AP Count Down

AP Calculus Students there are 260 days until the AP exam on May 9th.

What have you done today to get ready for the first day of school?

Is your packet done?

Do you have any questions?

Don't forget that you needed a B average to get into AP Calculus. Check your report card.

Rest up for this up coming year, it will be a lot of work.

Less Than a Month

You have less than a month before school starts.

Have you worked on your packets?

Any questions, please ask.

Lines Continued

The other day I asked questions about lines. These are a few more questions.

• How do you know when lines are parallel?


• How do you know when lines are perpendicular?


• How do you write an equation of a line perpendicular to a point?


• How do you write an equation of a perpendicular bisector to a segment?

PreCalc and Calc students

There is a term in mathematics called the "normal line". See if you can find out what it means.

Have a great day.

Lines

Do you remember how to find the slope of a line?

In Calc AB you will be spending a great deal of time finding slopes of lines in a new way.

Things about lines you should know:

• slope formula


• slope intercept form of a line


• writing the equation of a line using 2 points


• standard form of a line


• point-slope form of a line

Have a nice day.

36 Days Until the First Day of School

Have you started your summer packet?

Have you even picked it up from the school website?

I know that the quality of the PreCalc Honors is not that great. If you can't read it you can email me and I can send you some originals.

How is your factoring coming? Do you remember how to factor the difference of two squares?

If you have take Alg 2 do you remember how to factor the sum or difference of two cubes?

Let's get busy.

287 and Counting

6 weeks left until the first day of school.

287 days until you take your AP Calc exam

Have you started your summer packet?

BC packet went up this morning.

I hope you have been having a great vacation. I have been painting the house with my husband but it won't be done until the middle of Aug.

It has been nice to see some of you over the last couple of weeks. I was pretty happy with the AP scores from this past May. I know some of you are very happy and some of you did not get the score you wanted in AB. Let's see what happens this year.

Keep working on your packets. Any questions, please post them or email them to me.
