September 16
intro to year and unit
set up notebooks/binders (notes, returned work, blank paper)
groups and seating (interdependence groups for the unit)
functions vs relations
functions in table form
hw - KA “recognizing functions” (concept 1)
|
17
warmup - from a table - is it a function?
function notation notes. What is a function? Function machines. how to plug into a function - what is input, output.
hw - KA understanding function notation (need to “add to dashboard” now) (concept 2)
|
19
warmup - is it a function? & evaluating some functions
QUIZ - concepts 1 & 2
graphing functions - points as (x, f(x)), tables.
hw - KA Evaluating expressions with function notation. (concept 3 - graphs of functions)
|
23
Warm up - find f(x) from graph + evaluate one
Set-builder notation as it applies to domain and range - lecture, examples, work problems from sullivan (need to make copies). Mainly, classwork should be translating into set builder notation.
HW - KA watch at least 3 videos at the bottom right of the Domain of a Function popup.
|
24
Warmup - set builder notation problems
QUIZ - concepts 1-3
using set builder notation in domain and range of functions.
hw - KA Domain of a function. (concept 4)
|
26
Warmup - domain and range in setbuilder + find function values from graph.
QUIZ - concepts 1-4
compositions of functions - examples and classwork.
hw - KA Evaluating composite functions (concept 5)
|
30
warmup - composite functions & setbuilder
QUIZ - concepts 3-5
concept - function inverses. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x/3, f(x) = x^2, g(x) = x^(1/2), etc.
practical - if f(x) = 2x - 1, then switch the names and x = 2f(x) -1; solve for f(x) to get inverse.
hw - KA inverses of functions (concept 6)
|
October 1
warmup - find some inverses
QUIZ concepts 4-6
concept 7 - Even and Odd functions
HW - SULLIVAN identify even, odd functions. (concept 7)
|
3
warmup - identify functions as even or odd & domain and range in setbuilder.
QUIZ concepts 5-7
concept 8 - linear equations in function notation.
practical - word problems & linear vs nonlinear in graphs, tables and equations.
HW - KA linear and nonlinear functions (concept 8)
|
7
warmup - linear or nonlinear and composite functions
QUIZ concepts 6-8
concept 9 - Rates of Change - slope as rate of change and comparing them
hw - KA comparing linear functions & KA comparing linear functions applications
|
8
warmup - linear functions rate of change comparison & even or odd functions
QUIZ concepts 7-9
concept 10 - solving radical equations - substitution if they need it.
hw - KA radical equations
|
10
warmup - solving radical equations & linear/nonlinear equations
QUIZ concepts 8-10
concept 11 - Isolating a variable -
hw - KA Solving equations in terms of a variable

9/28/15 Monday Check in: Friday class & Homework Classwork: As long as we’re talking climate change... If someone tells you they don’t believe humans are causing it, you might want to ask them if smoking is bad for you. Why? There is as much evidence that humans are causing global warming as there is evidence that smoking causes cancer (you don’t have to click that link, I just like to put it up). Anyway, here’s a chart: It is entitled “Breakdown of the anthropic greenhouse gas emissions by gas, in billion tons carbon equivalent, in 2004” - it is a breakdown of the greenhouse gases emitted in 2004 that humans are responsible for. What’s the biggest greenhouse gas? What’s all that CO2 doing, and where does it go? A lot of it goes into the ocean, which seems better than the air, and it is... up to a point. The more CO2 in the ocean, the more acidic it gets (And the more acidic it gets, the lower its ph gets). That is fine... until it’s not. At some...
