Week of February 18, 2013

This week we are wrapping up our unit on building functions, which included:

• Arithmetic & Geometric Sequences and Series
• Transformations of Functions
• Operations on Functions & Inverses

The students will be engaged in a 3-day Performance Assessment which will require them to complete several tasks that will demonstrate their understanding of the concepts we have learned.  They will be able to choose from different options for each task, which involve procedural knowledge as well as applications in context.  Students will be assessed based on a rubric, and will have an opportunity to improve their ratings if they are not satisfied with the final score.


Also, remember that tutoring is available Tuesdays/Thursdays for any student who needs extra help or needs to retake any quizzes.  The grading period will end on March 7, 2013, so please do not wait until the last minute to try to improve your grade!
