Three quarters down, one to go. The year is continuing to fly by, and what a blessing it has been! The students are completing a couple of elearning days to make up for missed school. The content covered on those days reflects concepts that are beneficial to them due to their current studies. Let's take a look at what they did on their first elearning day.

Calculus - A question came up regarding how to find the coordinates of centroid on a graph. In some situations, the equations aren't that straight forward. The first elearning challenged the calculus class to figure out why the equations were different.

Pre-Calculus - We just completed a chapter on conic sections. We did a lot of graphing, finding the standard form of an equation of a conic, and then using the different properties of each conic section to find different parts of the conic section. The first elearning day asked them to graph a couple of different conic sections and then discuss why they looked different based on certain properties.

Algebra 2 - They have been doing a lot with quadratic equations. So they were asked to graph these quadratic equations using the intercepts and finding the vertex.

Algebra 1 - We reviewed operations on signed numbers and how to use boxes to factor quadratics.

Algebra 1/2 - On their first elearning day, they were asked to simplify an expression by combining like terms.

Math 7 - They simply reviewed the four operations with signed numbers as their assignment.

I think the students will be able to look at these elearning days and be glad they had them. I'm sure it will be a refreshing break from the "normal" school day.
