Here is the [updated] schedule for the 3rd Six Weeks.  Please note that this year's Fall final exams are AFTER winter break.  However, the last major test is BEFORE the break.

FYI, this is NOT something that we will be teaching in Algebra II.  This is why we have graphing calculators =)

In addition to the six problems that are assigned from section 4-4 for Cramer's Rule, here is a worksheet with an additional 4 problems:

04_04_Cramers_Rule_Practice.pdf

This worksheet is due on Friday/Monday, October 24/27, along with the rest of the Cramer's Rule section.

Here are the test reviews for chapter 3 (linear systems) for both classes:

• Regular (Test is Oct. 20/21): Review Chapter 3 Algebra II.doc |
  pdf format
• Pre-AP (Test is Oct. 16/17): Review Chapter 3 PreAP.pdf

Here is the handout that explains how to do the homework for section 2-7.  This assignment is due on Thursday/Friday, Oct. 2/3 (yes, that is AFTER the chapter 2 test).

This assignment requires a TI-83/84 calculator, and explores how to do scatter plots and linear regressions on the graphing calculators.  The following handout explains step-by-step how to perform these on the calculator:

The HW (from the textbook) is:

Section 2-7, Page 146, #6, 7, 15, 16, 24

*for 6, 7, and 15, you do NOT need to draw any graphs on paper - just find the equation of the best fit line, and the correlation coefficient.  When rounding decimals, use 3 decimal places.
