Thought for the Week

STEM Opportunity

What: Tech Savvy 2022 is a one-day conference for girls in grades 6 to 9 and their parent(s), designed to inspire and encourage them in STEM fields. Registration is also open to interested boys. The students who attend Tech Savvy will experience exciting hands-on activities led by professional women in STEM fields. There will be a program for adults to learn more about working in the STEM fields, encouraging their children in STEM, and helping them to prepare for college or technical school. 

When: Saturday, April 30, 2022, 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. 

Where: On the UW-Whitewater campus in various science and technology labs. 

Tech Savvy is jointly organized by the AAUW (American Association of University Women) Fort Atkinson and Janesville branches and UW-Whitewater Office of Continuing Education.

Continuing On with Unit 9: Circles

When we return from spring break, we will have lots to investigate with circles!  Monday's class will be devoted to "Inscribed Angles".  We will then talk about angles formed by chords, secants, and tangents, followed by how to calculate the lengths of segments.  We will end the week with a formative check-in and talk about how we can construct tangents using geometric construction tools.

Spring Break Spirit Week!  

Join the fun as we count down the days until our break!

Unit 9: Circles

This week, we will begin our ninth unit of the year on circles.  This week's focus will be on how to write the equation for a circle and how to solve for missing measurements in a circle using based on the properties of arcs, chords, and tangents.  We will end the week with a formative assessment to make sure that we have a firm grasp of these basic concepts before we go into spring break.

Schedule for the Week - ACT for Juniors on Tuesday

Wrapping Up Unit 8: Triangles and Trigonometry

This week, students will wrap up their study of triangles and trigonometry.  On Monday, students will complete a short formative assessment and take some time to learn about how to apply our Law of Sines and Law of Cosines to real-world situations.  On Thursday, we will review, and on Friday students will complete the lesson 8 summative assessment.  Students who need extra help or have questions are encouraged to come in before school and/or during JIT Monday-Thursday.
