B Day

Accelerated Algebra 1
Objective: Students will demonstrate skills in all topics related to the Algebra 1 HSA. Classwork: Students completed Sessions 1 and 2 of the Practice Algebra HSA.
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
1.b,e,h & k problems and #2 and #3.
