Week of 10/6

Stats:  Students will begin by completing page 144 for homework.  Then students will be working on a fast food project for finding the measures of central tendency, position and variation.

Calculus:  Test on Tuesday for derivatives!  Students will begin to study velocity and other rates of change.  Then they will be asked to complete page 129 for homework.

Pssa Math:  Students will complete their unit packet on percents throughout the week.

Week of September 29th....

We are nearing the end of the marking period.

Statistics:  Students will be working on measures of central tendency and will be asked to complete lesson 3-2 on page 110, #'s 1-8 and 12-15, 17-21.

Calculus:  Students will complete lesson 3-2 on differentiability.  Then they will be asked to complete page 111, #'s 1-18.  A quiz will follow on lessons 3-1 and 3-2.  Students will also begin working on rules of derivatives near the end of the week.

Pssa math 7:  Test Today!  On Tuesday, students will begin working on their 3-D shapes unit.

Week of September 15th

Statistics:  Students will move into creating graphs for frequency distributions that include: histograms, frequency polygons, ogives and stem and leaf plots.  Students will be expected to color their graphs to promote professional appearance.  Monday's homework will be on page 58, 2-5, 8, 15 and 16.  Tuesday's homework will be page 77, 2-4, 15-17.  Test on chapter 2 likely to be on Friday.

Calculus:  Students are learning how to find average rate of change of a function over a specified domain.  Students will also learn to compute the slope of a line at a given point by using the limit definition for slope.  Students will complete page 87, #'s 1-6, 9-12 and 27-30.  Test will be on Wednesday.

Pssa Math 7:  Students will continue to work with their angles and triangles unit.  Please encourage them to maintain studying and completion of their packets.

Week of September 8th

Statistics:  We will continue to work on frequency distributions this week with a test coming up next week on unit 2.  Students will be asked to complete page 43, 3-5 and 8-18 even for an assignment.  Then students will complete a worksheet that developes higher level thinking for distributions.
Finally students will be asked to construct the four main graphs for their distributions.

Calculus:  Students will be asked to complete page 80, numbers 1-16, 19-24 and 35, 36 for homework.  Students will also complete page 87, 2 -18 even and 23-30.

Pssa math 7:  Unit one Packets are due soon and we have our test this week!  Please study all your formulas and commit them to memory!  After the test, we will move into our next unit.

Week of september 2nd

Statistics:  Students will begin chapter 2 and work on developing frequency distributions by organizing data into a table.  Students will complete lesson 2-2 by doing problems 3-5 and 7-18 for homework.

Calculus:  We are continuing limits by exploring limits that approach infinity.  Students in calculus will also complete problems from lesson 2-2, evens.

Pssa math 7:  We are nearing the end of our first unit on area.  Please encourage students to prepare for their first unit test.  The test will be no sooner than Friday.

Week of 8/25/14

Welcome Back to School!

Pssa Math 7:  Students will receive a formula sheet to go along with their first packet on area and perimeter.  Please save the formula sheet throughout the year as it will remain useful for you.

Statistics:  Students will begin working on chapter one, The Nature of Statistics by taking notes and learning primarily about sampling techniques and types of statistics.  An activity will occur within class later in the week.

Calculus:  The class will begin the year by working with limits.  Students will be expected to complete lesson 2.1 on page 62, #'s 2-32 even.

Week of May 12th

All classes:  Finish reviews and STUDY for finals!
