Algebra 2 - 11/28/11

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.
Mr. Alei

Pre DP - 11/28/11

Welcome back folks. I hope you had a restful and fun Thanksgiving break. As we move forward I'd like to move our problem solving practice to the Exeter Math 1 book which you can download here. We will also continue working on algebra review, and may begin doing some practice from our Algebra 2 book. It's also available on the web here. See you in class,
Mr. Alei

SL 1 - 11/28/11

Welcome back. I hope you all had a restful and fun Thanksgiving break and are feeling good about your IA results. With that behind us, we'll move on to matrices. We'll use mostly the H&H book which is available online here.

A note: this unit will go by fast - just two weeks on it. I will present the bulk of the information on Monday and Wednesday this week. The remaining time will be practicing, clarifying concepts, and review. Our matrix unit test will be on Friday, Dec 9. See you in class.

Algebra 2 - 11/7/11

Welcome back from Interim Week folks. I hope you all had as good a time as I did hiking in Zion National Park! We'll be really working hard on quadratics from now through Thanksgiving so buckle down! Homework practice is essential for mastering the concepts and skills that we'll be covering so hang in there. This week, we will look at graphing different forms of quadratic functions and move on to factoring quadratics - a crucial skill for future success. See you in class!

Welcome back from Interim Week. I hope you all had a wonderful and engaging time. I will be returning your Vector Unit tests early in the week and work with those of you who need more time on those ideas. In the meantime, we'll be working on your Internal Assessments from now through Thanksgiving. I am working to arrange for more computer time and will publish an updated schedule as soon as I can get it worked out. Meanwhile, we have only two Fridays of computer time allocated - the rest will need to be done in class. Your paper is due at the end of class on Monday, November 21st. See you in class,
