Today was our first day with NO agenda! I asked Josh if he wanted to just chat and take a break or if he wanted to learn a little bit of calculus. He opted for both! We discussed the concept of continuity and what makes a function continuous. He already had understanding of when functions are undefined, so we used that to introduce limits. We used limit notation to define continuity. We had fun coming up with a piece wise function to model the situation.
JPaul has one more test to take before he graduates. Today we reviewed for that test. We discussed reference angles, trig ratios, and the unit circle. JPaul did impressively well considering he hasn't been to class in a while. He was able to recall a lot. We practiced the problems that involved determining which quadrant we were in before setting up and solving the triangle. Those he found most challenging. However, he was able to get through and do them correctly.
This is our second session today. Matthew had a few more questions before he was ready to take the test. We reviewed and then he began. He worked diligently all period. When he finished we reviewed the problems. He got an A. It was so nice working with Matthew this year. I hope to keep in touch.

We got permission from Dr. Jordy to switch classes so he could finish his test.
Today was our last day together before Joshua takes his AP exam today. I am confident he is ready. I answered some last minute questions he had. We reviewed the formulas he is supposed to have memorized. He is capable of getting a 5. I am excited for him to take it and report back to me.
We are studying statistics from a graphing approach. Choosing the correct graph for a situation will also be discussed. We will also do an overview of the statistical process as the last topic of the course.
