Lesson Comments
Aiden was well-focused during today's session on constant percent increase and decrease conditions involving exponential functions and equations.
We practiced plotting quadratic functions in standard form with f(x) = ax2 where a>1 or 0<a<1. We learned to identify key features of the graphs of quadratic functions written in vertex form. We learned to graph functions in standard form and show intercepts, maxima, and minima. Then we learned to determine how the values of a, b, and c affect the graph of f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. Next, we compared the properties of quadratic functions presented in different forms (algebraically, in a table, and graphically).

Lesson Comments
During today's lesson on Percent of Change and Percent of an original value, Aiden initially struggled with
several basic examples due to a method that I did not recommend. Later in the class he had better success with percent word problems because he realized that the method which I taught and encouraged him to use was much more effective for him.
