Example: I watched the YouTube video above and found out how to easily import the picture into Desmos. Then I tried different equations until I found one that fit my bottom lip as close as possible. I used this cheat sheet to help me remember the transformations (up, down, left, right, widen, or vertical stretch)

PHASE ONE
Reviewing different topics can be helpful to "dust off your math brain files". You can search for on Khan Academy or on the internet for the following and practice the following concepts:
- Exponent Rules
- Special Right Triangles (30-60-90 and 45-45-90)
- Sine, Cosine, and Tangent (SOH CAH TOA)
- Basic Probability
- Measures of Central Tendency (Mean, Median, Mode)
- Convert from Fraction, Decimal, and Percentage
- Adding and Subtracting Fractions
- Multiplying and Dividing Fractions
*Some topics may be labeled as 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th grade level concepts. This is okay. You are reviewing or relearning these mathematical topics that will be helpful for your near future.
PRACTICE SAT
Practice SAT #9 - Hard Copy Available THIS Friday March 20th at the High School from 5:30-6:30 PM
Other ideas...
NAVIANCE - Go to Naviance/Family connections to fill out scholarships and search for more. My recommendation is set a timer and see how many scholarships you can find that you can fill out over this unusual break. Try to be disciplined and set aside some time for your search
CAREERS - A large number of students leave high school having no idea what they want to do next. This is an opportunity for you to slow down and look at what your next step might be. Take your time on a few different surveys. Record the suggestions that you receive and then look into those careers to see if they interest you. Share your results with family and friends and see what people know or think about those careers. Call relatives and ask them their thoughts as well. Especially older relatives who are not able to get out much right now. They would probably love to hear from you.

READ - Read a book that interests you
WRITE A LETTER - When is the last time you received a card or letter? Right, my point! Take the time to handwrite a letter to someone is unable to get out or anyone to say hello. They will appreciate it! I promise!
SAY NO TO SOCIAL MEDIA - Limit your social media time per day (you'll thank me in the future)
