=04/29:= =We will be having our first quiz of Term 4 next Tuesday on finding x and y intercepts and discussing the characteristics of polynomial functions.=

=04/29:= =We will be having two check-in problems on Thursday on the characteristics of polynomial functions.=

=04/14:= =We will be having two check-in problems on Thursday on using u-substitution/grouping to find the x and y intercepts of polynomial functions.=

=04/11:= =We will be having our first check-in problem(s) of Term 4 on Monday on finding x and y intercepts of polynomial functions.=

=04/01:= =We will be having our last quiz of Term 3 on Thursday. The quiz will include all of the factoring techniques, as well as some problems off of Quiz #5.=

=03/28:= =We will be having a check-in on the u-substitution method and the grouping method on Tuesday=

=03/24:= =We will be having a check-in on the factoring formulas on Friday=

=03/21:= =Quiz #5 has been graded and posted on Aspen=

=03/13:= =We will be having a quiz on Wednesday on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing expressions (Section 5 - 1).=

=03/05:= =Test Update! In order to have enough time to review for our Big Test on Chapter 4, I am moving the test to Monday (for the last time)!=

=03/02:= =I have decided to move the re-take of the Check-in Problems to Tuesday. I will explain the reasons for this move in class tomorrow.=

=02/27:= =Everyone will have an opportunity to improve their Term 3 grade by re-doing Check-in Problems #19, 20, & 21 during class on Monday. Please understand that they will not be the same exact problems, but ones that are comparable. These topics will also be included on the Chapter 4 Test on Friday.=

=02/27:= =Due to the need for additional review time, our really big, important Test on all of Chapter 4 will now be next Friday instead of next Tuesday.=

=02/25:= =Our next check-in problem (#21) on finding points of intersection between two functions will be given on Wednesday. You will need to solve one problem using factoring and another problem using the quadratic formula.=

=02/10:= =Due to my absence today the next check-in problem (#20) will be given in class on Tuesday and will require you to solve a quadratic equation using factoring or the quadratic formula.=

=02/07:= =The next check-in problem (#20) will be given in class on Monday and will require you to solve a quadratic equation using factoring.=

=02/03:= =The first check-in problem of term 3 (#19) will be given in class on Tuesday and will require you to build a quadratic function from a graph that I have drawn for you.=

=01/31:= =Your final term 2 grades as well as your midyear exam grades are available on Aspen.=

=01/21:= =Your midyear exam will now be given next Monday (01/27) at 9:30 in the media center and consist of 50 multiple choice questions. Be sure to bring a #2 pencil and your calculator (or I will bring it for you if it's in the drawer). The exam will cover the problems from Quiz #1, Quiz #2, Test #1, and Quiz #3 that we went over in class today. There will also be questions from Quiz #4 on the exam so be sure to stop by at some point on Friday to pick those up.=

=01/14:= =The last quiz of Term 2 (Quiz #4) will be given on Friday and cover everything we have discussed in Sections 4-1, 4-2, & 4-3, as well as the problems on the "Algebra Review" worksheet. We will begin our review on Wednesday.=

=01/10:= =The last check-in problem of Term 2 (#18) will be given in class on Tuesday and require you to find the x-intercepts for a quadratic function using the quadratic formula.=

=01/08:= =The next check-in problem (#17) will be given in class on Friday and require you to find the vertex, the equation of the axis of symmetry, the y-intercept, mirror images, and the number of x-intercepts for a quadratic function.=

=01/07:= =We will be having a quiz (#4) on quadratic functions that will count on Term 2. The day and details of Quiz #4 will be discussed next week.=

=Due to the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, the unexpected snow days last week, and the fact that midyear exams are right around the corner, we will not be able to have a test in Term 2. So in order to somewhat reduce the weight placed on Quiz #3 and Quiz #4, I will be adding a third quiz grade in for you that is equivalent to whatever your best grade is on either Quiz #3, Quiz #4, or the average of your check-in problems from Term 2. Please see me with any questions.=
