Here is the assignment for tomorrow for those of you who did not receive a worksheet.  Notice that number 3 is different from what was on the board (the same on the worksheet).

Hello and WELCOME BACK!!!

I hope you had a wonderful spring break!

Algebra Two-  Today we looked at families of quadratics, we are looking at a standard quadratic (parent function) and shifting it up, down, left and right (sometimes more then one) and getting a new graph!

If you want to use a graphing calculator to see if you are on the right track, here is a great one to use:

use it and find out what the graph will look like!!

There are several other online graphing calculators that you can use in order to help you succeed!!

Don't just sit there and say "I DON'T UNDERSTAND", use your abilities and figure it out!!!

Monday, April 4th

WOW- it's 5th period!  Is everybody still asleep?  It was a rough couple of classes without much getting accomplished

Here is a recap of today's classes:
- Algebra One - We looked at a third way of solving systems of equations, ELIMINATION.  We will continue working on problems using elimination tomorrow. 
        - Use this video to review for class tomorrow: Solve by Elimination

Algebra Two- We reviewed what a determinate of a quadratic equation is, and what it tells us about the quadratic.
- Here is a nice little review of what we looked at today! Quadratic formula and the discriminant

Please comment if you have any questions or tips for your classmates!

Today's Lessons and Assignments

Algebra One- We looked at two ways to solve linear systems of equations.  We will finish making our "large graphs" tomorrow and start looking at a third way to solve linear systems!!

-Look at these videos to review the last two methods:

Graphically: Solving a system with graphing!!!
Substitution:Solving a system with substitution!!


Algebra Two- We added a fourth method of solving a quadratic equation, THE QUADRATIC FORMULA!!
- Homework:  Worksheet- Page 62, #2-12 even


Want something nerdy and math?  Maybe not, but these videos will make you laugh!!

-------Quadratic Song
-------Really Bad Quadratic Rap

Can you find a better video about the Quadratic Equation???
