I knew I was going to be in trouble when mom got to n + 9.......

We have a busy week at Oasis!

Algebra 2 - We have been reviewing some applied problems this week. We discussed the money, rate, distance, mixture ans solution problems. We have also spent two days taking the ACT Aspire exam.

Geometry - We have been learning how to use tangent lines, chords, arcs and inscribed angles with circles. We have also spent two days taking the ACT Aspire exam.

It is always nice to get a little help with things now and then.
Here is what is happening in math this week at Oasis Academy.

Algebra 2 - We are going to be identifying mathematical patterns and find a formula for the nth term of a sequence. Students will identify and generate arithmetic and geometric sequences.  We learn how to write and evaluate an arithmetic series.

Geometry - We start by finding the surface area of cones and pyramids. We will then find the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids and cones. We will also find the surface area and volume of spheres.

This has to be that 'new math' they talk about. I was fortunate enough to go to the National Council of Teacher's of Mathematics convention held in San Antonio last week. I was able to collaborate with several of my peers from across the country (there were 7,000 in attendance) and enjoyed the classes offered. I want to thank Ms. Mackedon and Ms. Tisdale for letting me go. Here is what is happening at Oasis this week in math.

Algebra 2 -  Monday we did our Chapter 9 Test corrections. We we are graphing circles, ellipses and hyperbolas. Students will write equations of circles in standard form. We will identify mathematical patterns using sequence and series.

Geometry - We start the week by finishing the Chapter 10 Test and corrections. Students will recognize polyhedron and their parts, namely lines, points and planes. We will find the surface areas of prisms and cylinders.

You don't have to wait that long. We have tests coming up this week! Here is what is happening this week in math at Oasis Academy.

I will be at the National Council of Teacher's of Mathematics annual convention  held in San Antonio this Wednesday and Thursday. Mr. Tisdale will be taking my classes.

Algebra 2 - We will be solving rational equations on Monday which will finish Chapter 9. Students will then take the Chapter 9 Practice Test and the Chapter 9 Test.

Geometry - Students will find the areas, sectors and segments of circles. We will use segments and area models to find probabilities of events. Students will then take the Chapter 10 Practice Test and the Chapter 10 Test.
