WEEK OF SEPT. 26-30

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
We start the week off with a quiz on Sect. 2-1 to 2-4. Then we will cover Sect. 2-6, Special Functions. Concepts such as greatest integer function, absolute value functions, and piecewise functions will be introduced. These are true Algebra 2 ideas that you probably have not seen before. Wednesday is a half day and we will work on problem solving using the scoring rubric. From there we will work on graphing inequalities and finish off the chapter. Expect a Chapter Test early next week.

ALGEBRA 1A CP2
This week we will work on subtracting, multiplying, and dividing integers. Wednesday we will work on problem solving using the scoring rubric. You may use yuor practice sheet from last week as a guide. Thursday will find us reviewing Chapter 2 for a Test on Friday.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
Last week I introduced the idea of square roots and we will continue this work this week. The concepts of the Pythagorean Theorem and the Distance Formula will be covered as applications of radicals. We will have a quiz next week on radicals and then have a Chapter 2 Test. Also on Wednesday we will be doing problem solving that I covered last Friday.

GEOMETRY HONORS
On Monday we will practice doing problem solving using a scoring rubric. Most of you did this last year and should not have many problems. We will do one for real on Wednesday, the half day. Then we will begin Chapter 2 on Reasoning and Proof. This is the beginning your work with Logic, which tends to give some people trouble. We will learn what Inductive Reasoning is and how to write truth tables.


On Friday you will receive progress reports. All Yellow team teachers will give you a report. This just to let you know how you are doing so far this term and if there is any reason for concern.

WEEK OF SEPT. 19-23

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS

This week we will work on linear equations and functions. Equations in Standard Form will be introduced and the concepts of x and y intercepts will be explained. Then we will work on slope and how it affects pairs of lines, such as parallel and perpendicular. The end of the week will find us working on a practice word problem using the Math Department Scoring Rubric.

ALGEBRA 1A CP2

We continue our work with the Coordinate Plane and graphing ordered pairs. From there we will work on a unit of operations with Integers. The rest of the week will be spent on adding and subtracting integers with our weekly quiz on Friday. One class this week will be spent on problem solving using a scoring rubric. You should be familiar with this beacause of your work on this last year.

ALGEBRA 1A CP1

Our work this week will be with the operations with Rational Numbers. I am planning a quiz on Thursday and Friday will be spent doing problem solving using the scoring rubric. You should be familiar with this because of your work last year.

GEOMETRY HONORS

We finish up Chapter One this week and will test on Wednesday. We will then start on Chapter Two, which deals with Inductive reasoning and the concept of Proofs. By the end of the week we will work on problem solving using the scoring rubric.

WEEK OF SEPT. 12-16

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
This week we have our first quiz on Sections 1-4 to 1-6. Then we will begin Chapter 2 on relations and functions. You will learn what a relation is and how a function is formed from the relation. Also included will be function notation, f(x), how to solve them, and the idea of mapping.

ALGEBRA 1A CP2
This week we continue our work with the properties of Algebra, introducing the Commutative and Associative Properties. From there we will begin a unit on Integers and other number systems. We will learn how to graph integers on a number line and then work on the operations of integers, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. We will have our weekly quiz this week on Thursday because the Camp Clark trip.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
We begin the week by covering the Commutative and Associative Properties. Then we will will review the chapter for a Test on Wednesday. From there we start on Chapter 2, which deals with Real Numbers. Such terms as Natural, Rational, Whole, and Irrational will be discussed and we will learn how to graph these on a number lin

GEOMETRY HONORS
We have our first quiz Monday on Sections 1-1 to 1-3. Section 1-4 and 1-5 will introduce us to the concept of Angles, how they are formed and classified. Your next quiz will come after we finish 1-5.
