SL 2 - 10/22/12

Great work folks. The trig unit was tough but you did well. Next we're on to the IA. This is a Type II Mathematical Modeling IA. The idea is to find a mathematical function that represents the change in winning heights for Olympic high jumpers over a period of years. Of course there is no perfect function, so the exercise is really about trying various functions and discussing the relative strengths and weaknesses of each. You are to the initial attempt manually, that is by hand. After analyzing your approach, you will go on to use technology to try to do better. The actual functions that you come up with are, of course, not the point. The point is to come up with them in a mathematically supportable way, and then discuss how well they fit the data, their limitations and applicability. More on that in class. I've scheduled the Red Lab for Wed and Fri and have links below to some supporting documentation. Most importantly, know that you will not have time in class to do an adequate job on this project. You have plenty of time (see schedule below) but there won't be enough in class. So plan your time over the next couple weeks accordingly. See you in class,
Mr. Alei

Monday we'll review and prepare for our Trig Unit test on Wed. Use your judgment and discretion on HW. Pick the areas that you need practice on and spend an hour each night minimum. I suggest doing all questionbank problems as they are more integrated. If there's a skill that you notice you need some work on, go to that section in H&H for explanations and a few practice problems. If you've done all the QB problems, go back through them to try to summarize lessons learned. See you in class,

SL 2 - 10/1/12

This will be a full week of work with trig functions. Much of what you see will build off your work last year with function transformations and graphing. If you miss class due to college meetings, please be sure to stay up with the work. Everyone is welcome to our review session on Wed right after school if you need some guidance. See you in class,
Mr. Alei

HL 2 - 10/1/12

Monday we'll move on to implicit differentiation, then take a day to do more questionbank practice before our second quiz on Friday. After that, we'll go on to derivatives of other functions, in context of course. Continue to work on questionbank problems in addition to your regular homework as we cover the relevant sections. See you in class,
