Good luck to the juniors on the ACT this Tuesday!!!

While I hope you find this page useful, please let me know if there is any way that I can make it better for you.

All assignments and copies of handouts can be found on my RHS faculty site.  The link to the school's directory is here - my name is about two-thirds of the way down.

Please remember that I am available before and after school most days for additional help (with Power Mondays being an exception).  I keep an open door policy... if I'm there, I don't mind helping out with whatever is needed.

We won't be having class on Tuesday, 3/9, due to the morning testing.  Luckily, all AA&T sections are in the morning, so no one will get ahead or behind because of the strange schedule.

The test on trigonometric ratios and equations has been graded and posted.  I'll hand those back on Wednesday, 3/10, so that students will have them to study for the quarter test.

Speaking of the quarter test, it is scheduled for Thursday, 3/11.  The students already have the review sheet, which references previous quiz and test questions that are similar in concept to those on the quarter test.  All resources can be found on the course page.  We will also review in class on Wednesday, 3/10.

We've had a lot of absences lately - fields trips, illness, early spring breaks, etc - so there is still a lot of make-up work lingering about.  Any remaining quizzes and/or tests will be replaced using the quarter test.  Assignments are past due anyway, so those will remain as zeros.  If a student misses the quarter test, he/she will receive an incomplete for the quarter.

Next up, trigonometric functions (basically, the graphing side of trig).

We will be having class on Tuesday, 3/9, although I suspect everyone will be drained... the seniors will be exhausted from the field trip and the juniors will have just gone through three hours of testing!  We will use the time to make up anything from previous absences and also review for the unit test.

Speaking of the unit test, the students decided to have it on Wednesday, 3/10.

Just a reminder that the practice multiple-choice exam is due on Tuesday, 3/9.  I've encouraged everyone to first try it in a timed setting (55 minutes), then go back through the problems again to better review the concepts.

The differential equations project (the one involving circuits) is due on Friday, 3/12.

There is no quarter test in this course (AP has the option of giving one, so I'm choosing to continue with the instruction due to a loss of time earlier this semester).

We are still practicing AP free-response questions several times a week - some for a grade, some for instructional purposes.  Please note that it takes six to make a single grade, hence the time between scores in Parent Connection.

Please remember that the grade shown in Parent Connection does not include the 5 point AP bonus at this time (it'll get added when I enter in the exam grades).
