Even though this was a shorter week for us because of Veteran's Day, many things took place. Tuesday I began teaching functions to my Pre-Calculus classes. My Honors Pre-Calculus students are learning about Polynomial Functions. We hav learned to factor and graph polynomial functions. Also, we have went over long division and synthetic divsion of polynomials. With that, we have discussed the remainder theorem and the factor theorem. Next Monday, we will continue with rational zeros theorem, Descartes' Theorem, and Upper and Lower Bounds Theorem. This is a very hefty chapter filled with many significant things. After we finish the next three sections, I will then be able to implement my class project. I have planned that the students with work with a partner for this project based on polynomials and present on the Friday of that week. I believe that this project will enhance the students' learning about polynomials and apply their knowledge to real world applications. I am looking forward to the week that we work on these! Only three more weeks, and I will be finishing up my intern semester. I feel so happy that I have been able to work with great people, and that I will continue to work with them next semester for my contract hours. Almost time to graduate! (:
Doing math is like going to the gym - it's a workout for your brain and it makes you smarter.
