• In Regular bases, there will be:
  • A textbook assigned topic for reading prior to each session, and after the session for studying in-depth.
  • One or a few short videos to be watched prior to class. Those videos are related to the topic as entry to the new concepts and an/or an introduction to the new concept(s).
  • There will be Homework assigned on our City Tech WebWork class site.
  • The class sessions mainly will be held on the Blackboard Collaborate Ultra with some exceptions for a few sessions that will be in zoom. Those sessions will be announced. Recordings will be released for each lesson on Blackboard Collaborate Ultra(Most of them) and/or zoom (depended on where the session will be).
Discussions
  • Discussion threads that aim to get you engaged and collaborate with each other will be posted on this course site.
  • You will be given videos to watch, articles to read, etc, and you will discuss and share your ideas and thoughts.
  • You are encouraged to create your own discussion threads for an issue, problem, idea that you want to share, or that you need your peer’s opinion about it.
  • You are strongly recommended to participate and give your contribution.
  • Please respect each other’s thoughts and opinions despite your own opinion.
  • Respect diversity as a great source to share and learn from each other and as a great chance to contribute to our pure and healthy citizenship and community

Functions and visuals

Graphing in the graphing calculator and demos online graphing

Special Assignments
Desmos online graphing calculator

We will be using TI 84 graphing calculator, but especially we will be using demos online graphing calculator and classroom activities to illustrate and demonstrate the behavior of the graph and the transformations of the graphs

Group research project

The world. Together for climate solutions!

There will be a group research project related to real-life applications of inverse functions. This project will be launched in detail in the second half of the semester.

Class Info

  • Date: Fall Semester starts on August 26, and ends on December 21, 2020.
