June 3rd

IMP 100
They are doing a unit on function notation. This unit will also serve as a review of previous topics like, domain, range, slope, distribution...
In the previous unit on statistics many students failed to complete the second half of a project. The project was to develop a game that required strategy and used probability. Majority developed the game but only a handful explained how strategy and probability were used.
Recent assignments: "Parabola Graphing" due yesterday, Statistics Review, HW 20 and HW 19

IMP 200
Yesterday we had a very exciting class where we proved the Law of Cosines. The students have been given a 3 page packet with all the assignments for the week. After a day of review there will be a quiz early next week on the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.

Geometry
We've finished chapter 6 on circles. Next class will be review day and the following will be a test.

Pre-Calculus
They finished the unit on conic sections and are now working on polar coordinates.

Projectiles
The finished there lab that combined both horizontal and vertical motion last week. This week we did a mini-lab to review linear regression and to address the misconception that so move point of balance to the 1/3 mark would require 1/3 more weight on one side (distance from the fulcrum not considered)

In all math classes there will be a final during finals week.
