Dear Parents and Guardians:
As always, I want to keep you informed of what your child is learning in Algebra 2 Pre-AP.

Your child's next Algebra II Pre-AP test is on Wednesday, November 7 for Red Day and Thursday, November 8 for Gray Day.  Your child will be solving, factoring, and applying Quadratics.  It is a test that will not allow them to use a graphing calculator.  Notes and PowerPoint presentations are available online, through my website at www.dangmath.com

My tutoring times are Tuesday and Thursdays during lunch and Friday mornings at 7:15am.  No appointment is necessary.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at vdang@houstonisd.org and I will try to answer your e-mail in a prompt manner.  Thank you for encouraging your child's learning and have a great week.

Thanks,
Jim Dang

Dear Parents and Guardians:

I hope everyone is doing well.

Our next tests will cover Chapter 3.1-3.3A which covers linear equations, inequalities, linear programming and solving 3x3 systems.  This is the first to two tests that will make up one total test grade.  They will take the test on Tuesday, October 16 on Red Day and Wednesday, October 17 on Gray day.

The other test will cover matrices, determinants, and Cramer's Rule (Chapter 3.5 to 3.7).  That test is scheduled on Wednesday, October 24 on Red Day and Thursday, October 25 on Gray day.  The two test grades together will equal one total test grade.  

As a matter of information, I will not be available on Thursday, October 11 and Friday, October 12 in class.  I will not be able to answer any e-mails at that time.  I will return on Monday. In the meantime, during my absence, your child will be completing notes and working on independent practice associated with matrices.  However, when I come back, I will answer questions for them, if the need arises.  

As always, thank you for being so supportive of your child.  If you have any additional questions, please let me know.  You can definitely reach me (except for the weekend on October 11-14) at vdang@houstonisd.org .  

Thanks,
Jim Dang
