The first week of school was challenging for all. It seems every student has many we sites to become familiar with. I have decided to continue to post on my blog until I blog for you to go to another site.
Most of you have a text book and digital resources. If you do not I will give you login information next week.
There have been many issues concerning the digital books and the lap-tops. I cannot assist you. Not only am I not trained to assist you, I do not have administrative privileges. Use the web site support and support available on campass. Pearson has requested that you completely shut down your computer when you go to bed so that all changes will be made before school.
Everyone will have a test this week. If you have been putting off homework it is time to catch up.
Advanced Algebra.
There is so much confusion. You are required to complete the textbook assignments posted on the link to Assignments. I will be grading them on your test day for completeness and accuracy. You must have an assignment for your homework check for each lesson labeled with the assignment. I have been working them with you in class. I have posted all the assignments I will check on this weeks assignment linked to this blog. Beginning Monday, 8/27, you will need to preview the lesson by using the digital book as needed. Read the lesson.You may read it and access the videos and interactive problems as you read the lesson prior to class. I will reteach the important concepts and provide help as needed. I did forget to collect the POW so please have them ready to turn in on Monday.
Calculus
We will be completing the Precal review this week. Please ask specific questions in class this week. I would like you to download the note-cards and print them this week. Save them in a 3-prong folder or binder and place a blank page for notes. These note cards(labeled numerically) will help you prepare for the AP test. You can find this on the MYMathLab site on the document sharing tab.
Precalculus
I am pleased with your progress and your willingness to work so many word problems.
Congrats to the Lee students who have embraced the graphing calculators.
You will be expected to write and equation of a line and discuss slope as the average rate of change.
I am happy that many of you were able to change into my other classes so the 6th period is now much less than 44. Anyone who can should consider moving to a morning class as they are still less than 20.
