IMP 100: Yesterday we had a test on graphing inequalities and writing linear equations. Today we started a new unit on statistics. There was no HW tonight.
IMP 200: We have been reviewing solving systems of equations. There will be test tomorrow on this topic.
Geometry: We are currently in Chapter 4.4 and will beginning triangle similarity proofs
PreCalc: We took a test today on exponential equations, interest situations and exponential rules
Projectiles: We started a lab called "throwing rocks" the concept we are working on is average rate of change and the concept of average velocity.

January 18th
It has been really crazy around here, sorry there has not been a new post in a while. In every class except math and art there will be portfolios due at the end of the semester.
In IMP 100, students are working on a POW (Problem of the Week) which is a bit of a misnomer as it takes more than a week and often the students feel like a (Prisoner of War). The topic of the POW is divisors. They've been working on it for the past 2 weeks, many are struggling doing the write-up. Today there will be a quiz retake opportunity that some students will take advantage of.
In IMP 200, there is also a final project that is the culmination of our statistics unit. They will be doing presentations and posters.
In Pre-Calc there is a quiz today on Trigonometry. The next two classes are for review of semester 1 topics for our final.
In Math and Art there will be both a final and a final project due by the end of the semester.
In Geometry we are reviewing chapter 3 today for a test on Monday. There will be no final in this class. The remainder of the semester will be given to chapter 4 and retests on previous chapters.

IMP 100
HW: Scientific Notation, Conversion Pre-test, Metric Conversion Practice
We will have a quiz tomorrow, with extra time on Wednesday.
IMP 200
HW: There has been a 4 page packet on Probability and Statistics that has covered combinations, permutations and the counting principle. They have also been working on exponential growth and decay. There has been one assignment concerning this topic; Dice decay.
Geometry:
Today we had a test on chapter 2. The chapter 2 review was due and the packet of chapter 2 HW was due last week. Many students have not turned in that assignment.
Math And Art
We are starting a unit on quilt making and probability.
Pre-Calculus
They have a quiz tomorrow on limits and epsilon and delta arguments. There will also be a re-quiz opportunity on asymptotes.

IMP 100
We're working on unit conversions. We've needed to review the metric system in order to progress. Recent assignments: Metric Conversion Practice, and HW 16
IMP 200
Recent assignments: HW 1, HW 2, HW 3 and "Alice"
Pre-Calc
In Professor E McSquared (2.2.1 and 2.2.2)
Math and Art
Composition of functions ws and fractal drawing
Geometry
Student have been given the choice of either doing a packet containing the chapters 2.2, 2.3, 2.5 and 2.6 or to do the questions from the textbook. Most students are choosing to do the packet. There was a separate packet for chapter 2.1.
Advising
These next two Fridays are for assessment. Currently, there are 2 Juniors who have permission not to attend. Everyone else has work samples and state tests to take.

Midterms
This past weekend I calculated each student's midterm grade. The grade on the progress report inly reflect HW and assessment scores. In IMP a student that has not shown mastery of half the material but is doing the assignments they can take the class for 1/4 credit instead of 1/2 credit. I will mention on the progress report any topic not mastered by the student so they know where to focus.
IMP 100
We are finishing a unit on distribution and should have an assessment opportunity at the end of the week. Yesterday assignment 16 was given out it should be turned in today for full credit. Today students who are caught up on assignments will be watching "The Story of One" by Terry Jones. This is in preparation for our next topic, unit conversions.
IMP 200
Yesterday we started a new unit on Statistics and Probability. Homework one was assigned. It addressed what made an appropriate sample for a population. Today I will give them HW 2 which addresses sampling methods and ratios.
Advising
They have a guest speaker tomorrow, the topic is philosophy. There are still a few ESIS forms out there that the office is needing. Yesterday student received their student IDs. This Friday it will be our turn to work on the wall outside Trillium.
Geometry
We have started chapter 2 which deals heavily with logic. I'm trying to give worksheets as an option. So far we have covered chapters 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3
Pre-Calculuc
They finished the topic of asymptotes last week. Today they will get an updated syllabus that will outline the remainder of our classes this semester. This week we'll be discussing limits and finishing the first section of Prof. E McSquared's Calculus Primer.
Math and Art
They have a fractal drawing due on Thursday. Today there will be more work with composition of functions which should be done in class.
