Algebra wound up linear equations with the end of course exam in the last week of January and started working with exponents in the first week of February. Students have been investigating all different mathematical ways of working with exponents. There has been class discussion, partner work, making their own quiz, and a socrative quiz on line!! Next we will be seeing how exponential graphs and models exist in the world around us and throughout history!
Geometry finished proving many concepts in their end of course exam in the last week of January too, and begin semester 2 with a unit on similarity!
Students are finding much algebra in this unit including quadratic functions. We began with solving proportions, and are now setting up our own proportions in many different situations where figures are similar. This includes all lengths in figures, including perimeter, sides, altitudes, etc., as well as area and volume.
We are all looking forward to mastery understanding of all the exciting mathematical concepts this semester!
