Week of June 1 - 5: Exploring logarithms on DesmosAim for the Week: One of the most useful functions in mathematics is logarithmic function, often called "log function" for short . Log functions are, by nature, the "inverse" of exponential functions. Before studying inverse functions, we will explore log functions on Desmos, an online graphing calculator

Week of May 18 - May 22: Circle is a special case of Ellipse?Aim for the Week: As you saw last week, circle can be placed on an xy-plane and represented by an equation of 'second' order. What happens when we 'pull' a circle horizontally? vertically? The shape that emerges is known as 'ellipse.' And like circles, these little cuties have equations unique to their shape. This week, we will explore a bit about ellipses--equations that describe every point on the perimeter, the actual perimeter (which can only be approximated, by the way), the area, and how you, my young padawan, can 'state' the equation that exactly matches (most) ellipsesMondayPeriod 1 Zoom Meeting at 10:00AM (Meeting ID: 837 008 262; Password: 817118)Discovering Ellipse: Look at Geogebra to notice the relationship between the sum of green (F1 to Point P) and red (F2 to Point P) line segments and the vertex of the ellipse.

Week of May 11 - May 15: Circle Equations (wait, circles have equations??)Aim for the Week: Let us place a circle at the origin of an xy-plane. What is the "equation" of this circle if the radius is 3 units? 5 units? r units? Now, move that circle 2 units to the right and 1 unit up. What is the "new equation" of the circle with radius = 3 units? Try it on this Geogebra link. Make sure you understand the relationship between the placement of the circle and the "displacement" values "h" and "k"

Week of April 27 - May 1: Tangent-Chord Angle ProblemsAim for the Week: Now that we have some understanding of Inscribed Angles in relation to the arc of the Central Angle, what happens when two lines cross somewhere inside the circle? Can we predict the angle measurement given the arc lengths? Can we predict one of the arc lengths given the other arc length and the angle between the two lines? These are some of the questions that need to be answered. See if you can find answers to these

Week of April 20 - 24 Inscribed Angle ProblemsAim for the Week: Place an angle inside a circle. When it is placed in the "center", what happens? What happens when you drag it out to the "edge" of the circle? Does the angle measurement change? Is it random? Is there a pattern? A relationship? These are some of the questions that need to be answered.

Why? 2) What is cyclic quadrilateral? Why is it that the two opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180 degrees?3) When you exercise the simulation below the line that says "Play with it here:", what do you see?
