Reminds me of conferences coming up next Friday. It will be nice to see all of you! Hope you are enjoying Spring Break. Here is what we have planned for when you return.

Algebra 2 - Students will be start the week by simplifying rational expressions. We will learn how to add, subtract multiply and divide them. We will simplify complex fractions and learn they are not too 'complex'. We will learn how to solve rational equations.

Geometry - We will start by finding areas and perimeters of similar figures by using similarity ratios. We learn how to find areas of regular polygons and triangles using trigonometry. The Sine and Cosine Laws will be introduced. We then learn about the measure of central angles and arcs. We will be able to find areas of circles, sectors and segments of circles.

He is going to have to go out and find that gene or a new doctor...

3rd quarter grades are due on Thursday morning. Any missing work needs to be turned in right away.

Algebra 2 -  Algebra 2 students are starting a new chapter this week on rational functions. They will learn about inverse and joint variation. We will graph inverse variations and their translations. Students will identify properties of rational functions and graph them. We will simplify, multiply and divide rational expressions.

Geometry - Geometry students are starting a new chapter this week on area. They will learn how to find areas of parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids and kites. We will find areas of regular polygons by using their apothem and radius. Students will find perimeters and areas of similar figures.

We all need a  little courage now and then.
Here is what is happening this week in math at Oasis.

Algebra 2 - Monday we are doing the test corrections for the Chapter 8 Test we took last Friday. We will then be working on the 3rd nine-week project. It is a project on students being geological engineers.

Geometry - Monday we are doing the test corrections for the Chapter 9 Test we took last Friday. We will then be working on the 3rd nine-week project. This project has students making art using geometric rotations and lines of symmetry we studied in Chapter 9.

The end of the nine-weeks is Thursday, March 16th. Students having any missing work, quizzes or tests to retake need to get this done soon.
