monday through Thursday

Hopefully you have already looked at the review guide and practiced the problems.  If not, at least you are reading this and probably still have an opportunity to do so.


Enjoy your break.  Make sure you rest and have a lot of fun!

friday 12/16

alg II -   We have started working towards the final.  Today we tackled polynomial and radical functions (mostly solving but we did look at the box problem again.  We were working out of the book but you could just as easily find examples of both functions in your book.


alg I -   Today we looked at solving and graphing equations as well as talking about yesterday's unit test.  Check the review guide which I posted on a previous blog and do some problems listed in that guide.

review guide for alg I final

There are 2 parts to the test.  One is Mult. choice and there are 9 questions on that piece.
The other is free response (typical for our tests) and there are 7 questions.  I would guess that it should take just over an hour to complete it.

The mult choice has:
1 writing an equation from 2 points
2 solving linear equations
3 on slope of a line
3 on solving a SOE

The free response has:
1 triangle sum theorem
3 SOE applications
1 scatterplot
1 writing the equation of a line of best fit
1 "which one doesn't belong" that requires justification


Here are some pages in the book that may help you.

thursday 12/15

alg II-  we had our assessment for the radical function unit.  It was a quiz and if you missed see me ASAP.  If you time tonight, look at the review guide and try at least 3 problems.


alg I -    today we had our assessment for the SOE unit.  If you missed it, see me ASAP.  I will try to put up the review guide for the final by tonight and you can try some problems for hw tonight.

wednesday 12/14

alg II -   wrapping up the radical unit; we explored some of the applications of a radical model in section 5.4 (kangaroo vs snowboard) and reviewed last night's hw.

alg I -` we reviewed for the test tomorrow!  See review guide if you missed .

tuesday 12/13

alg II -  period 1 did #13 on p. 266 and then did #30,32,47,48,54.  finish for hw.

period 2 reviewed the hw and did #13, 30, 32, 47,54 on p. 266



alg I -   We started with a 3 problem diagnostic and then did #9 on p. 391

monday 12/12

Both classes today were able to use half the class to play on the computers on google games; check out Present Bounce on google santa tracker if you want to see some fun games

alg II-   period 1 reviewed solving radical equations and using transformations to sketch radical functions.
period 2 got notes on 5.4 solving radicals and you were assigned 2 problems for hw   #6 and 16 in that section.


alg I -   there was a little review on SOE and Mr Russell ran through some whiteboard problems.  Study for that test on Thursday!

alg I SOE review guide

For our test on SOE, we will have about 9-10 questions.  Some will be solving a system and others will be word problems where you can use a system or make a table and find solutions.

2-3  solving a system of equations

2-3  word  problems where you have a choice on how to solve

1 on a system where the slopes are the same

1-2 on writing equations from a graph or table (this could be of a horizontal or vertical line)

1 on looking at a table and finding the solution

1 verifying that a point is a solution to a system


Here are some problems in the book to look at:

p. 372  #7

p. 378-80 # 1, 4,5, 9, 11, 13

p. 384 #1abc

p. 390-1 #1abc-2, 7,8, 10abc


The table stuff listed above is not in the book but we did examples in class; we will try to do some more in class this week.

Please ask questions in class if you have any on this guide!

review guide for alg II final

I have the final!

It is 11 problems , mostly from the last month but there are some from quadratics.

here is the breakdown

1 quadratic application
2 writing an equation from description (parent function and transformations)
1  volume of a box that you made by cutting out corners (of course)
1 domain and range problem
1 solving quadratic problem
1 solving polynomial problem
2 solving radical problem
1 polynomial application problem
1 writing a polynomial function from solutions and y-int.

(There are also 2 extra credit problems!)

be prepared to arrive at imaginary solutions on some of these and unreasonable choices for the radicals.

friday 12/9

alg II -   period 1 chose to go on to 5.4 so we took notes on solving equations and then did p. 266 #1,3,6,8,17-19

period 2 chose to do another day on 5.3   and worked on p. 256 #9-14

There will be either a quiz or a test next Thursday and the final review guide will be up later this weekend.


alg I -   We started out looking at some problems together and then finished in partners doing "Jackson vs. Benjamins"  SOE task.

thursday

Myself and Mr Russell were at a conference all day so the sub delivered the work to you:


alg II -   you were to do #19-26 and 41-43 in section 5.5 in text.





alg I -   p 390  #1-4  this work was supposed to be turned in to the sub    see me if you haven't done that yet.

Hope that all was well and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

tuesday 12/6

alg II -  Today was a review of the work from Monday as well as the rules of exponents.  WE also took notes for 5.2 and no hw.  We will pick it up again tomorrow.



alg I -   There is now a quiz on Wednesday.  If you missed today, too bad.  We had the computers and did a Kahoot and the Desmos game Race Dot.  No hw but make sure you finish the work from Monday.

monday 12/5

alg II -   We didn't look at the unit tests which we will do tomorrow.  However, we did a pre test on the next unit (radical functions) and took notes on 5.1.  hw pg. 241 #4,5,12,16,19,34


alg I -  more work on SOEs; in fact we have a quiz on Wednesday on them.  hw tonight is p. 378 #4,5 and in class we went over 1-3 on the same page.

friday 12/2

alg II -  TEST day!!!    Very good effort, I hope all are happy with their scores.  No hw




alg I -  we turned in the work for the week as well as worked on more SOE applications.  No hw.

thursday 12/1

alg II -   we did a very good review today to prepare for tomorrow's test.  Loteria and whiteboard work on solving equations and writing equations from solutions as well as the volume problem.


alg I -   Most of the classes did the Boomerang activity, though since period 4 did it yesterday, they did the 4 problems on the board today.
