• Bellwork SAT no calculator: solve a quadratic function using the quadratic formula and simplifying a radical when it is not a perfect square. We did the problem in 2 different methods: by factoring the GCF and solving without factoring the GCF. Bellwork Wednesday 10-31
• Homework feedback: students went up on the board and showed their work for the following problems: p192#1-6 (quick review), p193#29-32, 9-12
• We also wrote some guided notes on how to write end behavior using limit notation
• 2.3 End Behavior Limit Notation
• Homework p193#25-28 describe the end behavior using limits without graphing, refer to today’s notes/tables

• Bellwork SAT no calculator. Finding vertex when given a factored form of a parabola. We did it in 2 methods: long algebra and trick method Bellwork Tuesday 10-30
• Students worked individually on completing Desmos activity to review END BEHAVIOR OF POLYNOMIALS. Then students shared orally their conclusions and wrote a summary.
• student.desmos.com
• Codes 2.3 End Behavior Desmos activity codes
• Homework p193#39-42. List the zeros and their multiplicity. Then graph using a calculator and sketch the graph in your notebook.Hint: #39: zeros: x=0, x=3 with multiplicity of 2
• p193#9-12 match using end behavior, explain how you matched

• Bellwork: SAT calculator question, solving nonlinear system of equations. We did it in two ways: algebraically (without a calculator) and by finding the intersections using the calculator (menu 6, 4)  Bellwork Monday 10-29
• We started section 2.3 and our objective was to find the zeros of polynomials by factoring and here are 5 sample problems that should go in notes section
• Then students worked individually or in pairs on practice problems (homework section) p 193#33-38 2.3 day 1_Mon 10-29_Finding zeros of polynomials
• Homework p192#1-6 (factor and find the zeros)
• p193#29-32 Explain how you matched the graphs to the given equations

• The following Khan academy skills were assigned. You are supposed to show work for all of them. Make sure to write your name, hour, date and title of each task.
• Subtracting fractions
• Multiplying Fractions
• Khan academy factoring perfect squares
• Khan academy graphing parabola from standard form         show work required, show how you got the vertex (h,k) by using -b/2a then plugging h in to the standard form to find k. ALso specify the y intercept.

• Special cases review: guided notes
• SAT questions group work
• special cases guided notes p1
• special cases guided notes p2
• Special cases p1 key
•  Special cases p2 key

• Copy the following sample problem in your notes section Section 2.1_sample problem 39
• Follow the sample to complete p169#40-44
• For 43 and 44, they did not give you a graph, but they gave you a vertex and a point on the parabola which is the same as 40-41-42

• SAT question from yesterday’s PSAT test Bellwork Thu 10-25
• Students went up on the board and showed their work for homework problems p 169 (homework key below)
• I checked the Frayer model in notes and homework p169#13-18, 23-32
• 

• Bellwork: Students worked on 3 SAT problems given the calculator steps SAT CLASSROOM SESSION #3
• Section 2.1: Today’s objective was to convert between standard form and vertex form 2.1 day 2_Wed 10-24_convert to vertex form
• Homework p169#13-18, p 169#23-32 find the vertex, write in vertex form then graph each parabola

We started chapter 2:

• Bellwork: Students had to read p158-159
• Then students worked as a group to complete a FRAYER MODEL about polynomials: definition, examples, non examples and facts.
• I am posting the FRAYER model that we created as a class from groups ideas
• Make sure you copy it in your notes section. Start a new page and title it chapter 2 section 2.1.
• Homework p169#1-6, 7-12. A hint will be added to this post, read it so you can know how to do your homework.
• 2.1 Homework Hint p169#7-12
• Frayer Model_Definition of Polynomials

Due to excessive absence today during chapter 1 test (over 30 absences), the following are the rules for test make up and absences during future tests:

1. There will be a ONE day make up which is tomorrow Tuesday 10/23. Make up will be during C lunch, 6th hour, or after school you could choose.
2. There are absolutely ZERO excuses tolerated. If you work, talk to your boss. If you have any other excuse, find a way to be in my class C lunch, 6th hour or after school.
3. In the future, if I notice a pattern in the absences (absent every quiz or every test), I will contact your counselor and your parents and you will receive a zero.
