On the helpful math websites page is a link to the State of Georgia Standards, where you can find the Frameworks for each unit we are studying for Accelerated III and Mathematics IV.
The alternate portfolio assignments for Accelerated III can be found there.

Sum Rule Video
A student yesterday gave the Khan Academy on-line videos a ringing endorsement yesterday. I have been looking for a good proof for the sum and difference formulas for sine and cosine and have not been able to put my finger on one. This morning I watched this video on YouTube and it was great. Though not a formal proof, I think if you can stick with it it will make a lot of sense.
We may also look at a great example of logic and the importance to have the ability to communicate in the language of our field, whichever field that may be.
sin(a+b) = (cos a)(sin b) - YouTube

Trig Identities
Math IV students can look on the Mobi page and see a lot of worked out identity and equations that we did in Accelerated III the last couple of weeks. These would be helpful in anticipation of the next quiz and test.

Accelerated III Test # 3
We have spent two weeks working with trig identities and equations in Accelerated III (this is the next topic for Math IV). The last two days in class we have worked on three worksheets, practicing identities and equations. The worked-out solutions to these worksheets are available on the Mobi page. Feel free to check those out.
Remember: just because someone verified the identitiy a different way than you, that doesn't mean you did it wrong. There are 10 ways to get from NOHS to Sanford Stadium: just because you take one way that is longer or shorter than I do doesn't mean either one of us is wrong, as long as we get there.
If you are on Twitter, feel free to send me a Tweet if you have any questions between now and the test tomorrow (Friday, February 17). Also, sign up for the Class Parrot thing (see below) and you might be able to text me your questions. I will try to keep an eye on my phone and the computer all night, and hopefully I can help you as you study for the test.

Acc 3 Test 1 Review
I just put together a summary of the work we did for the first test in Accelerated III, which is very similar to what we did in Math 4. The pages and sections go along with the Accelerated 3 book (http://college.cengage.com/mathematics/larson/precalculus_limits_aga/3e/instructors/index.html). This would be helpful in reviewing for the midterm or final.
I will try to make similar review pages in the near future.
