Pre-AP Adjusted 13-2 HW assignment

  Pre-AP Algebra II

*Slight* adjustments to the section 13-2 HW assignment (disregard what is on the syllabus) – this assignment is due on Weds/Thurs (May 20/21):

  • Pg. 939, #26-29 (all), 30-46 (evens), 50-55 (all), 58-64 (all)
  • Pg. 947, #20-26 (evens)

You may notice that the last set of problems is actually from section 13-3; these are the degree/radian conversion problems.

Updated TAG/Pre-AP Algebra II Calendar

This has NOTHING to do with the “swine flu”.

. . .

Actually…

The reason for the calendar revision is that the next major test (Chapter 11.6 – 12) was originally slated for Thursday, May 14 — the same day as the World History AP test.  Since a number of sophomores would be out for that exam, we wanted to move the test to the following Monday, May 18 (Tuesday, May 19 for B-day).  However there was rumor that the final bus evacuation day might get re-scheduled for Monday May 18 (which would basically screw up everything), so we had to wait to hear back from administration before moving the test date.

Today we received word that the bus evacation drill has been *cancelled* — due to concerns related to the swine flu — which frees us to push the Chapter 12 test back one class block to Monday/Tuesday, May 18/19.  That is the only major change, although there are a couple of other minor adjustments.

So even though the main reason for this revision was a conflict with the AP World History Exam, you can say that it did indeed have something to do with the swine flu.  =)

Here’s the new calendar:
(you’ll get one in class, so don’t worry about printing this out unless you’re impatient)

Partial Fractions, Binomial Theorem, & Conics Project Worksheets

  Pre-AP Algebra II

Update (4/25) – Partial Fractions Class Notes:
Powerpoint (filesize: ~2.1 MB) | PDF, 4 slides per page (filesize: ~6.3MB)


Here are the worksheets for the next two lessons before we get back into the textbook for chapter 12.  Due to the scheduling of the TAKS tests, both of these assignments are due on Monday/Tuesday, May 4/5.

Also, if you need a copy of the Conics Project Worksheet, here is “blank” copy – you will need the values for the parahelion and aphelion values, so ask your group members or your math teacher for those.  Remember: the project is DUE on May 8/11.
