TOPICS OF THE MONTH OF October ASSIGNMENTS/PROJECTS/ ASSESSMENTS RESOURCES & WEB LINKS UPCOMING EVENTS & DATES OF INTEREST Algebra 1 Partap Unit 2: Reasoning with Linear Equations and Inequalities --Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically. --Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities discussion, teacher led discussion Homework- practice problems Students will open a Khan Academy account and have access to USA test prep. Students will be given packets with answers to verify their work. --Understand the concept of a function and use function notation. --Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. --Analyze functions using different representations.
Unit 3: Students will analyze quadratic functions only. Students will (1) investigate key features of graphs; (2) solve quadratic equations by taking square roots, factoring (x 2 + bx + c AND ax 2 + bx + c), completing the square, and using the quadratic formula; (3) Compare and contrast graphs in standard, vertex, and intercept forms. Students will only work with real number solutions. Unit 4- Modeling and Analyzing Exponential Functions In this unit students will: Analyze exponential
functions only. Build on and informally extend understanding of integer exponents to consider exponential functions. Use function notation. Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model. Interpret exponential functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. Analyze exponential functions and model how different representations may be used based on the situation presented. Build a function to model a relationship between two quantities. Recognize geometric sequences as exponential functions. Create new functions
from existing functions. Construct and compare exponential models and solve problems. Reinforce previous understanding of characteristics of graphs and investigate key features of exponential graphs. Investigate a multiplicative change in exponential functions. Create and solve exponential equations. Apply related linear equations solution techniques and the laws of exponents to the creation and solution of simple exponential equations.
