The Seniors have left the building!

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!
