on Oh boy, coming back from spring break was not easy. However, I still managed to learn a whole lot from this week. We are now graphing up a storm with quadratics. This is the most times in my life I’ve used the word parabola. Speaking of “parabola” that’s this weeks topic! First of all, a quadratic function… Continue Reading Week 8 – Pre-Calc 11
on This blog post flew under my radar unfortunately as my last day of classes before spring break was Wednesday and in all the commotion for packing, it was overlooked. In spite of this, I feel that I’m even better equipped now to write on my subject of choice. That subject is factoring. Even though I covered… Continue Reading Week 7 – Pre-Calc 11

on The fourth week in and everything is still going great. I admit that a few of the concepts around the radicals have been challenging, but with a bit of time, they are mysteries not too difficult to unravel. This week’s BIG theme and an overlying one of this unit are LIKE TERMS. One more time… Continue Reading Week 4 – Pre-Calc 11
on After our first unit test, I am feeling good about this semester in mathematics. We have moved on to radicals, and they are great! The piece I like the most about radicals is how the index changes how you look at the equation. It is integral to mixed and entire radicals. The difference between a mixed and… Continue Reading Week 3 – Pre-Calc 11
on Week 2 in Pre-Calc has been great! We’ve covered much more in our series and have moved up and on to geometric sequences and series. Those these are fairly basic, I love how they work. Honestly. I find it fascinating that even when you are constantly multiplying, you can have tons of different results. For… Continue Reading Week 2 – Pre-Calc 11
on This was week 1 of Pre-Calc 11 and so far, I am enjoying it! We’ve started off with arithmetic sequences and arithmetic series. The difference between the two is that in an arithmetic sequence, you are either adding or subtracting the same difference to your starting number. In a series, you are adding all the… Continue Reading Week 1 – Pre-Calc 11
