We are working hard to master more complex problems with distributive property including using exponents and fractions. There are lots of details to keep track of! Today we used buzzers to answer questions quickly using distributive property to make the arithmetic simpler! Homework for Tuesday night is to read section 2-2, pp 72-75, #3-16. Review [...]
The Exponential Extravaganza will be excellent fun, I’m sure! Be thinking about a geometric pattern that you want to try out. The entire project will be due next Tuesday, February 7. In class we looked at how a pattern of squares can grow and shrink at the same time and how we can model it [...]
Now we can also look at things that decay exponentially and see how their graphs curve down but never touch the x-axis. Homework for Monday night is to read section 7-3, pp 411-15, #1-7,9-14 Homework for the whole week: Tuesday: Read section 7-4 pp 419-23, #1-3,6-9. Review quiz Wed on material through chapter 6. Start [...]

There are lots of picky little algebra details to keep track of from our notes today! Homework for Monday night is to read section 2-1, pp 66-69, #3-15. Get Progress Report signed, too. Homework for the rest [...]
We are talking about fractals and how they come from exponential equations. We’ll be making our own soon! Here’s another picture of the Mandlebrot set. Homework for the weekend is to read section 7-2, pp 404-07, #3-9,12
Finish your awesome picture on the spreadsheet and have it for class on Monday. Students saw their test scores and will get the test itself and the progress report on Monday.
Test today so no homework! Have your computer charged and ready in class on Friday!
How many pull-ups can you do? How much money can you earn if your money grows exponentially? What is compound interest? So many great questions answered today as we began Chapter 7.
