Analytic Geometry week of 3/30/15

This week, we'll finish up Unit 5 - Quadratics, and introduce Unit 6 - Modeling Geometry.  Monday will be more test review, Tuesday will be Unit 5 test.  Wednesday - Friday, we'll focus on Circles in the coordinate plane.

Mon 3/30 - More test review

Tues 3/31 - Unit 5 Test

Wed 4/1 - Solving linear & quadratic systems algebraically

Thus 4/2 - Circles in general & standard form

Fri 4/3 - More circles in general & standard form

As always, don't forget to stop by the tab "Class Notes & Handouts" for any additional copies of notes, power points, warm Ups/Closings, practice problems, or anything else you may need to check out from class!

Analytic Geometry week of 3/23/15

This week will be chock full of practice!  It's the best way to learn how to do math - to keep doing it!  We'll be wrapping up Unit 5 - Quadratics in preparation for the test, which is scheduled for next Tuesday, 3/31/15.  The schedule this week should go something like this:

Mon 3/23 - Factoring trinomials when a is and isn't = 1, and factoring difference of squares

Tues 3/24 - Factoring out a GCF, then deciding where to go from there

Wed 3/25 - Solving quadratic equations by factoring

Thurs 3/26 - Applications of quadratics

Fri 3/27 - More applications (everyone loves to ask "when does anyone actually use this stuff?" Thursday & Friday you'll see!)

Again, the test is scheduled for next Tuesday 3/31/15, so Monday we'll be reviewing (although the study guide may be available again this Friday, as so many students requested that last unit).  And as always, please refer to the tab above "Class Notes & Handouts" for any presentations, handouts, worksheets, outlines, etc. you may need an extra copy of or to refer to again from class.

Analytic Geometry week of 3/16/15

This week we'll be delving further into Unit 5 - Quadratic Functions.  The schedule this week should go something like this:

Mon 3/16 - Converting quadratics from vertex form to standard form

Tues 3/17 - Solving quadratics by square rooting both sides

Wed 3/18 - More square rooting

Thurs 3/19 - Solving quadratics by using the Quadratic Formula

Fri 3/20 - More Quadratic Formula & Application problems

The Unit 5 Test is currently scheduled for Tuesday 3/31/15!

As usual, please see the tab above for any class notes, power points, handouts, or assignments you may need additional access to outside of class!

Analytic Geometry week of 3/9/15

This week in geometry, we will be testing over Unit 4 - Extending the Number System, and then beginning to delve into Unit 5 - Quadratic Functions.  The schedule this week should go something like this:

Mon 3/9 - Finish up reviewing for Unit 4 Test

Tues 3/10 - Unit 4 Test

Wed 3/11 - Parts of a Parabola

Thurs 3/12 - Finding the real and/or complex zeros of a function by square rooting, factoring, and the quadratic formula

Fri 3/13 - More practice (because that's a lot!)

As always, please see the tab "Class Notes and Handouts" for any warm ups/closings, lessons, power points, graphic organizers, guided notes, practice problems, classwork, homework, etc. from class that you need to see or need another copy of.

Analytic Geometry week of 3/2/15

This week in geometry, we will be finishing up Unit 4's lessons, which will include completing imaginary and complex numbers concepts (by dividing), and then moving on to how to represent radicals by using rational exponents, and vice versa.  The test for Unit 4 is scheduled (after adjusting for all of the weather days) for Tuesday, March 10th, after a day of review on Monday, March 9th.  This week's schedule looks a little more specifically like this:

Mon 3/2 - Complex conjugates & dividing complex numbers

Tues 3/3 - Review of exponent rules learned in previous math classes; then applying those rules to rational exponents

Wed 3/4 - More rational exponents and how they represent radical expressions

Thurs 3/5 - Converting and operating on radical expressions and rational exponents

Fri 3/6 - Rational & Irrational numbers; putting it all together

As always, please see the tab above, Class Notes and Handouts, for any additional copies of presentations, guided notes, practice problems, homework, handouts, etc. you may need!
