Wednesday 1121

This was an early dismissal day



pre calc-   Period 2 looked at an alg II exponential problem and then went into bonus time;   period 4 had to review the test and take the pre test before bonus time.


Enjoy the holiday!

Monday and Tuesday 11/19 and 11/20

Flex time -     pre calc did perf tasks that could count as quizzes;   algebra I could work on their projects



pre calc-   conics challenge;  pre test for our next unit;   The next unit is our last for the semester and it is exponential functions and logarithms.   We were also on Desmos.com working on graph transformations.

algebra I -     we worked on our linear logo project;   due Wednesday

thursday 11/16

pre calc -   reviewed for our test tomorrow; check out the review guide.   see you then.




alg I -   We reviewed the quiz and yesterday's hw;  notes on point-slope vs. slope-intercept.  Hw is p. 361 #14, 17, 18, 19, 23.  Work due on fridays.

Wednesday 11/14/18

pre calc-   After test questions, we did a circle equation and tried to avoid the "quicksand."  We finished with a hyperbola question.  Hw is to study for test on Friday.




alg I -    We finished our task from Tuesday and took a short quiz.  Hw is p. 361 #8-10, 13.  Due Friday.

Monday 11/13/18

pre calc -  Started by deriving the general equation for a circle and then finished with a concept connection on water skiing and conics.   Test this Friday.






alg I -    We had 6 problems around the room on using a data set to equations.   In the last part of class, we started a concept connection which we will finish tomorrow.  Quiz on graphing linear functions tomorrow as well.

pre calc conics review guide

We will have our next unit test on Friday 11/16 on conic sections.
There should be about 8 conics problem and 1 problem from the last unit as well.

Identifying the center, vertex, co-vertex and asymptotes from a graph or equation - probably 3-4 MC questions

graph a conic - 2
complete the square - 1
real world application -1
use a conic equation to find a point of the graph - 1
write a conic equation based on written information about its key features -2
writing the equations for the asymptotes -1
writing a polynomials function from points on its graph - 1

You can try these problems from the book to cover most of these topics
p. 643 #8, 11, 17, 25, 27, 73
p. 653 #9, 11, 17, 23, 39, 68
p. 665 #9, 13, 16, 17, 41, 57-59
p. 98 #66

Not too much to look at given that you have a week!

Friday 11/9

pre calc -   HW review; did the matching in 9.3 #7-10; did a 6 part question on an ellipse; study guide if you have time for the test next Friday




alg I - Review the 3 problems ; warm up 13; 8 quick graphs done in a group; Quiz next Wednesday.

Thursday 11/8

I am out today at a conference but Mr Russell will be there for algebra I.  Have fun and do your best.



pre calc-  there are 7 problems that the sub will give you.  do these and turn them in.  See you Friday.




alg I -  Mr Russell wants to finish the presentations from Tuesday and there will be 2-3 word problems to do as well.

Wednesday 11/7

pre calc - Tough day today due to my absence tomorrow but we reviewed the ellipse problems from yesterday and took notes on the hyperbolas today.  Tomorrow you will do the problems -  check the  answer sheet if you get stuck.




alg I -   We reviewed the y=x line and used transformations to do quick graphs.  We ended class with notes on how to write equations.  Hw is to write equations for each of the 6 data sets on the board.  Due Friday.

Monday 11/5

pre calc -  today we started ellipses.   Notes and 6 problems on board.  Sub will have answers to those tomorrow as well as 7 more problems.




ALG I  -  A bit more quick graph practice as well as notes on linear functions/ slope and p. 331 #7abc, 8ab, and 10 for hw.  Due Friday.

Friday 11/2

Thursday 11/1

Post halloween exhaustion!    But a good effort all things considered.



pre calc -  started conics unit and circles.  Notes and practice on page 643 #1, 5, 7, 9, 10
