Dr. Powers has allowed me to be on-loan from Jones so that I can work at <a href="http://harperhighschool.org/">Harper High School</a>. I will be a Lead Teacher for the <a href="http://www.chicagotapschools.org/">Teacher Advancement Program</a>, which has received national <a href="http://www.tapsystem.org/newsroom/newsroom.taf?page=features&_function=detail&id=65">recognition</a> from President Obama. I am extremely excited by this opportunity.<br /><br />I can still be reached via my CPS email. And please, check out my new <a href="http://mrmarti.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.MR.

If you only wanted the positive values, you can enter that into the calculator by typing:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Y2 = (Y1)(X>=0)(X<=4)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NOTE: </span> Type all of the parentheses. Use <span style="font-weight: bold;">VARS -> Y_VARS -> Functions -> Y1</span> to enter Y1 and <span style="font-weight: bold;">2ND -> MATH -> 4 </span>to enter >=.<br /><br />Some other cool things with the calculator...type:<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Y3 = Y2(X-2)</span><br />Note the placement of the parentheses. What happens? This is like doing <span style="font-style: italic;">f</span>(x-2) or shifting the function 2 spaces to the right.

You know you're old when you are the only one to remember Richard Dawson....<br /><br />Anyway...<br /><br />I was doing some research. I will be teaching an abridged PreCalculus class this summer. I have several questions that rattle through my head...<br />What should I teach?<br />How much of High Dive do my students remember?<br />How much of High Dive is important for my students' success in Calculus?<br /><br />I found <a href="http://math.arizona.edu/%7Edhh/NOVA/precalc.pdf">this</a> article. Here are some excerpts:<br /><br /><blockquote>"If students are to remember what they learn, the courses they take must tell a coherent story...Precalculus courses often run the risk of not being memorable because they are defined as the skills needed in calculus rather than telling a coherent story...No matter what flavor of calculus course they take, students benefit from a precalculus course that emphasizes interpretation as well as calculation...Particularly for students who are repeating material that they did not fully master before, a focus on meaning is an essential part of making the ideas fit together and finally stick."</blockquote><br /><br />Do you feel that your current Precalculus class "tells a coherent story"? Or is there more of an emphasis on the calculations? Do you think you are mastering the material?<br /><br />Additionally, since you have experienced both "traditional" and "reform" (IMP) math curriculum, how should the AP Calculus class be taught? What are the pro's and con's of continuing to use our traditional Calculus curriculum? Of switching to a reform Calculus curriculum?<br /><br /><a href="http://ed-web3.educ.msu.edu/mtp/papers/RUME.pdf">Here</a> is a research paper examining the University of Michigan's Calculus classes, which use a "reform" textbook created by Harvard University.MR.

There are some table to practice finding the second difference. Several students are incorrectly calculating the differences, which will become more important as we try to find the specific equation. Surf around the site, there is information on linear and exponential functions. <a href="http://www.learner.org/courses/learningmath/algebra/session8/part_c/index.html">Here</a> is another good page from that site.<br /><br />The first part of <a href="http://faculty.wheelock.edu/dborkovitz/content/algthink/alg13.htm">this</a> site is good as well.MR.
