2/10 Friday

Shortened periods for this day (pep assembly)

Algebra 2: Review rational exponents and simplifying nth roots. Preparing for a quiz.

AdvAlg: Started notes on Explicit and recursive formulas.

Physics: Finish the countdown timers and started (a few groups) the LCD displays.

2/9 Thursday

Algebra 2: Practice quiz on rational exponents.

AdvAlg: Programmed factoring on the computer…no homework…half the class missing

Physics: We are ready to program LCDs for our final Arduino project as we finish the countdown timer.

DigiPhoto: Finishing Winter sport’s pages

2/8 Wednesday

Algebra 2: Went over nth root homework, discussed rational exponents. HW: 321 – 332

AdvAlg: Review evaluating functions: HW 84 – 96 …if time permits discuss explicit and recursive functions

Physics: Build 8 “digital hour glass”

DigiPhoto: Start printing all pages and compiling

2/7 Tuesday

Algebra 2: nth Roots – HW 273 – 295 odd

AdvAlg: Quiz on Functions/Domain and Range – Class work on evaluating functions

Physics: Built theremins in class (they worked great)

DigiPhoto: Worked on Ads and finalizing winter pages

 

2/1 Wednesday

Algebra 2: finish radical multiplication and start division – one class finished rationalizing denominators. All the other classes with work on it Thursday. A quiz on add/sub/mult/rationalizing denominators is planned for Friday.

AdvAlg: start next unit on functions – we finished the quiz from Tuesday – there was not enough time to start functions. We will start the function unit on Thursday.

physics: work on Arduinos. We hope the software is working. – The software was not working today…but should be up and running on Thursday. The students were able to share their laptops and all groups (except 1) were able to program their arduinos to turn a series of 3 LEDs on and off. One group was able to modify the programming to change how their lights functioned.

DifiPhoto-continue ads – We worked on cutting out senior mosts, finishing all of the pages up to the spring sports while working on ads.

DigiPhoto: Ad work

Physics: next Arduino project – in computer lab and coding for the Arduino

1/30 Monday

Algebra 2: Reviewed and took quiz on graphing/simplifying radicals

AdvAlg: Took practice quiz on absolute values

DigiPhoto: worked on ads/cleaning up photos/and senior mosts

Physics: Built our first circuits using the Arduinos

1/27 Friday
