20.
Here is an adjustment to the schedule from Tuesday. Next week we'll wrap up 11-2 and begin reviewing each chapter until the final.
Be safe!

It's Week 38, post-Memorial Day!
Hi, everyone.
In Advanced Algebra, we discussed 10-6: Solving Exponential Equations. We also worked on our special project for fifteen minutes. We will continue to work on it tomorrow after I introduce 10-7: Exponential Growth and Decay. The homework is pg. 629 #13-30.
In Geometry, we reviewed Chapter 10 by playing Math Jeopardy. Questions from the game will be similar to the test questions. Also, today the tessellation project is due. Every other day it is late is five points less.
Be Safe! It is near the end. Please don't lose focus!

The end is coming. Several Weeks remain!
Hi, everyone.
In Advanced Algebra, we reviewed 10-3: Logs and Their Properties. There was an extra credit assignment that will be placed on-line tomorrow. There will be a quiz on 10-1 thru 10-3. An example of generating an exponential function will also be placed
on-line tomorrow. You will receive the special project on Wednesday.
In Geometry, we discussed 10-4: Area of Rhombi, Triangles, and Trapezoids. An example of each will be placed on-line tomorrow. There will be a quiz on 10-1 thru 10-4. On Thursday you will have a chance to work on the special project.

It's Friday Eve. Homework is due tomorrow!
Hi, everyone.
Today in Advanced Algebra, we discussed 10-3 Logs and Their Properities. That is,
x = log (base b) of y - log (base b) of v is x = log (base b) of (y/v).
Another property is that, x = log (base b) of y + log (base b) of v is x = log (base b) of (y(v)). Another property is that x = log (base b) of b = 1. The other property is that x = log (base b) of b^2 is equivalent to x = 2 log (base b) of b.
The homework is the following pg. 615 #26-34.
Today in Geometry, we discussed 10-3 Area of Parallelograms. That is, the A = L(W) or A = B(H), for any parallelogram. We did an in class assignment on it.

It's Wednesday; so little time, so much to do!
Hi y'all.
In Advanced Algebra, we discussed a new section 10-2: Logs and Log Functions. This lesson follows from exponential functions. That is, y =(b)^x can be translated to
x = log (base b) of y. For example, 9 = 3^2 is also 2 = log (base 3) of 9. Also, we talked about 3^(2x) = 9^(4x-1). It is the same as 3^(2x) = 3^2(4x-1), because 9 = 3^2. This sentence translates into 3^(2x) = 3^(8x-2). Since that have the same base, work with the exponents. 2x = 8x-2. Solve for 'x'. x = (1/3). We mentioned that log (base b) of y - log (base b) of v = log (base b) of (y/v). Tomorrow we will talk about the addition of logs with the same bases. The homework is pg. 608-609 #18-20,31-39.
In Geometry, we discussed the Tessellation (final special project) Project in class. The instructions sheet is self-explanatory.
Tessellations Project
It is due on May 26, 2009. Tomorrow we will tackle Area of Parallelograms. The homework is to work on the template and design of your tessellation.

Week 36! There are 20 teaching days left!
Hi, everyone.
Today everyone started Chapter 10. In Advanced Algebra, we began are exploration of exponential functions, with the lesson titled Mmm...Eminem's M&Ms. Based on situation we will generate a exponential function. The homework is to create a list of values that shows the decline of stores during a recession.
In Geometry, we began are exploration of polygons. We discovered that the equation for interior angle measures of a n-sided polygon is given by the formula:
I = (180(n - 2))/n, for n is the number of sides in a polygon and I is the interior angle measure for the n-sided polygon. We also derived that I + E = 180, where E is the exterior angle measure of the n-sided polygon. These formulas work for a convex polygon. The homework is pg. 519 #22-44.

Advanced Algebra Students
Here is the last journal question:
GAP is selling unisex T-Shirts. The store needs to create a box that fits their needs. The dimensions of the box are as follows: the box is to have square ends, the length of the box is to be 24 inches longer than one side of the square end. The volume of the box is to be 512 cubic inches. Find the correct dimensions of the box.

It's 26 Teaching Days Remaining!
It is a time for urgency. Too many people have developed a bad case of SENIORITIS, and they aren't seniors. Get on the ball and prepare yourselves for what is to come!
In Advanced Algebra, we took a quiz on 9-1 thru 9-3; we also started 9-4: Adding and Subtracting Polynomials. Review this material. The chapter test is on Thrusday for seniors and Friday for non seniors. The homework is to do whatever assignments you got a zero on or a bad grade on. Bring it back by Monday 3:40 pm.
In Geometry, we took did 9-5: pg. 480 #31-36 as classwork. The rest of the hour was devoted to figuring out what assignments needed to be done/redone by Monday 3:40 pm. The chapter test is on Thrusday for seniors and Friday for non seniors.
There will be at least one special project, at most two special project to be done before the close of the card marking.
