Today, we look at an application of polynomials, area and perimeter of figures with polynomial sides. Also, we explore Pascal's Triangle, you will be asked to think deeply today.
Help:http://www.mathsisfun.com/pascals-triangle.html
HW: Quiz tomorrow.

Tuesday
You can shine today with a quiz on add, subtract and multiply polynomials. A second item on the quiz is a quadratic application and powers of i. Notes will include Pascal's triangle
