Tuesday 10/31

alg II hp -  Besides our quiz, we did another regression model and also a warm up on increasing/ decreasing.  Took notes on dividing poly.s and hw is p. 177 #7-10.




alg II -   After reviewing the hw, we did a warm up on factoring poly.s and graphing poly.s using end behavior.  Hw is p. 171 #30. 39, 41,,45.



alg I -  We had a WODB about graphs.  We did #1-2 on p. 337 together and then we worked in pairs on p. 339 #6-8, 10.  Finish for hw.

Monday 10/30

alg II hp -  Quiz tomorrow on End behavior, subtracting polynomials, mult poly.s but no Pascal triangle.  Today we started with p. 172 #56 and also 57, 58.  After that there were 8 problems around the room on graphing, solving, factoring polynomials, as well as writing equations from solutions.




alg II -  We had a long class but I think it went very well.  We had a warm up on solving quadratics and graphing polynomials using end behavior.  We partnered up with whiteboards and added, subtracted and multiplied polynomials.  Hw is p. 170  #6, 9, 10, 19.



alg I -   warm up #14; p. 330  #1bc, 3, 4 both due on Friday


period 6: notes on graphing using intercepts and 5 problems for hw instead of above problems.

Friday 10/27

alg II hp -  Despite the short class, we did quite a bit.  Practiced our regression of cubic function using the graphing calc.  We also did #31 in section 4-1 and #46 in section 4-2.  Lastly, we took notes on Pascal's Triangle and did #45 and 46 in section 4-6.  Finish for hw.


alg II -  did a warm up on solving quadratics and Took our pretest on the unit.  No hw.



alg I -  warm up 14 and turned in work.  No hw.

thursday 10/26

alg II hp -  Great day of knowledge!  We worked on writing the polynomial from complex solutions and writing an equation from 3 points (graph calc makes it nice).  Had some whiteboard problems on operations with polynomials and factoring.  Hw is p. 170   # 9, 21, 22, 25.     



alg II -   Got deeper into end behavior with some whiteboard practice (with some factoring).  Hw is p. 162 #14, 17-19, 21, 25, 30.



alg I -  We did warm up 13, a pre test on the new unit, notes on slope and hw is p. 323-24 #2-5

Wednesday 10/25

Very short day but we tried to be as productive as possible.

alg II hp -    We did #9, 10 and did a WODB on end behavior.  We sharpened up our notes on end behavior and added graphing.  hw is p. 162 #27, 28, 33, 37.


alg II -    We had some video/ notes on end behavior and graphing a polynomial.  No hw


alg I -   WE did a math task on squares today and had mid-semester conferences.  No hw.  Task due on Friday though.

period 6 - line of best fit activity due on Friday.

Tuesday 10/24

alg II hp -  Travolta vs. Stallone!  First day of end behavior of polynomials.  We also did #50 on
 p. 195.  Hw is p. 162 #11, 13, 17, 19, 21.


alg II -  reviewed the perf task and test.  Did #50 on p. 195.  Factor practice.  Hw is the 5 factor problems that were on the board.


alg I -  unit test day.  Last day of the graphing unit.

Monday 10/ 23

alg II hp -  We reviewed our unit test from Friday and took our pre-test of the new unit.  Hw is to factor the 5 polynomials that I put on the board.


alg II -  We took our unit test today.  If you missed it, you will make it up tomorrow or when you return.  No hw.


alg I -   We prepared for tomorrow's test on graphing.  We had a line of best fit problem and we graphed many equations using the whiteboards.   Hw is to study using the review guide.
