This class would normally only meet on Tuesday.

 

Students should complete the worksheet at the following link. They can either download the sheet, or record their answers on a separate sheet of paper. All work needs to be shown. Students can either turn this in when they return or, if they feel the may misplace the sheet, they can take a picture of their work and send it to Mr. Cuevas.

 

 

 

Last Week: We combined our knowledge of trigonometry and vectors to solve real-world problems.

 

This Week: We will continue our investigation of vectors, moving to more difficult problems involving acceleration, or when objects change movement speed over time.

 

Due by the end of the week: Velocity Problems (in class)

Last Week: Students practiced solving word problems involving vectors. They also began learning to find missing sides of right triangles using trigonometry (SOH CAH TOA)

 

This Week: Students will continue their study of trigonometry to find missing angles of right triangles. If time, we will combine this knowledge with vectors to see how objects accelerate and decelerate on ramps.

 

Due by the end of the week: Vector word problems

Last Week: We began learning the math behind vectors and forces -- two real-world applications of our mathematics.

 

This Week: We will continue our investigation of the math behind forces, applying our knowledge to real-world applications such as natural disasters and rocket launches.

 

Due by the end of the week: Vector/Force practice problems

Last Week: This class did not meet last week.

 

This Week: We will be examining probability in two real-life scenarios: the lottery and the Monty Hall paradox.

 

Due by the end of the week: None

Last Week: Students enjoyed a week away from school.

 

This Week: This class, now called Math Applications, will not meet this week. We will begin next week when college classes begin.

 

Due by the end of the week: None!

Last Week: Students began working on their final projects. For their finals, students need to research a real-life topic (climate change, migration, etc). They need to describe and show how math plays into this scenario, and also create a game complete with rules and board that models the situation.

 

This Week: Students will have more time to work on their finals.

 

Due by the end of the week: Final Project

 

Note: This class will not meet next week during finals.

Last Week: We learned about matrices in math as well as some of their real-world applications. We learned to multiply two matrices together.

 

This Week: We will use matrices to code and decode simple messages.

 

Due by the end of the week: None

Last Week: We played Pandemic to wrap up our unit on math and diseases.

 

This Week: We will begin our unit on math and warfare by learning to use matrices to code and decode messages -- a method that was refined and built upon during both World Wars.

 

Due by the end of the week: None

Last Week: Between weather, Halloween, and Hogwarts, we didn't have much time last week. We used the time we had to begin playing Pandemic.

 

This Week: We will play Pandemic and wrap up our unit on Diseases, beginning to move into Math in War by the end of the week.

 

Due by the end of the week: None

Last Week: We began learning to predict how diseases would spread in given scenarios. We also used math to predict how many people would be infected in given situations.

 

This Week: We will use the SIR formula (Susceptible, Infected, Recovering) to track the growth and decline of a disease in a population.

 

Due from last week: Disease Growth paper (tracking a disease over 3 days)

Last Week: We continued practicing probability and logic with King of Tokyo.

 

This Week: We will examine similar mechanics with King of New York before beginning to create our own dice games.

 

Due by the end of the week: Probability Practice 2
