We started our unit on functions and equations today. We reviewed functions, function notation, evaluating functions, domain, range, and composition of functions.

Here are the marked slides from class.

Your first HW to be on a HW Quiz is Page 40 #1-9, 18, 20 and Page 45 #2.

As well, three final drafts of problem solving are due by email on Monday, September 30 at 8AM.

For Problem Solving:

There are several documents for this unit that will be helpful to us:

• The introduction and rationale for this unit.
• The flowchart explaining the process to which we will adhere.
• The problem solving rubric by which your problem write ups will be assessed.
• The calendar of important dates, and problems for this chapter, hints included.

As well, most of you received the problems you did from Chapter 1.

• Here again is a description of the assignment.
• Worked out solutions to the classwork.
• Worked out solutions to the homework.
• Worked out solutions to the HL optional problems.

Important reminders:

• Mon. 9/30, 8AM: final drafts for three problems due by email.
• Word documents may include pictures of diagrams. Make sure you still describe the process.
• Write up: four sections (PLAN, ATTACK, CHECK, REFLECT) based on the flowchart and the rubric (see links to documents above).
• If you make a CONJECTURE, make sure you try to PROVE or EXPLAIN that CONJECTURE.
