WEEK OF FEB. 24-28

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
         This week we finish Chapter 7 with Section 7-9, Square Root Functions and Inequalities.  Then we will return to Chapter 9 and do Sections 9-3, 9-4, and 9-5.  A quiz is scheduled on these sections for next Tuesday March 4.

ALGEBRA 1 CP2
         The week will be spent on Section 9-5, the Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant.  Worksheets will be assigned each day with a quiz scheduled for Friday.

GEOMETRY HONORS
         We finish off Chapter 7 this week by covering the Law of Sines and Cosines.  A review will follow and a Chapter Test is scheduled for Friday.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
         We finish off Section 9-5 by discussing the Discriminant and the nature of solutions in a Quadratic Equation.  Then we go to Section 9-7, Special Functions.  In this section we will learn how to graph Step Functions, Piecewise Functions, and Absolute Value Functions.  A quiz will be scheduled for either Thursday or Friday.  From there we go into some of Chapter 10 and work with radicals, including simplifying and the Pythagorean Theorem.

WEEK OF FEB. 2-7

ALGEBRA 2 HONORS
         We begin the week reviewing for a quiz Tuesday on Sections 6-4,6-6, and 6-6.  These are on Completing the Square, parabolas in vertex form , and Graphing and Solving Quadratic Inequalities.  From there we will go to Chapter 7 on Polynomial Functions and their graphs.

ALGEBRA 1 CP2
         We are continuing Section 9-1 Monday by graphing some Quadratic Funtions.  You learned last week the formula x= -b/2a and we will continue to use this during the week.  Then we will go to Section 9-2, Solving Quadratic Functions by graphing.  Our weekly quiz will be Friday.

GEOMETRY HONORS
          We have been workong with right triangles and will continue to do so this week.  We learn about Special Right Triangles such as the 45-45-90 and the 30-60-90 and will fill out a Graphic Organizer in class Monday which you can use during the week.  A quiz is scheduled for Friday.  You will also be taking a DDM test Tuesday in class.

ALGEBRA 1 CP1
         We continue graphing Quadratic Functions this week by finishing Section 9-1 and going to 9-2.  Tuesday will find you taking a DDM test in class and then we will go to 9-3 on Transformations of Quadratic Functions in which you will compare and contrast two functions based on the same equation.  A quiz will be scheduled for early next week.
