Today we finished the AP PreCalc content! YAY! From here on out we will review every day. However, today's lesson we discussed rates of change in polar functions. We considered as we move around the unit circle, given the equation, what happens to the radius. Sometimes it is positive/negative, and increasing/decreasing. We were able to determine this using the polar graph, however, we realized if we drew the rectangular graph it was much easier to visualize since we could see if the graph was above or below the x axis and also if it was increasing or decreasing. Josh did well with this last concept!
Kapitel 13 - online questions 3-5 - fill in the blank vocabulary questions on news and media and computer work ie bloggen, schicken etc and grammar um zu constructions. Then watched two videos in German - one on Germans and their ideas about Canada and then the second on Germans and America. Short discussion to be continued Tuesday.
In today’s class, Joshua and I discussed Lewis structures. Specifically, we went over exactly what they are, what their purpose is, and how to correctly draw them. Then, Joshua was able to put this into practice with some examples. In these examples, Joshua is given a molecule and asked to write out both the correct Lewis structure and stick diagram.
In today’s class, we put into practice what we learned about Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases - Joshua was able to show me what he knows about how to correctly identify and explain these acids and bases in a series of reactions. He was able to show that he can additionally identify conjugate acids and bases from a traditional reaction.
Today, we went over the last quiz in Unit 4 on Ideology and Economic Policy and Joshua completed the Unit 4 Progress Check. We also looked at Unit 5 and started 5.1 on Voting rights.
Today Joshua and I discussed Polar Functions and their graphs. We talked about the names cardiod and limacon. We started with a function in rectangular form and then converted it to polar form. We were able to visualize on the graphs if the function was positive/negative or increasing/decreasing. Joshua did a great job recalling the graphs of trig functions with transformations and then relating them to the polar functions.
