This week, we'll be diving into the world of imaginary numbers, the subject matter of Unit 4 - Extending the Number System. It's all about what happens when you try to take the square root of a negative number (your calculator won't even give you an answer if you try to use it)! We'll also be examining the different ways to represent radicals - you don't have to use just the radical symbol! The schedule for the week should look like this:
Mon 2/23 - Refresher on simplifying square roots & intro to imaginary numbers
Tues 2/24 - Imaginary and complex numbers
Wed 2/25 - Continuing work with imaginary & complex numbers
Thurs 2/26 - Exponent rules refresher & simplifying exponents
Fri 2/27 - Converting radical and exponentials; rational and irrational numbers
As always, check the tab "Class notes & handouts" to get a second look at any power points or lessons from class, another copy of a handout or homework you may need, or a graphic organizer you may be missing.

Analytic Geometry week of 2/16/15
Well, after an eventful start to the week - of 2 unexpected days off! - let's get this show back on the road! Our Unit 3 Test that was originally scheduled for Tuesday 2/17/15 will be given on Thursday 2/19/15 instead, and the rest of the schedule adjusted accordingly. This (shortened) week should look like this:
Wednesday 2/18 - Finish Review stations from last Friday, and work on test review materials in class (whatever isn't completed in class becomes homework). It is to be turned in on test day, as usual, as was announced in class. Students should check their answers posted here as well.
Thursday 2/19 - Unit 3 Test (Circles & Volume)
Friday 2/20 - Intro to Unit 4 - Extending the Number System
As always, please check the tab above for any notes, lessons, handouts, etc. from class that you may have missed, need an extra copy of, or would just like to go back and review.

Analytic Geometry week of 2/9/15
This week, we'll be finishing up Unit 3 - Circles, focusing on all the different types of line segments in circles, and the relationships that exist between them, as well as the angles that they can make. Then we'll move on to 3-dimensional figures like cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres, as well as their real-world applications. The schedule this week should go something like this:
Monday 2/9 - Peer teaching activity on inscribed angles
Tuesday 2/10 - Tangent lines lesson
Wednesday 2/11 - Intro to 3-dimensional figures
Thursday 2/12 - Continuing in 3-dimensions
Friday 2/13 - 3-dimensions in the real world
The Unit 3 Test is scheduled for next Tuesday, 2/17/15 (which has been announced in class multiple times, as well as posted on the board for the past week and a half). Students will receive a paper study guide on Monday to help guide their preparation for the test, but they have a lot of the material already in their possession in the form of notes and class activities, so they can start going over them on their own now.
As always, don't forget to go to the tab above if you need another copy of a handout from class or to refer to a lesson again!
