    Watched our Calc Videos
    They were pretty funny. Ours was embarrassing because someone yelled something about someones mom in the cafeteria and it came up on our video. I liked the video with doug falling off the bike.....kinda like this guy.
  • Review Day!

    Review Day!
    Today we had a quick test of our knowledge of our KYSC sheets. afterwards we went over a couple other review topics. We ended class with doing some problems on the board with partners. Good stuff.
  • Red Pen Day and review

    Red Pen Day and review
    Well we colleceted homeworks today. I hope its not a bad thing becasue I think i did one assignement wrong. I guess you'll see it if it is completely wrong. I just wrote the type of graph the range of theta and sketched the grapgh for one assignement but I have a feeling I was supposed to do more. woops. Any way after we checked homework we reviewed some stuff about exponential functions logrithmic functions and we got our take home test thats due next week/the week after spring break.
  • Partner Class Work

    Partner Class Work
    Today we did partner class works (3 AP problems). My partner was Kayla. I think we both had the hardest time with the taylor series so I am definately going to look up that section of the book to get a refresher. Also we have this large packet that I am doing for homework which is really helping me decide what to study.
  • More Partner Classwork

    More Partner Classwork
    todays partner classwork went pretty well I think. I think maybe I could use a little more practice with related rates. i tend to do way too much and I'm worried that I might waste unnecessary time. But overall I think I felt better with todays free responces than yesterday's.
  • Review

    Review
    Today we had a shortened class but we reviewed some more for the Big Big Game. I'm feeling more and more ready by the day.
  • First Day Back

    First Day Back
    We reviewed the series tests such as ratio test and limit comparison test (possibly my two favorite). I am just going to review all of them with the newly handed out version of the test worksheet.
  • Review for the Big Game

    Review for the Big Game
    We got back our practice test parts. I did ok I think. I did have some problems with the second free responce problem. However i think it is a correctable problem. The other free responces went very well though.
  • Substitue and Classwork

    Substitue and Classwork
    Today we did graded classwork. At first I was a little foggy with finding the IOC's and Radii of convergence but i started to pick back up on it. I finished the classwork with some time to spare so I think it was a good day.
  • Review (Disk and Shell)

    Review (Disk and Shell)
    Today we reviewed the disk and shell methods of finding a volume when an area is rotated about a line. We Then reviewed how to find the volume of an area with perpendicular cross sections of various shapes.
  • PreGame Stretch

    PreGame Stretch
    We recieved our uniforms and took a good lap around the field as we prepared for the big game tomorrow.
  • Big Game!!

    Big Game!!
    Today was it. The Big Game. I was very pleased with most of the test. I was alot less pressed for time than i thought i would be. Also on the free responces i think I was very successful about picking up points if i didnt completely understand the problem.
