We are nearing the end of our third unit of the year. In this unit, the primary focus was learning the many different ways to solve quadratic equations. Students also were introduced to the imaginary number system and complex numbers, as all quadratics have two roots (though some of them are not real!)

We are doing a project instead of a test at the end of this unit, and my hope is to start these projects this week. Students will have enough time to complete this in class, but I understand some students need extra time or miss class sometimes, so the option to work is available.

 

This project involves constructing a catapult and using quadratics to model projectile motion.

Students took their first test (Unit 1) on either Thursday 8/29 or Friday 8/30 which means we will be starting Unit 2 when we come back from our long Labor Day weekend.

The content in Unit 2 is all related to Quadratic Functions:

My goal is to have our Unit 2 test on Monday, 9/16.

**Edit:
9th Grade will test Wednesday 9/18 and Thursday 9/19
10th Grade will test Wednesday 9/18
11th Grade will test Tuesday 9/17 and Wednesday 9/18

Hello!

It is about time I finally update you on class. I intend to make a post each time we start a new unit with a scope and sequence of what the lesson covers as well as the date I intend to have our Unit exam. The Unit exam date may change due to pacing in class.

For a complete list of assignments and grades, please visit your student's Infinite Campus (for grades, updated at least every Friday).

Please email me with any additional questions or concerns.
