- Bell Work: SAT problem: Equivalent Rational Expressions BW Thu 11-30
- We started section 2.7: Solving equations with one variable. Equations had fractions and the basic idea was to create a common denominator including polynomials. Students worked in pairs on each of the 4 sample problems then volunteers went up to show their work and class discussion took place. Section 2.7_day 1_Thu 11-30
- Homework p232 1-12 and p235 #50
- Bellwork SAT review no calculator. We were able to find 4 different ways of solving the same question. BW Wed 11-29
- Students worked in pairs and graphed rational functions by hand (without a calculator) after finding the x intercept, y intercept, vertical asymptotes and horizontal asymptotes.
- we worked on problems 37 through 44 p226. We only got up to 39 and the rest is homework.
- We discussed as a class and generalized about rational functions graphs
- Bellwork: Our bellwork was tied to the section we are working on (2.6) and students had to do it in Notes sections today. BW Tue 11-28
- Day 2 of section 2.6. Students worked in pairs then students were picked randomly to go up on the board and show their work for 3 more sample problems. Section 2.6_day2_Practice problem_Tue 11-28
- Homework for tomorrow p226 31-36 show ur work by finding V.A, H.A, xint, y int then match the graphs to correct equationSketch the graph next to each equation
- Today student took a big quiz that covers section 2.1-2.4
- The quiz was not calculator and covered the I can statements posted November 21 before thanksgiving break
- If you missed the quiz, it is your responsibility to reschedule with me a day and time to come make it up
- The quiz was postponed until Monday 11/27 so you can have more time to review
- Make sure to check the I can statements that should guide you on what to review
- The following homework is due Monday 11/27 and it was picked as a practice to section 2.1-2.4 so you can review for your quiz
- Homework should be done on loose leaf with your name, hour , date and the following title: Quiz Review Practice Problems: section 2.1-2.4
- page 246: 1,2,5,8,9,12,16,25,29,30,31,32
- page 247: 63,65
- page 225: 1-6 Quick review
- Homework due Tuesday 11/28 practice section 2.6 (not included in Monday’s Quiz) p 225# 23-30
- Bellwork graphing polynomial functions on the calculator then zooming in to view all x intercepts BW Wed 11-15
- Students worked on completing page 194#43 through 52 to practice finding x intercepts of polynomial functions (zeros) using the calculator
- Then we talked about Remainder theorem (review from algebra 2) and I modeled number 13 for you and here are the notes Section 2.4_day 2_Wed 11-15_Remainder Theorem
- Homework p205#13 through 18. Find the remainder using 2 different methods: synthetic division and remainder theorem.
- SAT bell work: factoring a cubic polynomial without a given factor. I grouped students in 2 big groups depending on the way they solved it, then we had one representative of each group writing the solution. Click here to view both methods.BW Tue 11-14
- We used the bellwork question to introduce The Rational Zero Theorem (section 2.4). Click here for the notes.Section 2.4 notes_day 1_Tue 11-14
- Also the notes include hints fir the homework
- Homework p205 quick review 5 through 10
- page 205 #26-27
- page 205#7 through 12
- bellwork: factoring polynomials of higher degree using synthetic division, common factor, x method, special case BW Mon 11-13
- Students went up on the board and graphed polynomials from factored form or standard form after factoring them Graphing polynomials_multiplicity_factoring_key
- finish corrections if you left early for the assembly
