Monthly Schedule

(Geometry, Periods E and F)

M 5/2/05

HW due: Write §13.2 #20, 22. Also revisit §12.6 #8d; write an equation and solve for r in such a way that your thought process is crystal clear.

After class: Here are two solutions for #8d.

Method 1:
Let r = original radius = 30 m.
Let R = larger radius to produce double area.
Ar = pr2 = 900p m2
Ar = pR2 = 2Ar = 2(900p) = 1800p
Cancel p on each side of this equation to get R2 = 1800.
Therefore, R = Ö1800 = 30Ö2 » 42 m.

Method 2:
If area doubles, each linear dimension (such as radius, diameter, circumference, etc.) must increase by a factor of Ö2. Answer: 30Ö2 » 42 m.

 

T 5/3/05

HW due: Review problems on pp. 594-597 #1-4 all, 8, 10, 11, 15, 18, 21; p. 645 #9-13 all.

 

W 5/4/05

HW due: Finish any remaining review problems; also read §13.3 and write §13.3 #1-6 all, 13. If you would like to use the result of #13 to program Smokey, you can use the program to do #4.

 

Th 5/5/05

Pentagon Field Trip. Depart Senior Circle at 10:40 (end of C period); return partway through lunch. Bring photo ID and a few dollars. Normal dress code (jacket and tie) are required. Leave pocketknives, cell phones, cameras, bags, and basically anything else you can think of at home, or you may not be allowed to enter the Pentagon.

Note: The worksheet that was originally planned for non-attendees has been cancelled. Please focus on reviewing for tomorrow’s test.

 

F 5/6/05

Test on §§12.1–13.2. To help you study, here are solutions to selected Chapter 12 review problems. Chapter 13 solutions are also available.

 

M 5/9/05

HW due: §13.4 #1, 2, 4, 5, 7. This should all be review from Algebra I. However, you will probably want to read sample problems 1 and 3 to speed your review. Reading notes are optional.

 

T 5/10/05

HW due: Read §13.6 (reading notes required); write §13.5 #1, 2, 5, 9 (these are review problems from earlier in the year), §13.6 #1-5 all, 7.

 

W 5/11/05

HW due: Read §13.6 a second time; write §13.6 #8-11 all, §13.7 #3, 9-12 all.

 

Th 5/12/05

HW due: Write pp. 644-647, as many problems as you can do in your evening’s study time (35 minutes or more). Choose problems that you find interesting and useful. Check answers only after you have made a solid attempt.

In class: Pop Quiz (E period only). This was problem #11c on p. 636. A word to the wise: Make sure you can do problems like this one for tomorrow’s test!

 

F 5/13/05

Test on Chapter 13. If a problem similar to #11 on p. 639 appears on the test, you will be provided with the chord-chord power theorem formula somewhere on the test paper.

 

M 5/16/05

HW due: Read §§15.2 and 15.3 (reading notes required); write §15.2 #1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 14.

 

T 5/17/05

Field Trip to the National Cryptologic Museum, Fort Meade, MD. Depart 8:00 a.m., return to campus approx. 12:35 p.m. You will be excused from A through E period classes if you attend. If you do not attend the field trip, you must either come to F period class (12:37 to 1:27 p.m. in Room S) or complete the Coordinate Geometry Worksheet.

 

W 5/18/05

HW due for everybody: Write §15.3 #1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9.

Additional HW due for people who missed the field trip: Coordinate Geometry Worksheet. (Exception: If you attended all of F period geometry class yesterday, then you need to do only the §15.3 problems.)

 

Th 5/19/05

HW due: Work for 35 minutes or more on the review problem compendium.

In class (half period): Review for final exam.

The other half of the period will be a presentation on the early history of computers by Mr. Joe Morris, STA Class of 1962. Mr. Morris is Lead Engineer for Client Configuration Technologies and Enterprise Desktop Solutions at the MITRE Corporation in McLean, Virginia.

 

F 5/20/05

HW due: Work for another 35 minutes or more on the review problem compendium.

In class: More review.
