Okay - we are still putting off trig identities in hopes of a couple of weeks where most students can be in class. If that doesn't happen, I will get the technology needed put together to record my lectures on the smartboard and we will barge ahead anyway...
For now, we are going to cover a topic that I have skipped the last few years due to a lack of time. But it is a topic that is listed in common core, is tested on the MCTM math contest in Havre, and has merit. Just due to a lack of time, I have chosen to cut it the last few years. However, polar coordinates is a topic that I think can be learned independently with some success. Remember to search for your own videos on Youtube, Partrickjmt, Kahn Academy, etc... if you struggle. Also don't forget you can actually "read" your math textbook as well -some of us have lost the ability/desire to do this.
Your first assignments are as follows:
MONDAY
Log into CK12 (using your fairfield.k12.mt.us account) to accomplish the following
** "Read" the material on Plots of Polar Coordinates
** "Watch" the video on the same material
** "Practice" on the assessment until you get 10 right
** "Read" the material on Distance Between Two Polar Points
** "Practice" on the assessment until you get 10 right
(Relevant book section: 9.1)
TUESDAY
Complete the following book assignment: page 470 #10-24 (also find the distance between the points plotted in #11,12; #13,14; #16,17; #19,20
The following pdf might be helpful to do your homework: check it out! printable graphs
WEDNESDAY
No assignment - all students gone on legislature trip
