=Personal Message= Hi everyone. I hope you're having a nice weekend so far.

I need to address something to all of you that I hope you will take into serious consideration. In case you haven't heard, there is a news report (that has been confirmed to be true) that apps such as "snapchat" (and similar software) have been hacked and that over 200,000 pictures were stolen, collected, and are going to be posted publicly. I am hoping that, while communicating with technology is fun, that you all understand the lack of privacy that actually exists in these mediums. Simply put, once you click "send", you have passed on ownership of whatever you sent to whoever comes across it. Please be wary of what can happen to these messages, most notably pictures. Whether they are being shared, stolen, whatever. As a simple word of advice, you shouldn't be sending any pictures that you wouldn't want your parents to see. Don't put yourself in a position to be a victim.

=Friday, October 10= Period 1/5/7: Finish the worksheet (#1-25). Answers are at the bottom.

Period 2: Test Tuesday. Here are the answers to today's review activity. I adjusted the file to include a word-type answer to those that I'm hearing some couldn't read. Should work fine now.

=Monday, September 22= Period 1: #1-14 Period 2: Video of simplifying rational expressions Period 5, 7: Factoring quiz Tuesday (here are some tough practice problems)

=Weekend, September 20-21= Looking through people's activity on Khan Academy this week. Some of you REALLY need to start spending time practicing, whether I direct you to or not.

Here's a video on "factoring by grouping". It doesn't look exactly like I showed on Friday but it is the same concept and uses the same skills (plus it's another option to the "pocket method" for those who don't like it).

=Friday, September 19= Period 1: Complete #1-6 Period 2: Factoring Quiz Monday (here are some tough practice problems) Period 5, 7: Complete #7-14



=Thursday, September 18= Period 1: Will continue the pocket method tomorrow Period 2: #23-28 Period 5, 7: Complete #1-6

=Tuesday, September 16= Period 1, 5, 7: We will continue the factoring lesson on Thursday. Period 2: Read this about Factoring by Grouping. Here is a video example.

And don't forget, TEACH ME HOW TO FACTOR

=Monday, September 15= 1st Period will be having their quiz on Polynomial Long Division tomorrow (you're a day behind because of that assembly last week). Periods 2, 5, and 7 will be working on factoring.

Here are a couple of links to practice your skills. Factoring Quadratics 1 Factoring Quadratics 2

=Friday, September 12= Period 1: #17-20 Period 2: No HW Period 5: Study for Test Period 7: #15, 18, 19, 20

Here's a good video of Polynomial Long Division with a remainder.

=Thursday, September 11= Complete #1-4 (Only periods 2, 5, and 7)

=Tuesday, September 9= Adding/Subtracting Rational Expressions Complete #26-30

Multiplying/Dividing Rational Expressions Complete #19-22

=Monday, September 8= Finish the worksheet and check your #|answers. Keep this as a resource to look back on for future problems.
