It is so annoying when a hippo is on your hypotenuse while you are trying to do trigonometry.
So annoying...... Here is what is happening this week in math!

Algebra 2 - We start the week by simplifying expressions with rational exponents. We will solve radical equations while watching for extraneous solutions. We will add, subtract, multiply and subtract functions. We will also be able to find the inverse of a relation and function.

Geometry - Trigonometry this week! We will use sine, cosine and tangent ratios to determine side lengths of triangles. We will use angles of elevation and depression to solve problems. We will also describe vectors and solve vector problems.

Great tip! It always helps in math when you do the homework..... Here is what is happening in math this week at Oasis.

Algebra 2 - We will finish our Chapter 6 Test that we started on Thursday. We will also simplify the nth roots of radical expressions. We will be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide radical expressions. We will also simplify expressions with rational exponents.

Geometry - We will use the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse. We will learn about the properties of the Special Triangles (45,45,90 and 30,60,90 degree triangles). We will find how to use the sine, cosine and tangent ratios to determine the side lengths of triangles.

We thought math was hard enough without imaginary numbers....
Here is what we are doing in math this week!

Algebra 2 - We are going to use Pascal's Triangle to expand binomials. We will  review  the Chapter 6 Practice Test on Wednesday to get us ready for the Chapter 6 Test on Thursday.

Geometry - We will learn about the Side-Splitter and Triangle Bisector Theorems. We will  review  the Chapter 7 Practice Test on Wednesday to get us ready for the Chapter 7 Test on Thursday.

'A Night in Paris' our 2nd Annual Gala is this month. I need to start practicing my dance moves. Good thing I found this. I think I'll be awesome......

Welcome back! Here is what we are doing in math this week.

Algebra 2 - We are finishing Chapter 6. We will start the New Year by solving equations using the rational root theorem. We will learn how to use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to solve equations with complex roots. Permutations and Combinations will be explored along with n-factorial. We will learn the importance of Pascal's Triangle when using the Binomial Theorem.

Geometry - We start Chapter 7 this week by writing ratios and solving proportions. We will be able to identify similar polygons. We will use SSS, AA, or SAS similarity statements. We will be able to find and use relationships in similar right triangles.
