B Day
Students received a progress report of all work submitted through December 18. You can see your current average on Schoolmax for all work submitted through 12/18.
Accelerated Algebra 1
Progress reports were distributed to all students, and all student papers were returned. There are 3 weeks left in the 2nd quarter, so you still have time to bring your grade up!!!
Winter Break HSA Practice Packs are due to be turned in today.
Objective: Students will solve systems of equations using the elimination method.
Assignment pp 356-357 #1-22.
Students will receive their Quarter 2 Project on Wednesday. This is due on Thursday, Jan 22, 2010
IB Math Studies
Progress reports were distributed and all papers submitted through 12/18 were returned. The teacher discussed student's Internal Assessment Topics which were due today. Students are encouraged to review the schedule, and start data collection as soon as possible. The deadline is firm!
Objective: Students will practice solving problems using exponential functions.
Assignment: Oxford Text Ex. 4.4 evens

B Day
Honors Geometry
Objective: Students will demonstrate skillsin proving two triangles congruent by SSS, ASA, SAS Postulates, and the AAS Theorem. Folowing the warm-up, there was a brief question and answer period before the larger quiz. Students took a quiz on Chapter 4-1 through 4-3. Students atarted on Chapter 4-4 - Using CPCTC, after the quiz. Homework: Text p. 204-205, #1-14.
Math Studies IB
Objective: Students will analyze graphs of quadratic functions in order to solve real-world problems. Following the warm-up, a brief question and answer period was held for any homework questions.
There was a brief discussion of the validity of the IB grading criteria, in that multiple methods for dsolving problems are often not considered for points. Mrs. Dennard urged students to use the methods presented in class, and in their IB texts to achieve the most points on the exams. Indeed, when there is a relatively high point value for a simple question, make sure you are showing you all of the procedures used to get the solution. The high point value is the clue that method points are likely to be counted in here.
Students were guided through a review of quadratic graphing in the Oxford text pp.184-192.
Assignment: Exercise 4.3: #1-7c.
******Quiz on Friday******
Internal Assessment Project Title and paragraph is due Jan. 4, 2010!!
