CCGPS Advanced Algebra February 9-13, 2015

Check out new videos at the top of the blog. 

Tutoring: Tuesday afternoon and Thursday  morning. I am unable to tutor Friday morning due to a parent teacher conference.

Assessments: Unit Two test is Monday and unit 2B quiz is tentative for Friday or Monday.

Monday
Today, you shall shine, as you take the unit 2A test. I have provided the review sheet and key for you to study. The review sheet is a GREAT prep guide for the test.

HW: The house worksheet is due by Friday


Tuesday
Today, we start unit 2A, with factoring by grouping and complex numbers. The class will work on a puzzle for imaginary numbers, you can have 4 answer choices, a great way to check your work.

HW: None

Wednesday
Today, we are  exploring end behavior  and creating a chart for end behavior. In addition, we move into domain and range. I promise domain and range is easier as practice increases.
