Assignments and Information for the week of 1/5/09

This week we will get re-acclimated to being back at Milwood and then continue with our exploration of Quadratic Relationships in Frogs, Fleas, and Painted Cubes. Our work prior to the holiday break gave us a basic understanding of what Quadratic relationships look like. As a final piece toward that goal we will look at the parabolic graphs to see what kind of information this tool can provide us. Our next goal is to take our basic understandings and build on them. To reach that goal we will examine situations and the patterns they produce.

The marking period will quickly come to an end, please keep that in mind as assignment due dates come and go.
