Our Chapter 11 test is Friday. We practiced with factoring and using polynomials to find area and volume.
Homework for Wednesday night is to complete the self test in the book pp 706-07 (omit #21). Test Friday (sections 1 through 6) Chapter 11.
We were quality control for the M&M company as we checked how many M&M’s are in a fun pack and wrote absolute value inequalities to state our findings.
Homework for Wednesday night is to continue in section 4-9, pp 238-39, #13-21. Our Chapter 4 test will be on Tuesday, May 22.
Difficult material with absolute value inequalities. We are looking at the graphs of the inequalities to get a feel for where the solutions are, and we are learning the algebra rules for solving so that we don’t always have to draw the graph.
There is no written homework Tuesday night because of Fine Arts Night. There is a Wednesday review quiz as usual. The test over Chapter 4 is next Tuesday, May 22. The review test of the semester is next Friday, May 25. If you didn’t get the progress report signed for today, please do that for Wednesday.
I love these shortcuts for foiling binomials! They are useful for so many problems.
There is no written homework Tuesday because of Fine Arts Night. Review quiz Wednesday. Test Friday over Chapter 11.
We are finishing up Chapter 4 with absolute value equations and inequalities in section 4-9. Today we tackled how to solve absolute value equations. It is so important to do that first step of splitting them into two equations!!
Homework for Monday is to read section 4-9, pp 234-38, #1-12. Get Progress Report Signed.
Homework for the week:
Tuesday: Nothing written because of Fine Arts Night. Review quiz Wednesday.
Wednesday: More of section 4-9, pp 238-39, #13-21 Test Chapter 4 Tuesday, May 22
Thursday: Self Test Chapter 4, pp 243-44 (omit #13,17) Test Chapter 4 Tuesday, May 22
Friday: Chapter Review Chapter 4, pp 245-49, #1-33 odd. Test Tuesday.
We are ready for a quiz over polynomials including simplifying with addition, subtraction and multiplication. We have also factored polynomials and used factoring to solve quadratic equations instead of the quadratic formula. There is some vocabulary to know, too.
Homework for Monday is to study for the quiz over sections 1,2,3,4,5 of Chapter 11. Quiz Tuesday. Test Chapter 11 is on Friday.
Homework for the week:
Tuesday: Nothing written because of Fine Arts Night. Review quiz Wednesday
Wednesday: Self Test Chapter 11, pp 706-07, omit #21 Test Friday Chapter 11 sections 1 through 6
Thursday: Study for test Chapter 11 sections 1 through 6
Friday: None!
We are reviewing all the wonderful things we have learned in chapter 11 in preparation for a quiz on Tuesday over sections 1,2,3,4,5. We’ll need vocabulary about polynomials as well as techniques to factor and multiply polynomials.
Homework for the weekend is to finish the review sheets in preparation for the quiz on Tuesday over sections 1,2,3,4,5 of Chapter 11.
We are graphing intersections and unions of sets of numbers with inequalities. Remember that “or” means do the union of the sets and “and” means do the intersection of the sets.
Homework for the weekend is to read section 4-8, p. 232, #1-16
We looked at some sets and reminded ourselves of how we can find unions and intersections of sets. Unions contain anything in either set and intersections contain only the elements that are in both sets at the same time (overlap). We can draw Venn diagrams of our intersections and unions of sets.
There is no written homework because of Fine Arts Night.
Two wonderful new things!!!
We can use our factoring techniques to solve some quadratic equations and not have to use the quadratic formula! Since we know that, if two factors multiply to make zero at least one of them must equal zero, we can factor and set each factor equal to zero.
We can also multiply polynomials now!! So now we can see how we square polynomials – by multiplying them out, not by just squaring each term.
