Hey there misfit.
Not many choose to embrace math willingly. Most students scrape by, doing just enough math to earn a grade. But not us. We’re the mis-fits.
Savor numbers, enjoy the peculiar joy that only math brings. Celebrate it. Own your MATH mis-fit status. Encourage your math class, spark curiosity, ask better questions, push understanding further.
And now for what to expect on Tuesday
It’s incredible to believe that the last time we met together was before the Math Carnival! We will start our meeting in two rooms… sophomores and seniors in 1500/1502. Freshmen and juniors in 1508/1510. We’ll start by celebrating the success of the Math Carnival and passing out some awards from NSML #2. Then we begin our efforts in the next topics.
Frosh:
Basic Statistics: May include measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode), box-and-whisker plots, two-way tables, stem and leaf, range. No variance. No standard deviation.
Soph:
Circles: Standard material. May include arcs, area, angles, power theorems, inscribed and circumscribed polygons, sectors and segments. Does not include trig nor equations of circles
Jr:
Logarithms and Exponentials: May include domain and range, graphing, logarithms with positive bases including natural and base ten logs, emphasis on properties, exponential and logarithmic growth and decay, and applications. No complex numbers.
Sr:
Vectors: (Previously called Vector Analytic Graphing) May include two dimensional vector applications, two and three dimensional vectors, equations of lines and planes in space, scalar, cross products, perpendicularity and parallels, distance between points, lines, and planes. No calculus
No contests this week, just some introductions and practice.
Then at 4:30, those that signed up for CaLiOt should meet in 1500/1502.
The Olympiad Training should start by 4:35 and end around 5:20. For the 30+ that signed up, a problem set will be emailed to you tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the topic and notation before hearing from our senior students Caden and Lillian.
One more full week before Thanksgiving break! You can do it!
See ya tomorrow
3:35 – 4:25ish
Frosh/Jr 1508-1510
Soph/Sr 1500-1502
4:35 – 5:25
CaLiOt in 1500-1502
