AFIA HS Mathematics

I hope that everyone is doing well and has not gotten washed away with all the rain San Antonio has been getting! This week Algebra I is working on Unit 3, Relations and Functions.  We will be working on vocabulary today along with learning more about relations and functions.  On Thursday, we will be learning about how to represent functions in different ways. We will be having an assignment from IXL that will be due on Friday, S.2 and S.5. This week Geometry is working on Unit 3, Surface Area and Volume.  Last Thursday we worked on finding cross sections of 3-D figures using Playdough with dental floss to cut it. We found that most 3-D figures had multiple cross sections depending on the angle of the cut.  It was very successful and the students practiced for several minutes.  Today we will be working on surface area and Thursday we will be working on volumes. Most students learned a lot about surface area and volume in 8th grade. There will be two IXL assignments due Friday on th

Good news! Ms. Morris has joined AFIA as a math facilitator and started work this week and met all of the students.  Ms. Morris has a lot of experience in high school mathematics and will be taking over the Algebra II and Precalculus classes beginning next week.  She will also be available to help your students with mathematics when they are not in seminar. At this time Algebra I is finishing Unit 2 and will be completing a review and taking a test on Tuesday, October 16.  On Thursday, October 18, we will begin Unit 3 Functions and Relations and there will be an investigative project on Party Planning related to this unit. Unit 3 is already posted on TEAMS so the students can look at the assignments over the next 2 weeks before they start the investigation. Also, Geometry is finishing Unit 2 on Area this week and will be completing a review and taking a test on Tuesday, October 16.  I sent the students that review earlier this week in TEAMS and will also provide a copy for Tuesday.
