Nov 8th

IMP 100: The following has been assigned: HW 13, HW 14, "polynomials," "Distributing the Area," and HW 15. Last Thursday I broke the class into 4 groups depending on what each student needed (HW, solving 2-step equations, substitutions and evaluation, and challenge) All groups except the challenge group made progress towards their goals. Today we will be looking at how distribution can be used to do multi-step multiplication the homework will be HW 16. There will be an assessment day in the near future.

IMP 200:There has been two assignments related directly to the quadratic formula and two assignments related to vertex form. Student who struggled to complete the square have been struggling with vertex form. Starting last week we have begun a work sample that uses many of these topics. At this point no one has completed the work sample but a few will finish today.

Geometry 200: Assigned 1.5 (p 64) 1-23 odds, 1.6 (p.70) 1-11, 13-15, 18-20, 1.8 (p.83) 1-29, Review for test (bonus). There was a test last Wednesday on chapters 1.4-1.8 and a retest opportunity on chapters 0.1-1.4.

Pre-Calculus: The packet on Asymptotes/Powers is due tomorrow as is a supplemental assignment on asymptotes. There will be test tomorrow on the topic and a retest on linear functions.

Math and Art: We finished our work on change of scale and have moved onto fractals. Students who have not been turning artwork into me should as soon as possible. A fractal piece will be due early next week.

Advising: An advising newsletter went out Friday. One addition, this Tuesday our advising will be having a PJ Potluck event during lunch.
