Algebra 2 - 12/12/11

All done except your final exam folks. Be sure to get any and all missing/absent/late work in by the end of the day Monday, Dec 12. Anything unaccounted for after that time will receive a zero unless you have a written agreement with me.

The study guide for the final is available here. The final will be a subset of these problems with different numbers. The final does not cover Chapter 4 and you may use an 8.5"x11" handwritten crib sheet.

Have a great holiday. I hope you all have plenty of rest, good food, time with friends, family, and fun and come back in January with renewed energy.

In preparation for the exam, I would encourage you to look over your notes and try to summarize the big ideas. The better more you do in advance, the better you will perform on the final.

SL 1 - 12/5/11

Snow update: As a result of the missed class today, I have decided to merge together our Matrix Unit Test (previously scheduled for this Friday) and our Semester Final. Thus, we will have only one exam, on Tuesday the 13th from 10:20-11:50 am. Think of it as an extended unit test. Most of the problems will be matrix problems, with a few vector problems to round things out. You can use the SL formula sheet that is available here during the test. Note that it includes formulae for the determinant and inverse of a 2x2 matrix and for the determinant of a 3x3 matrix. If there are inverses of a 3x3, you will be allowed to use a calculator (the IB standard for SL). There are also a few vector equations on that sheet that are worth reviewing (eg. dot product and angle between vectors...)

In preparation for the exams, I would encourage you to do all the problems on the handout that I gave out as well as finishing up the H& H section 11.E assignment. See you Wednesday,
Mr. Alei

We're moving along very well folks and it looks like we may be able to use the "Quiz" that I had scheduled for Friday as our Statistics Unit test since we'll be finished with the unit. We'll see how things go on Monday. In any case, we just have two more ideas before finishing up - variance and standard deviation, a couple core statistical concepts. See you in class,

Welcome back. I hope you all had a restful and fun Thanksgiving break. We have two more weeks of instruction before finals and winter break and there are three more big ideas about quadratics. So stay focused this week and next as we close out the unit. Our unit test will be next week and then we will have a comprehensive final during the last week of the semester.

Welcome back from Interim Week. I hope you all had a relaxing and engaging time. I sure did! One new idea this week, induction, then we'll finish up matrices with our unit test on Friday. After that it's on to our Internal Assessments which I will assign formally on Friday.

Updated 10/19/11 3:14 pm
Hi folks,
Although we did run into more confusion about cosine than I was anticipating (not your fault!), I would like to stick with the schedule that I proposed in class on Wed 10/19 for 3 reasons. 1) I think that by the end of the class most of you understood enough about cosine to use it in the context of dot products; 2) because I did 5 problems in class, you should find yourself with a bit more time than usual to delve into areas of confusion and 3) we still have 2 more class periods to clarify questions you have.

Since we only got through problem 51.3 in class today, I've changed the HW below to reflect the correct Exeter problems due for the next 3 class meetings. As you know, they include practice IB problems from the handout that you can download here. Please email, call, or see me at school if you have any questions about the schedule or any of the math. Thanks and have a good week!

Congratulations all on fantastic performance on the Vector Unit test! As we began on Friday, we'll move on with matrices - including determinants, inverses, applications to linear systems, and making use of calculators. We'll start working more from H&H as well as doing some more Exeter work (Download the problem list here).

Also, with your IA's coming up, some folks asked if I could post the instructions now. Everyone will be doing Gold Medal Heights and, if you want to do a second Investigation, it's called Lacsap's Fractions. We'll talk more about these in class. See you then,

I've decided that it makes more sense to postpone the vector unit test until next Tuesday, instead of this Thursday. That will give us more time to practice the most complex ideas, as represented by the IB problems that I gave you for practice. We also need to discuss the final Exeter problems and the H&H problems that I gave for HW on Fri 10/14. With this Friday and next Monday off from school, that should give you ample time to review and prepare for the test. See you in class,

Algebra 2 - 9/26/11

So Unit 3 is underway as we work with systems of equations and inequalities. The fun really begins now as we move into more complex systems - 3 dimensions and matrices! But this week, we'll focus on Linear Programming, a super useful tool in solving real world problems. See you in class,
Mr. Alei

Well folks, we need to pick up the pace a bit, and move on to other topics. So I've revised our problem list to concentrate on the remaining ideas involving vectors. I'll also present some problems in class to give you a basis for solving certain other problems more easily. We'll talk more about it in class. But be sure to work from the new set of problems which can be downloaded here.

A little experiment this week. Since our HW assignments are quite dynamic, and likely to become more so, I'm not going to update the page this week. If anyone complains, I'll know that this is a useful service. If not, I'll spend my time doing other things rather than keeping this page up every week.
