WEEK OF NOV. 25-29

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
         In this holiday-shortened week the plan is to cover Section 9-1, Multiplication and Division of Rational Expressions with an introduction to Complex Fractions.  Worksheets will be assigned on both Monday and Tuesday.

ALGEBRA 1 CP2
         This week we will be working on Section 8-3, multiplying a binomial by a binomial, and a binomial by a trinomial.  Because of the holiday this week there will be no quiz.

GEOMETRY HONORS
          We will continue Section 5-1 this week and then go to 5-2 on inequalities and triangles.  You will learn the Exterior Angle Inequality Theorem and how to apply it to various problems.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
         We have been working in Section 8-5, Factoring out a Monomial Factor with the Distributive Property.  We will continue in this section this holiday-shortened week.

WEEK OF NOV. 18-22

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
         This week we finish up Section 5-4 on Factoring so that we can have a quiz Tuesday.  Then we jump up to Section 6-3, solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring.  From there we will go to Chapter 9 for 3 sections dealing with Rational Exponents.  Hopefully we can squeeze in another quiz next week before Thanksgiving break.

ALGEBRA 1 CP2
         The week will be spent in Section 8-2, multipling a Polynomial by a Monomial.  Our quiz this week will be on Thursday because of the Anti-Bullying presentation Friday, which will occur during Period C.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
         We start the week off by multiplying binomials by binomials and by trinomials.  Then we will work on some special products before we begin the concept of Factoring.  There will be a quiz next Monday or Tuesday.

GEOMETRY HONORS
           We finish up Section 4-6 on Isosceles Triangles and then review for a Chapter 4 Test Thursday.  Then we begin Chapter 5 on relationships in triangles.  We will cover such concepts as medians, altitudes, and perpendicular bisectors and how they are used.

WEEK OF NOV.11-15

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
         We continue our work in the Factoring Packet this week and will finish it by Thursday.  If everything goes as planned we will have a quiz Friday.  If not it will be next Monday.

ALGEBRA 1 CP2
         We begin Chapter 8 this week on Polynomials.  We will concentrate on Adding and Subtracting Polynomials this week and might be able to go to Multiplication.  Our weekly quiz is still Friday.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
         We continue our work in Chapter 8 starting with Section 8-2, Multiplying a Polynomial by a Monomial.  Since you have already worked with Monomials this should be fairly easy.  I have a quiz scheduled for Friday on Sections 8-1 & 8-2.

GEOMETRY HONORS
          Work continues in Section 4-5 on Congruent Triangles.  We have been doing proofs on SSS, SAS, ASA, and AAS and will do so all week.  You will also be introduced to Right Triangle Proofs and Isosceles Triangles.  Your next quiz will be early next week.

WEEK OF NOV. 4-8

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
         The week begins with Section 5-3, Division of Polynomials.  Here you will learn how to divide polynomials using the long division method and also synthetic division.  A quiz is planned for Thursday and then we will go to Section 5-4 on Factoring.  It is probably the longest section in the text to complete because of all of the different types of Factoring so I have made up a packet that we will work on instead of the book problems.  There will be a quiz on just this section when we complete it, sometime next week.

ALGEBRA 1 CP2
         The week starts off with you finishing Section 7-2 on Division of Monomials including negative exponents.  Then we will work with Scientific Notation, of which you should be somewhat familiar with.  Our weekly quiz is still Friday.

GEOMETRY HONORS
         We begin the week with a review of Sections 4-1 & 4-2 for a quiz Tuesday.  Then we will cover Sections 4-3 to 4-5 on Congruent Triangles.  You will learn at least four ways to prove that triangles are congruent and will have a couple of days of Proof work to follow.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
         We begin the week by finishing up Section 7-3 on Rational Exponents and then go to 7-4, Scientific Notation.  I have planned a quiz for Thursday on Sections 7-3 & 7-4 before we start Chapter 8 on Polynomials.
