Welcome back from the week off! I was out of town most of the week, so I was not able to grade any tests. I will work on these tests this week. due to some other priority items upon my return.
Tutoring: Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning
Assessments: Quiz on Friday and test next Friday,the 12/12.
Monday
We will start class with time to finish unit test and write prior unit reflections.
Today, we start the trig unit with the conversion of radians and degrees and a look at the 3 main trig functions ( sine, cosine and tangent).
Help:https://www.khanacademy.org/math/trigonometry/unit-circle-trig-func/radians_tutorial/v/radians-and-degrees
HW: Study the trig definitions and the side labels
Tuesday
I will spend more time on the trig values to find missing angles and sides.
Also, we fill in the unit circle for use during the unit.
Help:http://www.mathwords.com/s/sohcahtoa.htm ( looks good with diagrams)
HW: None
Wednesday
Today, you look at the trig identity of sin^2 and cos^2 equals one after you practice using the unit circle.
Help:https://www.khanacademy.org/math/trigonometry/less-basic-trigonometry
HW; None
Thursday
Today, we review for the unit quiz with a focus on radians / degrees, using trig functions and the unit circle.
Help:http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/unit-circle.html
HW: Study for the quiz
Friday
Yes, we are one week closer to the next break. The class will have a quiz on trig functions. You can use your unit circle on the quiz and your trig diagram.

Today, we start the conics unit, with the circles as the highlighted conic of the day. I think you find this lesson the easiest of all lessons this week.
Help:http://www.webmath.com/gcircle.html
HW: None
Tuesday
We are on circles again today with a focus on equations of tangent lines and practice on circles. I will allow plenty of practice time in class to ensure mastery. I have an activity I created named, What is my Equation? ( I have a circular answer sheet too)
Help;https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra2/conics_precalc/circles-tutorial-precalc/e/graphing_circles
HW: None
Wednesday
Moving along on the conics unit, it is the ellipse of the day. These conics are very similar to a circle, so if you know a circle, you can graph an ellipse. The hardest part is the distinction of the vertices and the co-vertices.
Help:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nxT6LQhXLM
HW: Study for the quiz
Thursday
Day two of the ellipse is here. We focus on writing the equation of an ellipse. I will review writing coordinates of points.
Help:http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/Alg/Ellipses.aspx
HW: none
Friday
Yes, we made it, one less week until the end of the semester and one week closer to the next holiday! We work on a translated ellipse worksheet, and a White house application. I also will allow time to work on some missing work from the semester.
