Countdown to Christmas...

Only THREE more class periods to get things done before we can go on our Christmas Break.

Algebra 2 students are working hard on quadratics. Everyday they get better at factoring, graphing, and solving. I even managed to throw the whole complex number and "i" thing at them. WOW, super work!

Enriched Geometry students are learning GEOGEBRA and how we can use it to learn geometry concepts...we found the circumcenter of three towns on a map by constructing the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle formed by the towns. Guess what? The bisectors were concurrent at a point that is equidistant from the three towns! COOL.
Remeber to have your circle reflections in by Friday!

Algebra students just finished Ch 4 and tested...it was a tough one but many students did well. Now it is on to Ch 5 and writing linear equations with a focus on using math models to solve problems. Remember, its all about thinking mathematically!

That's all for now...

Gotta Start Somewhere! (or Sometime)

This is a first!  My first try at blogging...I hope it catches on and allows me to stay in contact with students outside of the classroom.  Check back in the near future.
