This is our first lesson for Algebra 2. Students got their textbooks.<\/p>\n
Today We study parabolas, with its relationship to quadratic functions.<\/p>\n
Three parents came to the class, with two stayed through the class. I welcome the input from the students and the parents.<\/p>\n
Parents: please talk to your kid to get his feedback. Examine your kid’s notebook to see how much exercise he\/she did in the class.<\/p>\n
We started with talking about the geometric definition of a parabola, its basic properties and how to find the function based on the information about vertex, focus, directrix, etc. We did this by looking at a number of problems. Students then got time to work on some problems. We then talked about those problems and solved them in the class.<\/p>\n
After the break, we looked at using parabola to solve problems. Again, we looked a few problems before the students worked on a few more. We then talked about those.<\/p>\n
Lastly we looked at one of the major applications of parabola: finding the minimum and maximum values of quadratic functions. Again, we studied a few examples, having students work on a few more. We finished after going over those problems again.<\/p>\n
This is a pretty fast paced class and I want to make sure that students feel OK. As I told students, they should have notebooks with them, not just note pad. They should get into a habit of taking notes in the class.<\/p>\n
Again, please provide your feedback.<\/p>\n
