It has come to my attention that some students are rather frustrated that the website is often down.
Thus this site will now be located at gvhsmath.wordpress.com
with the hopes that there is less down time.
So go to gvhsmath.wordpress.com

Thus we will once again combine the writing standard 2.2 with math and become better writers, better thinkers and better at math!

Algebra 1 period 6: We are are going to spend a second day learning how to factor equations, only today we will also include a technique called the difference of squares. We are now on Chapter 9.5 (problems: 16, 18, 34, 48, 55-64 all). By the end of class students will be able to factor all trinomials and binomials that are factorisable. They will demonstrate this by factoring at least 10 problems during class.
Algebra B students will continue working on various problems at their own pace.
Algebra 1 period 8 will learn about solving the exponential equation by using the quadratic formula, this is basically Chapter 10.5 only slightly different so look at the book if you are a little lost but it might confuse you more, if it does DON’T PANIC!

General Math students will start class by working on fractions. We will then take a standard 6.1 common assessment. We will work out some problems involving standard 6.1.
Algebra B students will start chapter 11.2 on simplifying radical operations .By the end of class stunts will be able to simplify equations that have radicals.

Algebra 1 period 6: We are continuing to learn how to factor equations, just the opposite of chapter 8. We are now on Chapter 9.3 (problems: 20, 34, 38, 56, 61, 62, 70-77 all) and Chapter 9.4 (problems: 14, 16, 34, 36, 52, 56- 62 all, notes included in 9.3). By the end of class students will be able to factor all trinomials that are factorisable. They will demonstrate this by factoring at least 10 problems.
Algebra B students will continue working on various problems at their own pace.
Algebra 1 period 8 will learn about solving the quadratic equation by using the quadratic formula, this is basically Chapter 10.4 I recommend doing problems 14, 26, 28, 36, 46, 57-71 all. Notice that we are not doing Chapter 10.3 on completing the square. So by the end of class today students will be able to solve a quadratic equation be either factoring, graphing, or by using the quadratic equation, they will demonstrate this by solving at least 5 equations before they leave.

General Math students will start class by working on fractions. We will then take a standard 6.1 common assessment. Then we will do some more activities involving word problems!
Algebra B students will start chapter 11.1 on simplifying radical expressions.By the end of class stunts will be able to recognize a radical function ans simplify it to its most basic form.

Algebra 1 period 6: We will start by reviewing the greatest common factor and how to factor using the distributive property this is Chapter 9.2: 16,36, 42, 43, 46, 50, 66-75 all. Students will be able to use the skills of determining the greatest common factor to simplify binomials.
Algebra B students will continue working on various algebra topics at their own pace. All students will complete a worksheet of their various sections.
Algebra 1 period 8 students will learn about the quadratic equation, this is basically Chapter 10.2 I recommend doing problems 12, 14, 18, 22, 40, 53-62 all, although they are not required because I handed out a worksheet that is required (DO it by Friday!)

Algebra B students will have an exam on quadratic equations, exponential functions and logs. Then we will start chapter 11.1 on simplifying radical expressions.
Feb 19
Algebra 1 period 6: We we start with a chapter 8 exam and a chapter 9 pretest. Then we start by understanding the greatest common factor and how to factor using the distributive property this is Chapter 9.1: 20, 28, 54, 70. Students will be able to determine the greatest common factor.
Algebra B students will continue working on various algebra topics at their own pace. All students will complete a worksheet of their various sections.
Algebra 1 period 8 students will learn about the quadratic equation, this is basically Chapter 10.1 I recommend doing problems 10, 16, 18, 26, 38, 41-43, 60-74 even, although they are not required because I handed out a worksheet that is required (DO it by Tuesday!)
