Poor Sally working on her story problems........ :)
Here is what we have planned to do in mathematics this week at Oasis Academy!

Algebra 2 students will be adding vectors using trigonometry to help them understand data they will be collecting in their science class. They will use this data with their 1st nine-week project. We will solve and graph inequalities and compound inequalities. We will learn how to solve and graph absolute value equations and inequalities. We will also find experimental and theoretical probabilities. The Chapter 1 Test will be next week.

Geometry students learn how to construct congruent angles and segments. They will also bisect angles and segments with a compass and straight edge. We will learn how to find the distance between two points using the distance formula and how to find the midpoint of two points using the midpoint formula. We will then find the perimeter, circumference and areas of rectangles squares and circles. Students will be given their first practice test of the nine weeks on Friday. The Chapter 1 Test  will be next week. The practice tests are important because the exact problem types are on the test.

We are not math atheists at Oasis Academy so we will explore these ideas this week....  :)

Algebra II students are going to have fun with Trigonometry to help them with their group project. We will define the Sine, Cosine and Tangent Ratios. We will also find the resultant of two vectors. Students will learn how to solve and graph inequalities  and compound inequalities. We will also solve absolute value equations. Students will have a quiz every Thursday unless we are taking a test that day.

Geometry students will explore the Cartesian Coordinate System,  find lengths of segments and midpoints. They will use a protractor to measure angles and identify special angle pairs. Constructions will be used to copy line segments, angles and to bisect angles and line segments. students will find the distance between two points in the coordinate plane using the distance formula. They will start their 1st nine-week project on Origami this week.   Students will have a quiz every Thursday unless we are taking a test that day.

Algebra II classes can expect to discuss the following during the week of August 15th....
We will start by reviewing class rules, expectations and syllabus. We will graph and order real numbers. We will identify and use properties of real numbers. Students will be able to evaluate and simplify algebraic expressions. We will be able to solve equations and solve problems by writing equations. Students will be able to solve and graph inequalities, We will then solve and write compound inequalities.

Geometry classes can expect to discuss the following during the week of August 15th....
We will start by reviewing class rules, expectations and syllabus.  We will graph and order real numbers. We will identify and use properties of real numbers. Students will use inductive reasoning to use conjectures. We will learn the basic terms and basic postulates of geometry. Students will identify segments and rays and be able to recognize parallel lines.

Welcome back to school everyone!
