It's Post Mosaic Day!

This week in Mathematics....

In Advanced Algebra, we are discussing Relations and Functions. We are exploring domain and range with the graphing calculator. Today we will look at the differences between relations and functions more.

In Algebra, we are discussing square roots and reviewing for the retake of last week's test. Here is the review:

Know who to do the following....
1) There will be several questions regarding the real numbers; can you give examples of them?
2) There will be several questiosn regarding the comparison of numbers; what number is greater/less than the other? Which ways can you compare two fractions?
3) There will be several questions regarding the addition of real numbers; subtraction is addition of the opposite.
4) There will be several questions regarding the multiplication of real numbers; division is multiplication of the reciprocal.
5) There will be several order of operation problems; PEMDAS.
6) There will be several real number property problems; can you give examples of the properties.
7) There will be several distributive property problems. Can you distribute and add like terms?

The retake is Friday.

In Geometry, we are talking about "Drawing Conclusions". What conjectures can be made based on given information. Given a conjecture, can you determine if it is true or false? If false... with a counterexample?

For instance...
1)Billy has attended school for seven hours and ate two large meals. Billy went to football practice for two hours and ate one large sub sandwich. Billy drove home on the freeway for 65 minutes, while drinking coffee. Ten hours later, Billy wakes up in the hospital. What could have happened to Billy?
2) Given:Segments AS and SD are congruent. Conjecture:S is the midpoint of AD.

See you soon, Mr. T.
