Thought for the Week



 

Wrapping Up Topic 7: Direct, Inverse, and Joint Variation

This week, we will wrap up our seventh topic of the year.  We will spend Monday's class learning about joint variation.  In general, we will look at a relationship that involves three quantities.  For example, the area of a rectangle is dependent on its length and its width.  


During the last part of the week, we will prepare for our topic 7 summative assessment.  We will complete this assessment during our last day of class for the week.

Thought for the Week   Modified Schedule for the Week.  As a reminder, Freshmen and Sophomores will complete the ACT Secure and Juniors will complete the ACT on Tuesday, April 9th.  This will lead to a modified schedule for the rest of the week.  Monday will be a "Tuesday"-style schedule.  On Tuesday, we will complete standardized testing.  The rest of the week will proceed as scheduled. Topic 16: Trigonometric Functions On Monday of this week, we will take a brief break from our topic 16 study to focus on some tips and tricks for completing the math portion of the ACT.  Students will be encouraged to practice working with the Desmos calculator, which has been built-in to the online version of the ACT.  We will also review some important concepts and talk about how to narrow down our answer choices. For the rest of the week, we will take a look at "Exploring Tangents" and start reviewing for our summative assessment.

   Thought for the Week Topic 16: Trigonometric Functions As we return from spring break, we will spend a little bit of time reviewing concepts related to right triangles.  We will practice solving for missing sides and missing angle measurements using right triangle patterns.  We will then move on to a more in-depth look at the sine and cosine functions.  At the end of the week, we will spend some time talking about how we can modify the sine and cosine functions with transformations.
