Are you a complete square?

I would like you to spend a little time reviewing the last thing we were working on before I left. The link below will take you to a page that has a description of completing the square. Every one approaches things slightly differently so this description will be slightly different than mine. The thing I like best about this page is the applet that lets you practice completing the square. I would like you to try the applet 10 times. On your own sheet of paper write down each problem that you work so that you can turn it in. Work with each other if you need help. I bet you will all be able to get through it ok. If you are really stuck trying to figure out what to do you can always email me or try asking Roni.

Please have your sheet turned in to my desk by monday April 20. (the first day after spring break)

Class work for 3/13


Here are some practice problems. In the event we do not have class tomorrow they are assigned as class/homework. If we do have class we will work on them together (among other things!)

Be sure to read my comments in the first post.

Yeah, precalc has their on blog!!

I will post the review documents from the last unit in a future post. Also stay tuned for work for class tomorrow. There is a fair chance either myself or all of us will not be in school tomorrow (check out the weather!).
BUT!!! worry not my intrepid mathematicians -- I will post work that you can do at your leisure. Keep in mind, this work is required. If you don't do it I will find some terrible misery to inflict upon you....like, say, spending lunch working on precalc (yum!).
I suggest adding yourself as a "follower." That way you'll be notified when I add stuff and you can stay on top of what is going on.
