The Geometry class has just completed a chapter on similar triangles. They have learned how to apply the AA~Postulate, the SSS~Theorem, and the SAS~ Theorem to prove triangles similar. Additionally, they studied applications of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem and its Converse, and Dilation transformations.
The Algebra 2 classes have just completed a unit on rational algebraic expressions and equations. They have learned how to operate with algebraic fractions, simplify complex fractions, divide polynomials by using long division and synthetic division, solve rational equations and formulas, and solve problems involving direct and inverse variation.
The Algebra 1 class has just completed a chapter on linear equations and graphs. They have learned how to identify solutions to equations; graph linear equations using tables, x and y-intercepts, and slope and y-intercept; write equations of lines given the slope and a point or given two points; make predictions for real-life situations by using a linear model; and determine whether lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes.
All classes are moving ahead to new units. The Geometry class will study Polygons and Area, the Algebra 2 classes will learn Powers, Roots, and Complex Numbers, and The Algebra 1 class will study Systems of Linear Equations.
