April 25th-29th Week in Preview

We are getting very close to CRT testing time which means we have A LOT to review. Now is a great time to start going back over past notes and tests. We will be doing review in class as well.

Here's what this week looks like:

Geometry:

Monday/Tuesday April 25th/26th

We have talked a bit about logic and reasoning throughout the year but need to make sure we know how to recognize conditional statements, converse statements, inverse statements, contrapositive statements, and biconditional statements. We also need to know how to determine truth value AND recognize Venn Diagrams.
HOMEWORK: Logic and Reasoning Homework

Wednesday/Thursday April 27th/28th

We will start working on our CRT Review Packet. We will spend two days in class working on the packet and it will be due Tuesday May 3rd/Wednesday May 4th. The first half of the packet should be completed in class this day.
HOMEWORK: First three pages of CRT Review Packet

Algebra II:

Monday/Tuesday April 25th/26th

In preparation for the CRT, I want us to know individually what YOU need to practice more, so today we will be taking a Practice CRT. The test itself will not go on your grade but your homework will be to write test corrections for the ones that you miss in the section you miss the most from and then that will go on your grade.
HOMEWORK: Test Corrections for the CRT Practice Test

Wednesday/Thursday April 27th/28th

Using our special right triangles knowledge we will find sine, cosine, and tangent of our special right triangles WITHOUT a calculator.
HOMEWORK: Trigonometry Homework wkst
