Pre College Math

  Thought for the Week Friday's Early Release Schedule Looking Ahead: Final Exam Schedule Unit 10: Discrete Mathematics This week, we will focus on probability.  On Monday we will talk about probability.  The two other class days for the week will focus on "Combination" and "Permutations".  Students should be prepared to complete the Unit 10 summative assessment activities during the week of May 30th. *** Note *** We will be returning our textbooks during class on Tuesday.  Please be sure to bring them to class.

Thought for the Week   Countdown to Summer Spirit Days - Join in the Fun! Unit 10: Discrete Mathematics This week, we will continue with our study of discrete math.  We will spend Monday's class focused on arithmetic sequences  while Tuesday's class will focus on geometric sequences .  For our last lesson of the week, we will take a look at the Binomial Theorem and Pascal's Triangle.

  Thought for the Week Countdown to Summer Spirit Days Wrapping Up Unit 9: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions We will spend Monday and Tuesday's class periods completing our summative events that go along with unit 9.  During Monday's class, students will complete the paper EMPT check-in.  During class on Tuesday, students will complete the BB9 portion of the summative.  Once this is complete, students will move into our tenth and final unit of the year about Discrete Mathematics.  During our last class period of the week, we will take a look at sequences.

Thought for the Week Countdown to Summer! The countdown to summer officially begins on Monday! Here are the dress-up days for May 1- 5. Unit 9: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions This week, we will continue with our study of logarithms.  We will spend Monday's class talking about how to solve equations with logs.  During class on Tuesday, we will talk about how logs can be used to talk about exponential growth and decay.  We will spend the last class period of the week reviewing for our summative assessments.  Students will have the opportunity to earn a "flex day" on Friday if all formative work through the end of unit 9 has been completed.

Thought for the Week Unit 9: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions This week, students will dive into our ninth unit of the year.  We will have three topics to focus on for the week: Graphing exponential and logarithmic functions Evaluating logarithms and exponential functions Properties of logs Throughout the week, we will focus on the fact that logarithms represent a different way to express exponents.  Students will practice translating between the two forms and learn how to expand and simplify logarithmic expressions.  Students are considered "on pace" for the class if they have successfully completed all formative work through section 9.3. 

  Thought for the Week Wrapping Up Unit 8: Functions and Relations This week, we will wrap up our study of functions and relations.  We will spend Monday's class reviewing for our summative.  During class on Tuesday, students will complete the BlackBoard portion of our summative.  During class on Wednesday/Thursday, students will complete the paper portion of the summative.  Friday will be used as a catch-up day for students who need extra time to complete their work.
