Students who have already passed the HSA were given an assignment for the text.
Homework: Text p.351,#33-46.

Math Studies IB
Objective:4.2 Students will practice graphing linear functions with vertical and horizontal translations, and convert quadratic equations to the (h,k) format by completing the square. Following the warm-up, the teacher gave an overview of Topic 4, stressing that practicing the mechanics of quadratic functions was neccessary befor going back to using them in word problems. Classwork: H&H pp. 294 and 295, Ex. 9G.4,and 9G.5.
Homework: H&H text p.296-298, Ex 9G.6 and 9G.7. In 9G.7, students need only do the

A Day

Honors Geometry
Objective: Students will prove two triangles congruent using the SSS and ASA Postulates in order to solve real-world p;roblems.
Folllowing the warm up, students arranged their desks into small groups to complete the classwork assignment: Text pp 189-191, #2-18 evens and 22,25,27,30,33,34,36-40.
Any work not completed in class is to finished for homework.
There was an exit quiz on SSS and ASA problems and proofs.
Next class: quiz will be returned to students, we'll begin Ch. 4-3. Quiz on 4-1 through 4-3 is Tuesday Dec. 15
Chapter 4 Portfolio Project was distributed to students. The completed projct is due on , 2009. At least 4 assignments are due for review by Dec 18. The entire project is due on January 12, 2010.



Math Studies IB
Objective 4.3: Stiudents will identify quadratic functions; analyze vertical and horizontal translation on a graph of a quadratic function. Following the warm-up, the teacher guided students through the beginning sections of Chapter 9 in the H&H text. Classwork: H&H p.291-282 ExG2,and G3. Any problems not completed in class were to be completed for homework.
