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.

It must be that 'new' math they have been doing.
Here is what is happening at Oasis Academy this week.

Algebra 2 - We are getting ready to take our 1st Semester Finals on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. This test is very important for their semester average. I gave the students a Practice Final last week to help study from.  We will do a little more reviewing Monday before we take the test. Any retake quizzes, tests or late homework need to be turned in this week.

Remember......'thou shalt not divide by zero'. Weird things can happen.
Here is what is going to happen at Oasis Academy this week in math!

Algebra 2 students will divide polynomials using long and synthetic division. The 'Remainder Theorem' is introduced to determine if one polynomial is a factor of another. We will  solve polynomial equations by factoring and graphing. Students will solve problems using the rational, irrational and imaginary root theorems. We are at the end of the 2nd nine-weeks. Students will be given a progress report on Monday and it will show any missing work that needs to be turned in and quizzes that need to be taken/retaken.  I will be giving the students the 1st Semester Practice Final. The fifty question 1st Semester Algebra 2 Final will be given on Tuesday 12/20 and Wednesday 12/21. The final is worth 20% of the students semester grade and should be taken seriously.

They can't seem to ever get along.....

Here is what is happening in math during this very busy week at Oasis Academy.

Algebra 2 - We are going to finish our Chapter 5 Exam and test corrections on Monday. We  start Chapter 6 by classifying polynomials and finding cubic models. Students will analyze the factored form of a polynomial and write a polynomial function from its zeros. We will also divide polynomials using long and synthetic division.

Geometry - We will determine if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Students will use properties of diagonals of rhombuses and rectangles. We will verify and use properties of trapezoids and kites. Students will name coordinates of special figures by using their properties.
