We played chess.

Solve quadratic equations by factoring. Solve quadratic equations using the square root property. We also used the quadratic formula to solve equations.

We checked through the algebra review chapter to identify any areas of study that require more class time. We began chapter 1 on Linear Equations and reviewed the process for solving linear equations.

We are reviewing Algebra concepts so that Jackson will be prepared to study the concepts in College Algebra. We are looking at real numbers, algebra essentials, and geometry essential.

Overview of where Jackson is in mathematics as well as introductory conversation.

I reviewed with Matthew how to completely factor a cubic polynomial when one factor is known. We also reviewed the processes of synthetic division and substitution.
After the review, I introduced Matthew to the rational zero theorem which helps students generate possible zeros of polynomials. We did a few examples of these.
There was no assignment.

In this session, Symone and I discussed her final review before the exam. The topics we covered were logarithms, logarithmic properties, the solution of logarithmic equations, exponential equations and their solution, one-to-one functions, and inverse functions.

Symone and I worked through most of her cumulative review, concentrating on some of the more difficult aspects of the course, including logarithms, exponentials, and solving rational equations.
