Week of January 2nd.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Stats:  This week we will begin chapter 5 on probability distributions.  Homework will be taken from page 244.  Also, please study for your midterm!

Calculus:  Students will continue modeling optimization problems.  Homework will be found on page 214.  Please study for midterms.

Practical Geometry:  Students will finish working with radicals by rationalizing denominators and using conjugates for more complex fractions.  Please study for final.

Week of December 17th

Stats:  On Monday, Students will be taking their chapter 4 test.  Then students will be given all notes form chapter 5.  Be sure to start studying for the midterm if you haven't done so already!

Practical Geometry:  Students will continue with square roots and apply the to solving equations involving the pythagorean theorem.

Calculus:  Students will continue to work on lesson 4.3 involving the first and second derivative test.  Students must also know how to find the local extremes and inflection points.  Students will be given a quiz on lessons 4.1 through 4.3.  Then students will finish the week with an optimization problem.

Week of December 10th

Stats:  Students will finish homework from lesson 4.5 this week before taking their chapter 4 test.  The homework can be found on page 220.  Then student wll move into chapter 5, frequency distributions.

Calculus:  Students will finish lesson 4.2 and 4.3 before taking a test on the first three lessons of chapter 4 on Friday.  The homework will be found on pages 203-205.

Practical Geometry:  Students will test on chapter 10 (similar figures) by Wednesday.  Then they will learn how to calculate, simplyify and rationalize square roots.

Week of 12/3

Calculus:  This week, we will begin chapter 4, applications of derivatives.  Students will have assignments on page 184, #'s 2-30 even and page 192, #'s 2-18 even, 35-37.

Statistics:  Students will begin the week by completing problems on page 210 by using the multiplication rule of probability.  Then they will begin to work with the counting rules of probability and complete page 220 for homework.

Practical Geometry:  Students will finish preparing for the Keystone Assessments.

Week of 11/27

Calculus:  Students will begin the week working on derivatives of exponential functions.  They will complete page 170 for homework.  Then on Friday, students will have their cjapter 3 test.

Stats:  Students will complete page 193, Addition rule for probability, for homework.  Then they will begin the Multiplication rule and complete page 209 for homework.

Practical Geometry:  Sudents will be working on standards assessed for the keystone exam to serve as review for the test all week.

Week of November 19th

Statistics:  Students should have completed page 185, #'s 6-15 and 16-30 even for homework.  Then they will be taking notes on Adding Rules of Probability in class.

Calculus:  Students are currently working on implicit differentiation and derivatives of inverse trig functions.  After Thanksgiving break, students will resume with derivatives of exponential and logrythmic functions.  That will be followed by their chapter 3 test on derivatives.

Practical Geometry:  Students are currently preparing for their Keystone exam on Algebra 1.  All students are encouraged to be using study island.

Week of Monday 11/12

Calculus: Page 146, #'s 2-24 even (chain rule) and memorize both the rules for differentiating trig functions and their inverses.

Statistics: Chapter 10 test Tuesday. Then page 185, #'s 10-36 for homework.

Practical Geometry: We are finishing up area, perimeter and circumference of geometric shapes with our test on Tuesday afternoon. Then we will move into similar figures.
