Been awhile....

It's been a long time since I updated or posted anything on the blog, but somebody reminded me about it today, so I figured I'd make an appearance since people were looking.

Here is a link to the word problems we worked on in class:

We did problems # 5 and # 7.  Good luck to the Accelerated students who are taking the Matrix test tomorrow.

(By the way, tomorrow is Luke's 8th birthday.  He will turn 8 exactly at around 3:00 AM in the morning.  Seems like the kind of information you might like to have after lunch tomorrow...)

2-way Frequency Tables

COORDINATE ALGEBRA TEST # 1 IS TOMORROW!!!

Here are some places to find additional help with 2-way tables.

Textbooks (ever seen one in math?)

Yesterday in Accelerated Precalculus, we will pass out books for the students to use.

The state of Georgia has made some of their Georgia Virtual School on-line textbooks available.  This is a great resource with videos and examples.

This is what we did today:

Coordinate Algebra

3rd quiz of the semester, this time over Line of Best Fit.

We began a discussion on 2 way frequency tables.

Accelerated Precalculus

We worked on verifying trig identities.

Our homework was Pages 389-390, 11 - 17 & 41 - 51, all odd

Our 5th quiz will be on Thursday over simplifying trigonometric expressions.

Yesterday, I was out.  Coordinate Algebra worked on a quiz review and Accelerated Precalculus did some trig review problems from the book.

What happened today?

Coordinate Algebra
Mrs. Scaffe helped the class with a review for the quiz.  Tomorrow's quiz is over Lines of Best Fit.

Here's what Thursday looked like:

Coordinate Algebra:

We practiced Line of Best Fit some more.  We talked about whether correlation implies causation and the correlation coefficient.

Accelerated Precalculus:

We took our second test.  This test was over graphing transformations of trigonometric functions, solving inverse trig function problems, and word problems using right triangle trig.
