Friday - Unit 1 Assessment

Tuesday, January 12, 2016

Week 2 - Jan 11-15

Monday - We started the main part of this course. We began formulation of Linear Programming problems.  We took notes on Keeper # 3 and practiced formulating 3 problems.

Tuesday - We took the formulations from Monday and went through the complete solving process. we took notes on Kepper #4.

Both Keeper Keys can be found at the top of the blog under Unit 1.

Welcome back - 2nd Semester - week of Jan 5, 2016

Welcome back!

Tuesday was a great get to know you day. I hope you all had an exciting 1st day back and are ready to get this semester started.  You are only a few short months away from GRADUATION!!!!

Remember you need some sort of notebook. Either a composition book, spiral notebook, or a 3 ring binder.
You also need a calculator. One that is not a cell phone by its first nature.

Wednesday we begin notes on graphing. We will begin identifying equations in standard form and then learn how to graph them by finding the x and y intercepts. We will then translate that to inequalities and add shading.

Thursday we will learn to solve systems of inequalities by graphing and identifying overlapping shaded regions.

Friday we will begin to look at linear programming problems and begin to formulate (set up) linear programming problems.
