The schedule up to February Break
2/05 Post-Quiz HW Brown p.338/41 and p.357-358/25-28,31,32,36,41

2/12 Finish Basic Trig Identities CW p.431/57, 59, 67, 69-72
2/13 - 2/21 February Break!
Mixed Application Problems
Here are some problems that will help you study for your quiz:
(All Brown book)
p.337-338/31-33, 37
p.356-358/11, 14, 18, 21, 24, 25, 29, 34
Note: for problem 29 it refers you to formulas that you have yet to prove. Try to figure out the length of the median/angle bisector/altitude using what you know about geometry and trigonometry rather than trying to understand and memorize formulas. Remember, if you have the length of three parts to the triangle (some combo of sides and angles, or all sides), you can "solve" the triangle (eg. find the rest of the sides and angles using the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines) and then apply what you know about medians (cut the opposite side in half), angle bisectors (cut the angle in half) and altitudes (make a right angle).
Important Laws
We are starting the week with the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines.
Day 1: Law of Sines HW Brown p.347-349/1-27 odd
Day 2: Law of Cosines HW Brown p.352-354/1-17 odd, 22
We will also be going over the last quiz on Wednesday.

Moving the retest
Given the advocacy (ok, it was really whining but I am being nice about it) the retest will move to Wednesday, after all of the AP History drama is done. The rest of the schedule moves up a day.
More with Trig Functions and Sinusoids
We are continuing our study of trigonometric functions, bringing in the periodic nature of the functions (sinusoids and their applications) and looking at the other trig functions that we have been ignoring a bit. The last week listed is just a plan at this point.

Starting Trig
Regardless of whether remediation is needed for the exponential and log unit (given the groaning about the test), we will be starting trigonometry. If, after I have looked over the tests, we need to backtrack, that will happen after we have done the following:
