We won't  have to make a phone call this week. We will learn a way to memorize the quadratic equation using the tune to 'Pop Goes the Weasel'. Here is what's happening this week!

Algebra 2 - We are going to solve quadratic equations by 'completing the square'. Students will learn how to derive the 'quadratic equation' and then use it to solve equations. We take the Chapter 5 Practice Test on Wednesday and the Chapter 5 Test on Thursday.

Geometry  - Students will start by finishing the Chapter 5 Test. The nine-week project 'Design a Zoo' is due Tuesday. We will start Chapter 6 by defining and classifying special types of quadrilaterals. We will use relationships among sides and among angles of parallelograms. We will be able to determine whether a quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
