Week Fourteen at University High!

This has been another great week at University High School. I have been teaching, teaching, and more teaching. (: In my honors classes, we have finished up three sections of polynomial functions. We learned about the rational zeros theorem, upper and lower bounds theorem, synthetic and long division, and how to graph various polynomial functions. Yester, we played a review game of jeopardy on what we have learned about polynomial function. I divided the class in two and had them work in teams to solve problems. The classes had a lot of fun with it, yet they got a little noisy. But, it was a great review. Today, the students will be completing their quiz. In my general Pre-Calculus class, the students have begun learning concepts about the various functions. We worked through eight different parent functions and now are learning how to transform them. Today, I am having the students complete specific problems from the book that I think will help them most on their quiz when they return from break. When break is over, I will answer questions to correct any of their misunderstandings. Then Tuesday, they will take their quiz on the first four sections about functions. I am excited that this week is ending on a good note. Only two more weeks until I finish up my internship. Can't believe it!
