Factoring Polynomials Difference of Squares
Perfect Square Trinomials are really Squares of Binomials in disguise (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² or (a-b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

If you can explain what an indpependent and dependent event is and how to find the probability of both types of compound events, bravo. If not, refresh your memory with one of these videos · 4 minute Video from Joann’s School - Dependent vs. Independent Compound events OR Compound Probability both independent and dependent events with Organic Chemistry tutor (the dependent event part is at the very end)
Week 20 February HW March 12/13
HW Checklist Handout PDF for Week 20 - get your GPO signed!
Quiz Chp 4 and possibly Chp 5 #2 second half of chp 5
Concepts: Factoring typical trinomials, factoring special cases, representing functions three ways (table, graph, equation), direct variation (what does k mean, how to write a direct variation function), arithmetic sequences (formula, common difference, finding nth term), geometric sequences (formula, finding next terms, finding common ratio)
Smart Studying
Study your multiplication tables so you are wicked fast and can stop taking multiplication quizzes.
Desmos Activities: Go back to our Desmos classroom which you bookmarked. Our classroom code is “a3yphj”
You’re going to need to do “Commuting times” at the same time as a friend. (It’s more fun if more of our class is doing it together, so exchange phone numbers or emails so you can find a time to log in together. “Parallel lines” is also more fun if you do it online together.)
Then do these activities:
“Commuting Times” - this activity helps you think about the difference between a data set and a function modeling that data set. (Think line of best fit.)
Review Slope-intercept form y=mx+b by playing this game “Marbleslide: Lines”
Review parallel lines by doing the Desmos Activity “Parallel Lines” in our Desmos classroom
