Welcome back! I hope everyone had a good break. I think we have had more breaks than school days in the month of February, but our days off are coming to an end. MONDAY Learning Target: Find the equation of a parabola from its points Today students will have a chance to review their Guided Notes and Practice from before break. Look back at the notes from Feb 11th if you need any help with this. Assignment: Pg. 212 #7 - 15 all WEDNESDAY Learning Target: Solve SAT problems involving quadratic equations or functions. Today students will have a chance to prepare for the SAT test by looking at some of the typical questions asked that involve quadratics. Below is the worksheet if you missed this assignment. THURSDAY
Learning Target: Understand how to double distribute - multiplying binomials Today we will be reviewing how to distribute when you have 2 sets of parentheses. (x + a)(x + b). We will use the FOIL and BOX method to help us organize our work, and when we are done, we'll write our answer as a quadratic in standard form (ax^2 + bx + c) Attached is the notes if you missed this along with a video from Khan if you need help.

This is a reminder that we are just entering the 2nd semester and this is a good opportunity for students to start fresh and find ways to improve their grades in Algebra 2. Based on survey results from last week, students are looking for us to slow down and take more time to practice the concepts we learn. I will work hard to find ways to focus on the main things we need to learn, and I encourage students to make an effort to complete and turn in all work. MONDAY Learning Target: Identify and graph quadratic functions. Today we will finish where we left off in section 4.1 on page 194-200. We will focus on looking at how to translate quadratic functions in vertex form. WEDNESDAY Learning Target: model data with quadratic functions Today we will be look at how to use the TI-NSpire to find the quadratic regression of real world data. If you missed class and you want to watch the tutorial, see the video below. ASSIGNMENT: Pg. 213 #25 THURSDAY Learning Target: Determine the quadratic function from its points. Today we are focusing on writing the equation of a quadratic from 3 points. Review the example on Pg. 209 to help illustrate this, and you can watch the video below on how to use your TI-Nspire to solve a linear system that is set up along the way. If you want to do this assignment at home, but don't have a TI-NSpire, you can try this free online Algebra calculator. Just select "substitution" for the solving method. ASSIGNMENT: Pg. 212 #7-15 all
We are officially in the 2nd Semester, and the Polar Vortex is upon us. I have posted your Final Exam grades along with your Quarter 2 and Semester Grades. You can check Student Connect to find out where you stand. I will have all of your grades posted on the Data Wall in the Classroom as well. MONDAY Learning Target: Identify and graph quadratic functions Today we will be starting a new semester and a new chapter in the book. Students can expect to take the Preassessment for Chapter 4 on Quadratic Functions, and then we will be taking guided notes. We will be taking guided notes from section 4.1 in the book. In addition, I'm asking all students to complete a short Student Survey on how the 1st semester went, and what we can do differently going forward. Below is a link to the survey. WEDNESDAY Learning Target: Identify and graph quadratic functions Today we will be working on practicing how to graph and identify properties of quadratic functions from their graphs. Assignment: Pg. 199 #15-37 odd THURSDAY Learning Target: Model data with quadratic functions Today we will have a chance to review any questions from Wednesday's homework on Graphing Quadratic functions, and we will have a chance to review the vocabulary of quadratic functions such as: Parabola , Vertex , Axis of Symmetry , x-intercepts (roots, zeroes, solutions), and max/min. Assignment: Pg. 212 #7-15, 17, and 26
Below is a link to help you get more help on graphing Quadratic functions This week if your Semester 1 Final Exam. Our final is on Thursday (Jan 24th). Be to class on time and ready to go! MONDAY No School - MLK Day WEDNESDAY Learning Target: Review what you know about linear equations and graphs in preparation for your final exam. Today we are doing our review for the final exam. Below is the link for the Study guide that was given out last week. Bring to class ready to get checked in for full credit (20 point assignment). THURSDAY
Learning Target: Show what you know about linear equations and their graphs. Today is your final exam. In preparation, please STUDY! Below you will find the answers to the study guide. You cannot use the study guide on your final, but you should review to make sure you know how to do all of these problems. Welcome back to school! I hope you had a great break and are ready to get back to work learning about linear systems of equations as we are quickly nearing the semester 1 finals. MONDAY Learning Target: Solve Linear Systems of Equations using Substitution and Graphing Today I was on Jury Duty and students will have a chance to work with a partner to solve 4 linear systems equations word problems. Attached is a copy if you missed it. WEDNESDAY Learning Target: Solve Linear Systems of Equations using Algebra Today we will continue to practice solving linear systems of equations using algebraic methods. Attached is the worksheet if you missed this. THURSDAY
Learning Target: Solve linear Systems of Inequalities Today we will be looking at section 3.3 from the Algebra Textbook (Pg. 149 - 153) Remember that the graph of a linear inequality contains a boundary line (either solid or dashed) and is shaded on the side that makes the inequality TRUE. The solution of a system of inequalities is the section of the graph where the shading overlaps. Assignment: Pg. 153 #11-19 odd, 20 and 21, 23-30 odd, 32 Below is a link to a Khan Video if you are looking for an example on how to solve system of linear inequalities It's almost Christmas Break and we are plugging along on Chapter 3. MONDAY Learning Target: Solving Linear Systems using Substitution Today we will be taking notes and doing guided practice on solving linear systems using substition. If you missed today, please get the notes sheet below and what the Khan video to get caught up. WEDNESDAY Learning Target: Review solving one variable equations Today you will be left with a worksheet that focuses on helping you review solving one variable equations using distribution and combining like terms to help prepare you to practice solving linear systems using substitution. THURSDAY Learning Target: Solving systems of Equations Today you will be left two worksheets that focus on solving systems of equations. Focus on solving using either graphing or substitution, and then match and color the figures to help complete the activity. Completing both worksheets will earn you 10 BONUS points. Enjoy your Break!

Please note that we are wrapping up Chapter 2 and will be ready for a End of Chapter Quiz next week. MONDAY Learning Target: Graph two-variable inequalities Today we will be getting back into the swing of linear equations by going over the homework on Linear Absolute Value equations from Section 2.7 and then moving onto Guided Notes on Two-Variable Linear Inequalities from Section 2.8. Below is the notes sheet if you need it WEDNESDAY Learning Target: Graph two-variable inequalities Today we will reinforce our notes from Monday by practicing graph linear inequalities. Assignment: Pg. 118 8 - 29 All. If you need more information on how to graph two-variable inequalities, try watching this Khan Academy Video: THURSDAY
Linear Target: Write linear equations that model real-world data. Today we will be looking at how to take a word problem of a linear situation and turn it into a linear equation that we can use to solve. Remember our slope-intercept equations y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept For the purposes of writing a linear equation (or function) we can replace the word slope with the phase rate of change, and the word y-intercept with initial value. Happy Thanksgiving Week!
This week we are only meeting on Monday because of the holiday week. MONDAY Learning Target: Solve equations, inequalities, and linear absolute value equations. Today we are finishing up our homework from Section 2.7 on Linear Absolute Value Graphs and their Translations, and then spending time playing Equation Bingo.
