May 5

Please visit the Khan Academy class site for the assignments for this week.

I will be available for Online Learning today from 12:00-1:00 today. This week is not mandatory. I will be going over how to do the material in the exercises.

You are required to email me once this week before Friday to let me know your status on the assignment and to let me know if you have any questions about the lesson.

The students, who have been active, are doing some great work! 37 of the students have leveled up in their understanding of learning objectives studied since April 20th.

We have been working through Google Classroom, iLearn (for video learning), and Khan Academy for additional resources and assignments.

We have been working on Quadratic Functions. Our expected learning outcomes included the understanding of factoring, multiplying and understanding quadratic equations. Students looked at videos and notes and attended video learning sessions to work towards understanding of the material.

Learning Outcomes for the month of May:

  • Common Core Standards for the month of May…

CCSS.Math.Content.HSA-REI.B.4b NGA Center CCSSO Mathematics K-12 2010 (Common Core State Standards, USA)Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for 𝘹² = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as 𝘢 ± 𝘣𝘪 for real numbers 𝘢 and 𝘣.

CCSS.Math.Content.HSA-SSE.A.2 NGA Center CCSSO Mathematics K-12 2010 (Common Core State Standards, USA)Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. Example: For example, see 𝘹⁴ – 𝘺⁴ as (𝘹²)² – (𝘺²)², thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (𝘹² – 𝘺²)(𝘹² + 𝘺²).

CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-IF.C.8a NGA Center CCSSO Mathematics K-12 2010 (Common Core State Standards, USA)Use the process of factoring and completing the square in a quadratic function to show zeros, extreme values, and symmetry of the graph, and interpret these in terms of a context.
