Febuary 18th

IMP 1 (Algebra/Geometry)
Has been working on Similar and Congruent figures while reviewing past algebra. There have been about 3 to 4 homework assignments so far in this class and students should be expecting a test later on in the week reviewing the information covered so far. Recently we have been working on graphing, ratios that exist between similar figures and solving for missing side lengths and angles.

IMP 2 (Stats)
Has been doing a unit from the IMP books on statistics. So far we have discussed ratios, had a quiz on ratios, talked about probability, comparing different sample populations, null hypothesis, ect. We will begin gathering data to further our discussions. Soon students will be designing projects that will incorporate past concepts on probability and newer concepts like the Chi factor.

IMP 2/3(Trig)
Has been studying Trig. So far we've studied Sine, the unit circle, radians, and degrees. This week we will look at how the unit circle can be used to generate a sine or cosine wave and we'll look at the other trig function rules revolving around SOHCAHTOA.

IMP 3/4 (Calc)
We've been take a lot of limits and have begun applying our idea of limits to slope. This past we we came up with an equation for slope that uses limits. This week we will practice finding the slope or equations at points and discussing slope relationship to velocity. I would like to give a take home quiz on this information in the coming week.
