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.

The sophomores take the PSAT exam this week. I hope they don't have any questions like this!

Algebra 2 - We are going to start the week by reviewing the practice PSAT we took last Thursday. Tuesday is the PSAT. Wednesday we will finish Chapter 8 by evaluating and solving natural log expressions and equations. We  will review the Chapter 8 Practice Test on Thursday to prepare for the Chapter 8 Test next week.

Geometry - We are wrapping up Chapter 9 this week. Monday we will represent translations, dilations, reflections and rotations with matrices.  We won't have class Tuesday due to the PSAT exam the sophomores are taking. Students will review the Chapter 9 Practice Test on Wednesday to prepare for the Chapter 9 Test on Thursday.

It always helps to exercise....
Here is what we are doing at Oasis Academy this week in math.

Algebra 2 - We will start the week by solving exponential and logarithmic equations. We will finish Chapter 8 by evaluating and solving natural logarithmic expressions and equations. Students will get a Chapter 8 Practice Test on Thursday to review for their Chapter 8 Test next week.

Geometry - We will learn how to represent translations, dilations, reflections and rotations by using matrices. We will how to use a composition of reflections to make new images. Students will get a Chapter 9 Practice Test on Thursday to review for their Chapter 9 Test next week.

It is always nice to find that 'one'.

Here is what we are doing in math at Oasis Academy this week.

Algebra 2 - The Algebra students finished Chapter 7 last week. We begin Chapter 8 by learning how to model exponential growth and decay. We will identify the role of the constants in the family of exponential functions. Students will write, evaluate and graph logarithmic functions. We will the properties of logarithms to simplify and expand them.

Geometry - The Geometry students finished Chapter 8 last week. We begin Chapter 9 by learning about isometries and find translation images of figures. Students will find reflection and rotation images of figures. We will also identify the different types of symmetry of figures.

You always have to be careful with who helps when doing math.... Here is what is happening in math this week at Oasis!

Algebra 2 - We will finish Chapter 7 on Monday. We will then do our Chapter 7 Practice Test and Test this week.  Students were given a Progress Report on Thursday 2/2. It showed their grade, missing assignments and any quiz or test they might want to retake.
