Week of January 28th

Stats:  Homeowrk will come from page 302 this week.  Please memorize charts and procedures on pages 291-292.

Practical Algebra 2:  Homework will come from lessons 1-3 through 1-6.  They will be found on pages 21, 29, 36 and 42.  These lessons will cover solving equations and inequalities along with simple probability.

Calculus:  Please study lessons 4-4 through 4-6 for your test on Wednesday.  Then we will have an assignement from lesson 5-1 on Thursday involving estimating with finite sums.

Week of January 21st.

Stats:  Students will be completing lesson 5-4 on the binomial distribution found on page 263 before taking their chapter 5 test on Wednesday.  Then we will begin chapter 6 on the normal curve and students will be expected to find the area under a standard normal curce using z-scores.  Finally, students will be asked to complete an assignment beginning on page 303 relating to lessons 6-2 and 6-3.

Practical Algebra 2:  Students will be working on developing their writing skills to free response mathematical problems.  In these problems students, will be asked to analyze a situation, solve it and justify their work with an explanation for each step.

Calculus:  Students will be finishing up the lesson on related rates by completing an assignment on page 237 before taking their chapter 4 part B test.  They will also model a related rate during an in class project.  Then we will begin working on finding area under a curve through the rectangular approximation method.

Week of January 14th

Statistics: After midterms have completed, students will begin working on the binomial distribution and complete an assignment on page 263.  Studnts should then prepare for the chapter 5 test.

Calculus:  After completing midterms, students will begin working on related rates and complete page 237.  After the assignment, students will complete a project where they have to construct a tower and motorize car using Knects to determine related rates.  Also begin preparing for your chapter 4B test whih covers lessons 4-4 through 4-6.

Practical Geometry: There will be no homework after the midterm.  However, students will be doing preparatory work for Algebra 2.
