T: 10.18.11 I surprised you with another related rates quiz. It's posted below to make up if you were absent. We, or I rather, decided that we should have a random derivative formulas quiz each week so you don't forget them, so be ready. We'll start chapter 3 tomorrow, after your formula quiz...maybe =D



Th: 10.13.11 We've been working on the derivative formulas...test tomorrow...and related rates...quiz tomorrow :) Here are the answers to your homework last night.

T: 10.11.11 We started with a derivative pretest. Please study, the posttest is this Friday. We'll do 2 more practice runs this week to prepare. Here's a good website to get all the formulas you need: []. Then, we almost finished the related rate FRQ from yesterday. Please finish part d tonight. We'll continue related rates tomorrow. Most likely a quiz on those Friday as well. Happy end of the first quarter :)

M: 10.10.11 I'm back! We picked up where we left off 2 weeks ago and went over the answers to the sudoku puzzle from Friday. Then, I gave you a related rate free response question to complete for homework. It's posted below. I also plan to test you on your knowledge of derivative formulas tomorrow...be forewarned.



W: 9.21.11 I forgot to post yesterday...I've been busy trying to get things ready for my absence. We've continued working on implicit differentiation. PatrickJMT will be your teacher for the next two weeks, so I guess you can ignore the Khan Academy videos I posted in the plans below. Don't forget to help Anastasia learn limits and differentiation rules. You can skip the chapter 3 stuff I have in the plans and watch videos on limits to help her. I've posted the answers to the derivative practice packet you'll get on Tuesday next week and the answers to the chapter 2 homework is posted under Friday 9.9.11. Also, feel free to use the solutions manual while you are in the classroom. It's on the table behind my desk (against the wall). Please use the discussion page to communicate with me over the next few weeks. I'll miss you :)



M: 9.19.11 More chain rule practice, then the beginning of implicit differentiation. We'll continue that thought tomorrow. I'll also show you some videos of your new math teacher (at least for the next couple weeks).

F: 9.16.11 We practiced the chain rule... only 50% of the class was present :(



Th: 9.15.11 Quiz today over sections 2.3 and 2.4...product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule. We'll do some nasty chain rule problems tomorrow and move on to section 2.5...implicit differentiation.

W: 9.14.11 We worked on sketching graphs of derivatives today. The handouts are posted below. Quiz tomorrow over sections 2.3 and 2.4...product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule.



T: 9.13.11 Sorry I didn't post anything yesterday. They were working on the network and I was having technical difficulties. We practiced the product and quotient rule yesterday and worked on trig derivatives today. I got so excited about the next section (chain rule) that I forgot to cover higher order derivatives. We'll do that tomrrow.



F: 9.9.11 We took notes over section 2.3. We'll practice the product and quotient rule on Monday and finish the section with higher order derivatives. Today's notes are posted below along with the answers to the homework for chapter 2. Do some homework!

F: 9.2.11 We worked out your FRQ homework and started discussing derivatives. I exposed myself about being an even bigger nerd than you may have thought when I explained that I thought of the derivative while I was having car trouble. We'll start taking notes for chapter 2 next week. Please memorize the derivative formulas.



Th: 9.1.11 Completely finished the test today and worked on an AP Free Response Question for the rest of the period. Please finish the second question(s) for homework. We'll start chapter 2 tomorrow after reviewing the answers.
