Here is an update of the events for the past week and then this week, all in one past with 3 snow days last week:
Tutoring: Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and Friday morning.
Assessments: Unit test is Wednesday, March 4th, 2015
Monday
Today, we will look at finding all roots of a polynomial and how to find the roots of a 4th degree polynomial. Also, we write the equation of a polynomial given the roots. You will receive your unit 2B quiz back.

HW: none
2/24-2/26 Snow Days
Friday and Monday
Today, we review the material learned thus far in the past few days ( roots of polynomials and writing equations of polynomials from roots). We write the equation of a polynomial with imaginary roots. Also, you will complete a circle problem of all the steps of finding roots and then writing the equation of a polynomial. In addition, we solve a system of equations graphically and algebraically.

HW; None
Tuesday
It is sketching the graph of a polynomial given characteristics and review for the unit test.

HW: Finish review sheet and study for unit test
Wednesday
Test day!! I hope you are ready to show me what you know and to score an A on the test. The review sheet is very similar to the test, so the review sheet is a practice test.

HW: None, test day
Thursday
You can wrap up the test if needed and work on a circle problem. If time allows, the class works on a box task, an application of polynomials.

HW; None
Friday
Today, we finish up the box task.
Have a great weekend!
