• SAT bellwork Thu 09-13
• Students wrote guided notes about equations of circles equation of circle notes
• Then a student came up on the board and showed their work for completing the square problem#13 p46.  Completing the square p46#13
• After that, we had a pair work. Students were given an SAT challenging question and they worked with their partner on the white board to solve it. Partners who got the right answer and knew how to explain their work got extra 3 summative points.SAT challenging question_equation of a circle_completing the square

• The Quiz will be Friday 09-14
• You will have 25 minutes only
• it is a NO CALCULATOR quiz
• Review all notes that were discussed in class and all assigned homework problems
• Here are the I can statements:

1. Factor and Solve Quadratic equations
2. I can convert between inequality and interval notation
3. I can apply exponent rules and simplify expressions
4. I can write an equation of a circle given the center and radius (Tomorrow’s Objective)
5. I can find the radius and center of a circle using its equation (Tomorrow’s Objective)
6. I can find the slope of a line from a given pair of points
7. I can write in point slope form equations of a line parallel to a given line or perpendicular to a given line and passing through a given point.
8. I can find how many real solutions does a quadratic equation have using the discriminant (Tomorrow’s Objective)

• p36#3-6: After you find the slope, write the equation in point slope form then in slope intercept form. Box each form and label it. You can use abbreviation PSL and SIF
• p36#11-14: Find in point slope form then in slope intercept form. ALso label each form
• p37#41-44: Those problems have 2 parts each, part a and part b.
• Part a: find the equation of a line going through the given point and parallel to the given line.
• Part b: Find the equation of a line going through a given point and perpendicular to a given line.

• SAT bell work No calculator Wed 09-12
• Students presented their group work on writing equations of lines, and here are some pictures as well as some notes.
• Precalculus Notes P2 and P4_completed
• 

We need to review the following skill from ALgebra2 so we can answer some SAT questions.

Please carefully read the following sample problem and write it in your notebook notes section. Title it: completing the square review, then answer problem #13 page 46.

• SAT bellwork Bellwork Tue 09-11
• Students worked in groups on a jigsaw activity. Each group was assigned one color (one objective)
• Yellow group (or green): write the equation of a line in point slope form given 1 point and the slope or given 2 points. example 1, example 2 p28,29. Application: p36#3-6, 11-34.
• Pink group: Find an equation of a parallel line. example 5 page 32. Application p 37#41-44 part a. Find an equation for the line passing through the given point and parallel to the given line.
• Orange Group. Find an equation of a perpendicular line. Example 6 page 32. Application p37#41-44 part b. Find an equation for the line passing through the given point and perpendicular to the given line.
• Students will be presenting tomorrow.
• All students will be responsible for all practice problems due Thursday for all 3 objectives. p37#3-6, 41-44 parts a and b.

• Students finished their SAT pre test No calculator section for 25 minutes
• If you were absent today, you have to schedule with me make up time
• For the rest of the hour, students went up on the board and showed their work for homework problems page 10#47-52, exponent rules were discussed.
• Homework p10#47-52
• Chapter P quiz on Friday
• Homework: review chapter P section 1

• I updated your grade book and added the homework from last week and the Khan academy, please take the time to check your gradebook weekly.
• If you have a zero on the homework, you can do PAGE 1  of the following alternative worksheet.Interval_Notation_Practice
• Also if you did not do khan academy, finish it during the weekend, it takes 5 min.Click here to start.
• The above accommodations were made just because I understand that everybody is trying to adjust and get used to the routines of the class, but they will not be made every time I assign homework or a task from khan academy. DUE DATES SHOULD BE RESPECTED starting next week.

• Students took the SAT pre test, calculator and no calculator portion
• We will be doing SAT prep in bellwork everyday
• Post test will be given sometime early semester 2 (Date TBD)
• Homework page 26#35-44. Solve each inequality then draw a number line to represent the solution set

• 2nd hour and 3rd hour assemblies for juniors and seniors
•  bellwork Thu 09-06
• Students worked independently to complete exponent rules practice then correct them using colored pen. Exponent rule practice
• Students had the opportunity to ask questions about the incorrect ones they got; feedback was given.
• Homework: complete the practice problems if you did not finish them in class
