Looking Ahead: Exam Week

While it may not be on our radar quite yet, here is our plan for exam week.



Unit 5: Radical and Complex Expressions

Welcome back from break!  This week, we will be diving into our fifth unit of the year on radical and complex expressions.  Our focus for the week will be on Integer Exponents, Scientific Notation, Rational Exponents, and simplifying radicals.  Students will be working on formatives 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 for this week.

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 7: Rational Functions We will be wrapping up our study of rational functions this week.  This will include a paper summative (worth 1/2 of a summative) and our BlackBoard multiple-choice summative.  Throughout the unit, we have focused on: How to Simplify Rational Expressions Addition and Subtraction of Rational Expressions Multiplication of Rational Expressions Division Long Division Synthetic Division Solving Rational Equations Graphing Rational Equations Vertical & Horizontal Asymptotes Solving and Graphing Rational Inequalities in One Variable At the end of the week, we will start Unit 8 on "Functions and Relations".  During our class on Wednesday/Thursday, we will talk about the composition of functions.

  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.
