Hey folks,
Winter packet is the handout with two problems on it:

Multiplying like rats
bouncing ball problem

Both must be completed upon your return. Make sure you finish them! They will be worth A LOT OF POINTS!!!!

I've attached a copy of the handout on this post. Download it below if you need it.

Here are a couple websites that you will need to help you with graphing your equations.

Tuesday 12/1 and Friday 12/4

noreply@blogger.com (Rodrigo Coppelli) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 16:20:00 +0000

On tuesday for a warm up we did problems 2-30, 1-76, 2-7

We finished the test we took before Thanksgiving break. If you didn't finish then you'll have to finish it after school.

Classwork:

We looked at problem 2-21.

Using the average “rebound ratio”, we derive the height of the ball for a drop height of 150, 100, 75, 50, and 25 cm. Put that in your table.

Then we graph Rebound height vs. Drop height. Drop height is the independent value.

Students finish 2-21, 22, and 23.

Thursday:

Prelude was a green sheet practicing systems of equations and quadratic formula. We did problems 2-30 - 2-34

We went over exponential growth and exponential decay.

Correct your quiz from yesterday. Write down what you did wrong. Then do problem 1-36.
Ok, so we finished off the classwork problems from yesterday. Problems 1-27, 1-28, and 1-29. This was important since y'all don't necessarily have graphing calculators at home.

9/15 - We put the "fun" in functions!

noreply@blogger.com (Rodrigo Coppelli) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:52:00 +0000

Started off with a Concept Skill Mastery Quiz.
