Honors Algebra II Extra Credit Opportunity

Today in class we got a crash course in an amazing little number called i. Since application is infinitely more useful than memorization of the haphazard numerical identities of a letter, you have an extra credit assignment, if you choose to complete it. Find where the number i is used in that vast expanse we call the "real world" and write one paragraph (at least three sentences) on where and how it is used. This is for five extra credit points on your Chapter 5 quiz, but more importantly, it is for your educational enhancement! Due Wednesday when we get back from break.

Honors Algebra II Week of January 21-25

The transformation of f(x)
If you add to a function you'll give it a lift,
for the graph will be moved with a vertical shift,
But if you multiply take a close look and see,
the graph's stretched by that factor vertically,
and negating the function will cause a reflection,
across the x-axis in an up-down direction.
But if you add before the function's used, hey
The shift's horizontal the opposite way!
And multiplication by a factor inside reveals,
the graph's being stretched by the reciprocal's
And negating the values before f is applied
reflects across the y axis--it flips side to side!

Honors Algebra II August 13-17, 2007

Welcome to Honors Algebra II! I look forward to getting to know each of you and working with you this semester. If you still need to download the summer prerequsite packet, please go to the Prerequisite Packets page of my blog and you can find it there. It will be due the Friday, August 17th.

You can also download the syllabus here: Download file

All Honors Algebra II students need to have either a TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator by the first Thursday of school. We have a limited number available through our school's book room, but upperclassmen get priority and there may be few, if any, available for freshmen. Buying one of these now will not only help students in this course, but in all of their other high school math courses, as well as in their college years.

Here is a look at our first week:

Monday, August 13: Welcome!
Go over syllabus, learning styles inventories and questions on prerequisite packet page 1.
HW: Get your syallbus signed, your supplies purchased and finish prerequisite packet

Tuesday, August 14: SAT Challenge of the Day
Graphs, Slope, Intercepts (Sections 1.1 & 1.2)
Go over page 2 of prerequisite packet.
HW: Practice Problems on Sections 1.1 - 1.2
(I will make copies of these until everyone is issued a textbook!)
