Hard to believe, but we are in our last full month of school! This week we will be focused on the first 3 learning targets for Unit 6 on Quadratics.
Our Learning Targets from Unit 6: LT1: Sketch the graph of an equation or function and identify the family function. LT2: Describe the characteristics of quadratic functions (i.e. symmetry, zeros, shape, min/max and vertex) for both graph and equation. LT3: Multiply polynomials by using the distributive property. LT4: Solve quadratic equations using factoring (a = 1, when a is greater than 1) and identify zeros. LT5: Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. MONDAY-TUESDAY **We will do a multiple choice exit ticket that looks at your knowledge of LT1 and LT2 LT: Describe the characteristics of quadratics functions by looking at symmetry, zeroes, shape, min/max, and vertex from the graph and equation SC: You are successful if you can: - Minimums have graphs that point up and equations that have a positive a value, and Maximums have graphs that point down and equations with a negative a value -The axis of symmetry cuts the graph of the quadratic in half, and has the equation of x=-b/2a - The vertex is the ordered pair located at the max or min of the graph and the has the x value x=-b/2a (find the y value by substitute and solve) - The zeros of the graph are the x-intercepts of the graph and can be found by factoring and solving (LT4) WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY LT: Multiply polynomials by using the distributive property SC: You are successful if you can: -Distribute using FOIL First, Outer, Inner, Last -Our use the Box Organizer

Reminder that we have our test on Unit 5 on Tuesday (April 25th)!
MONDAY - TUESDAY LT1: Evaluate exponents and radicals including understanding how to expand and condense expressions. LT2: Compare graphs, tables, and equations of linear and exponential functions. LT3: Use properties of exponents to simplify and evaluate expressions. LT4: Write powers using radicals, find the root of a number, and simplify radical expressions. SC: Students are successful if they can: - Determine if an equation is grwoth or decay when b>1 growth, and 0>b>1 is decay - Remember to add or subtract exponents together when you have the same base that is being multiplied or divided - Distribute and multiply exponents when you have a power or a power - Divide exponents by the index number when you have an exponent under the radical WEDNESDAY - FRIDAY We will be starting Unit 6 by taking a preassessment and than working on LT1 notes and practice on Thursday and Friday. LT 1: Sketch the graph of an equation or function and identify the family function. LT 2: Describe the characteristics of quadratic functions (i.e. symmetry, zeros, shape, minimum/maximum and vertex). (Graph and equation) LT3: Multiply polynomials by using the distributive property. LT4: Solve quadratic equations using factoring (a = 1, when a is greater than 1) and identify zeros. LT5: Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. SC: Students are successful if they can: - identify the function family of a graph as either linear (a line), quadratic (U shaped), exponential (J shaped), linear absolute value (V shaped) - when given the function or equation, you can either graph and look at shape, or look for idenifiers like x^2 for quadratic |x| for absolute value, and b^x for exponential. This week we will be finishing up Unit 5 and beginning our review so that everyone is ready to take our Unit 5 Post Assessment next Tuesday (April 25th).
MONDAY: LT: Use properties of exponents to simplify and evaluate expressions. SC: Students are successful if they can - evaluate all exponents to the power of 0 as 1 - subtract the exponents in fractions that have the same base - distribute and subtract the exponents of fractions raised to a power TUESDAY -WEDNESDAY Tuesday we will take Notes and Wednesday we will practice LT4. LT: Write powers using radicals, find the root of a number, and simplify radical expressions. SC: Students are successful if they can - simplifying a square root by dividing the exponents under the radical by the index number - write square roots in exponential form by turning the exponent into a fraction where the index number is in the denominator THURSDAY - FRIDAY We will begin our review of Unit 5 by completing a Math Lib of LT3-4 and working on a study guide and exit ticket. LT1: Evaluate exponents and radicals including understanding how to expand and condense expressions. LT2: Compare graphs, tables, and equations of linear and exponential functions. LT3: Use properties of exponents to simplify and evaluate expressions. LT4: Write powers using radicals, find the root of a number, and simplify radical expressions. SC: Students are successful if they can: -Evaluate exponents and square roots -Determine if an exponential function is growth or decay be looking at the graph, table, or function - increasing means growth and decreasing means decay. - add exponents together when the exponents have the same base -multiply exponents together when the exponents are raised to a power -distribute a power to bases that are multiplied together Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope everyone enjoyed their time away and got to enjoy some nice weather (at least at the end of the week). This week is another short week for us because we have a half day on Thursday and no school on Friday, but we will make the most of it.
MONDAY LT: Review some Strategies to help students improve their PSAT scores. SC: Students are successful when they understand - substituting in answer to see if it makes the equation true when you don't know another way to solve - eliminating answers you know don't work and making an educated guess on the remaining solutions - Using your calculator when available to help solve faster - managing your time to get to all questions TUESDAY Students will be taking the PSAT in hours 1-3. Hours 4 and 5 will have a chance to complete make up work. WEDNESDAY LT: Use properties of exponents to simplify and evaluate expressions SC: Students are successful if they can - when a fraction or division problems shares the same base - subtract the exponents from each other - when you see parentheses - distribute first and then subtract the exponents that share the same base - remember that any number to the power of zero is ALWAYS 1! THURSDAY Half day for students - we will be reviewing and finalizing grades FRIDAY No School - Good Friday |
