This is the last day of block schedule!  Hope we still continued to learn.



alg II hp -    We passed back the tests and reviewed the hw from the last class.  There was a mountain problem that you will probably see again.




alg II -  A little more statistics.  We looked at the Raiders to see if weather influences them and we compared the means of movies based on selection process.  Tests were passed back; no hw.




alg I -     We finished up the multiplying polynomial problems and looked back on systems.  Finally, we made videos for graphing stories.  All were turned in.

alg I -   Vocab practice.   Notes on multiplying polynomials.  Hw is 5 multiplying polynomial problems. 

Wednesday 3/14

alg II hp - very short class due to the walkout.  Hw is p. 466 #3-6, 11, 14, 42.



alg II -   Notes on permutations and combination; We worked on p. 542 #3-5 and p. 576 #36-39.  Work was due at the end of the period.



alg I -    Pi video floowed by whiteboard practice on graphing, solving and vocab.  We finished class with 6 add/ sub polynomial problems.

Monday 1, 3. 5 / Tuesday 2, 4, 6

alg II hp -    Started with the ice cream permutation; Did 2 statistical activities - Movie Money & Raiders Probability.  Also, notes on right triangles and trigonometry.  No hw.


alg II -   We had our test on Series and Sequemces as well as a statistical activity to start our new unit.  No hw



alg I -   You had the walkabout, the open middle and the 2 Illustrative Tasks that you turned in.  Notes were on adding and subracting polynomials.  No hw.

Thursday / Friday 3/8-3/9

alg II hp -  W3 did a little test prep and then took our test.  Finally, we looked at a permutation problem.



alg II - 

 Started with #40 p. 440.  After reviewing the hw, we did a unit review on whiteboards and a group task (Open Middles).  Hw is p. 434 #10-12, 14, 17, 19.



alg I -    Today was the surprise.  Hope you liked it.

Wednesday 3/7

alg II hp -  We did review problems for the test on Thursday.  If you missed, work on the review guide so you are ready.



alg II -  We started class by finding the sum of a certain number of terms of an infinite  geometric sequence.  We filled in some gaps with some notes.  hw is p.439 #2, 7-9, 15, 17.

Monday / Tuesday 3/6-3/7

period 1 -  we examined a quadratic sequence and how to find missing terms in that sequence.  We also did work in 8-4 p. 439 #2, 7-917, 18, 26, 31.  we ended with notes on the recursive rule, which is not on the test but could be used if you want.  For hw, check the review guide from Sunday.




period 2 -  we started with #53 on p. 431 and reviewed the hw from Friday.  We also added another example to our 8-3 notes. and did p. 430 #23-26, 31, 41, 47. 
.



periods 4-6 -    Test make ups if you missed today. we had warm up 12 and a task.  Both turned in.  After the break, we worked together on the Holt Concept Connection p. 762.  Also, turned in today.

period 1 review guide sequences

Our test is this Thursday on ch 8.   There should be 9-10 problems.

1 - find the sum of a  arithmetic series
1 - finding the sum of a geometric series
2 - writing summation notation from a series
1- using the geometric series formula to find an unknown
2 applications of a series (arithmetic or geometric)
1 - finding the sum of an infinite series
1-2    finding the term in a sequence based on given information (could be a quadratic)

Parker REALLY wants that fractal problem in there, so I will see what I can do.

Here are some pretty good problems
p.  415 #33, 36-37, 46, 55
p. 422 #24-25, 47, 50, 53, 62ab
p. 430 #36-37, 50-51,
p. 439 #9-11, 17

Although there probably won't be any questions on how to write a recursive function, you COULD use recursive as the rule in summation notation.
