Welcome to Trigonometry!!  We will be using this goformative platform for the majority of assignments this term.  Let's get started with a few questions:

My preferred first name to be called is:

I will be using google voice as a means of interacting with you this term. Add this phone number as Mrs. Boyd to your contacts in your phone: 757-745-9897. Please enter YOUR cell phone in the box below: (if you do not have a cell phone number, type 'no cell phone')

Now that you've saved my cell phone number, please send me a text that says something like: "Hi, it's John Smith from your 1st block class." (be sure to include your last name!). Choose 'done' once you've sent the text. If you don't have a cell phone, choose 'no cell phone'.

I have taken and passed Algebra 2, Algebra 2/Trig, or Magnet Advanced Algebra.

I am worried about taking this class because it's been a long time since I've actually done ANY math.

During this term we will be using this tool to support both YOU--by showing your work and ME--by giving you feedback on your work. Click the show your button below. Use your chromebook pad to draw a smiley face and write your name. Then use the text tool to write a message to me about how you're feeling today...happy? sad? tired? annoyed?

Another handy feature about this platform is that you can upload pictures and documents into the Show Your Work section. There are multiple ways to do this.

My favorite way is to log into go formative on your phone's web browser...please do so now. Use the same credentials you used to creat the account in your chromebook.

You should be able to view this exact assignment that you are working on, in real time. Take a selfie or a picture of something on or around your desk (be respectful!!!) and upload it into the program that you just opened on your phone in the 'show your work' for this question.

If you're having issues, lean on your shoulder partner or type 'I need help!!' in the answer box below.

Now let's try a math problem:

Use the show your work feature below to step through this algebra problem. Be sure to start with the problem and then show each step of your work for solving. I've given you an example inside show your work. (feel free to use the text or drawing tool...as long as I can read what you wrote!)

go to: https://www.desmos.com/testing/virginia/scientific for a calculator.

When you are finished, type the correct answer in the box below (note: type only the numeric answer in the box...DO NOT INCLUDE 'x=' )--round to the tenths place or answer as an improper fraction

This time, use the embedded calculator to determine the value of:

go to: https://www.desmos.com/testing/virginia/scientific for a calculator.

When you are finished, type the correct answer in the box below (note: type only the numeric answer in the box...DO NOT INCLUDE 'x=' )

EXPRESS YOUR ANSWER AS A DECIMAL ROUNDED TO THE TEN THOUSANDTH'S PLACE. (that means 4 numbers BEYOND the decimal)

For this question, just retype the following equation into the answer block. Click the little keyboard icon on the right to choose the correct math symbol. Be sure to arrow right to 'get out' of the fraction or the square root:

DO NOT USE ANY SPACES!! For the fraction, type: 1/5. For the absolute value, use 'shift-\'. Find the square root and the infinity inside the math keyboard.
