polynomial long division, synthetic division, and factoring
Lesson Outline
I guided Samantha through a review of polynomial factoring, long division, and synthetic division. I showed her additional methods of factoring polynomials, including factoring out the greatest common factor and factoring by grouping. I also showed Sam how certain factors had multiplicities other than 1 and how the Remainder Theorem yields the polynomial evaluation at any given constant value. There was no assignment.

Lesson Comments
Although Samantha has missed a lot of school days, she made a lot of progress today.
Yogic pranayama (breathwork) was guided and then a deep meditation was facilitated using quartz bowls and a Siberian drum to enhance the experience and entrain the brain waves to the appropriate frequencies required for deeper states of meditation.
The physics and the various interconnections of yoga, Kabbalah, biology, and light dynamics was explained. The connections between light, rotating magnetic and electric fields, and the double helix structure of DNA was compared to some symbols, ideas and concepts found in ancient science and philosophy.
The corrected homework was checked and the material reviewed. Since today was the full moon, an introduction to celestial mechanics was given with an explanation of the physics involved with a full moon and other unusual phenomenon such as the Venus cycle and the inferior conjunction. The geometries of these celestial mechanics of planetary bodies were compared to the geometries of cymatics and the physics of sound as well as wavefunctions of atomic orbitals.
The practice test was checked and some of the material that was wrong was corrected. The appropriate solutions were demonstrated, with an emphasis on different exponent rules and simplifying like terms.
The homework was checked and further instruction was given to help with some of the material. A review was given with an explanation of the difference between classical physics, quantum mechanics and some of the implications and underlying philosophy.
