Welcome back from the holidays, I hope you had a restful week off. I was out of town most of the holiday, so I will grade your tests this week as I have other priority items to do upon my return.
Tutoring: Tuesday afternoon and Friday morning
Assessments: Quiz on Thursday or Friday this week
Monday
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.

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)

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.

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.

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.
