May 16th-20th Week in Preview
We survived the CRT!! Now it is time to get ready for our finals. Finals Days are May 27th, 31st, and June 1st. Please make sure you don't miss class those days because there won't be time after to make up the final. Also now is the time to turn in any missing work and make-up any tests and do everything possible to get your grade as high as you can so when we get the CRT scores back it won't ruin your grade.
Here's how this week will run:
Geometry:
Monday/Tuesday May 16th/17th
We will start our tessellation projects which will be due the day of the final (that is May 27th for B Classes and June 1st for A Classes). The project consists of two tessellation pictures. The first will be made from regular polygons and the second will be made from a sliding tessellation piece. One needs to be from construction paper pieces glued together and the other needs to be made from traced pieces colored in. The more creative the better!
HOMEWORK: Nothing will be due next class
Wednesday/Thursday May 18th/19th
We will spend half the class working on a Fractions Review worksheet (all work in these last weeks will help us be better prepared for Algebra II next year) that will be due at the end of class. When finished you may work on your tessellations project.
HOMEWORK: Any missing work
Friday/Monday May 20th/23rd
Our Algebra II prep of today will be a review of the Distributive Property. Again the worksheet will be due at the end of class and when finished you may work on your tessellation pictures.
HOMEWORK: Any missing work
Algebra II:
Monday/Tuesday May 16th/17th
We will be spending the last couple weeks working on common Algebra skills that need to be second nature in preparation for College Prep or Pre-Calculus. They are also good skills for the ACT. This day we will review and perfect our skills with simplifying Algebraic Expressions. All worksheets from here on out will be due at the end of class so we will have no homework.
HOMEWORK: Any missing work
Wednesday/Thursday May 18th/19th
We will spend the class working on Solving Equations. Again the worksheet will be due at the end of class.

HOMEWORK: None
Wednesday/Thursday May 4th/5th:
A Classes will turn in their review. All classes will move into our short 3-D unit. We will spend the class learning how to recognize different 3-D shapes as well as learning their names and how many faces, edges, and vertices they have. We will then move into finding the surface area of 3-D shapes.
HOMEWORK: Finish 3-D vocab packet and More Nets of Solids Packet
Friday/Monday May 6th/9th
We will review surface area and move into finding the volume of 3-D shapes. All the formulas can be found on your reference sheet so make sure you know how to use the formulas and what they mean.
HOMEWORK: Volume Packet
Algebra II
Tuesday May 3rd:
Another day of working on our big CRT Review Packet.
HOMEWORK: To be on track to completing your 9 objectives, you should have 6 sections done by next class
Wednesday/Thursday May 4th/5th:
Same as before. Be sure you are getting the help that you need and asking questions on any you are confused on.
HOMEWORK: At this point, you should have 8 sections done by next class
Friday/Monday May 6th/9th:
This is our final day to work on the CRT Review packet. Make sure you are checking your answers as you go so you are ready to turn in the entire packet next class. We will not correct it together, we will just turn it in.
HOMEWORK: Finish 9 sections of the CRT Review packet (all 13 for extra credit)
As always, let's make it a great week!!!

March 8th-11th Week in Preview
The end of the quarter is sneaking up on us quickly and many students have much to make up from either being gone or just not completing their homework. Quarter ends on the 25th of March and all work will be due the 23rd so start now to get yourself on track, please!
Here is what this week will look like...
Geometry:
Tuesday/Wednesday March 8th/9th
We will learn our last lesson in the Coordinate Geometry using some of the properties we have learned about our shapes and using the distance formula and slope formula. We will be plotting out shapes and them proving them to be certain shapes by showing that lines are parallel or perpendicular and that lines are congruent.
HOMEWORK: Verifying Shapes wkst
Thursday/Friday March 10th/11th
This day will either be a make-up day or a Pi Day party depending on the amount of missing assignments in your period. (Your class must have less than 40% of the class with missing assignments in order to celebrate Pi Day.)
HOMEWORK: Get all missing work in for this unit before the test next week
Algebra II:
Tuesday/Wednesday March 8th/9th
We will be taking the Chapter 13 test on the trigonometry functions.
HOMEWORK: None
Thursday/Friday March 10th/11th
We will start our new unit, Chapter 9 on Rational Expression operations. Our first day will be spent learning how to simplify rational expressions and multiply and divide rational expressions.
HOMEWORK: Pg 511 #1-19 (0dd), 27, 28, 51, 52, 55, 56

Feb 28th-March 7th Week in Preview
I cannot believe we are already moving right into March. Third quarter is going to be over before we know it. (The quarter ends on the 25th of March.) As always make sure you are keeping up with everything and coming in for help on anything you are not understanding.
This new week is going to be a bit strange because of the ACT test being offered on Tuesday. I will see a lot of my B classes and very little of my A classes. But we can't get behind on A days so my A classes are going to have to work really hard to keep up with everything. Here's the overview:
Geometry:
Monday (B classes) February 28th
We will be working more with slope and graphing practice to solidify the concepts we have thus far learned in coordinate geometry. Make sure you understand how to find the slope in two ways and how to graph a line as well as write the equation of a line.

Dear Algebra II Students...
I really did try to post the answer key to the Term 2 Final Review. I scanned it and have it on a word document but it won't transfer over to the blog.
If you are REALLY interested in having a copy, please email me at krobinson@alpine.k12.ut.us and I will email you the answer key with all the work shown.
Someday, I will figure out how to be more technically smart and I will be able to post the keys here.
