8/12/24 – Number Systems Quiz
Summary: Today we answered any questions students had about Friday’s practice questions. Then we took our Number Systems Quiz (TQ-01)
After the quiz we continued to work on our isometric drawings. We tried to draw a tetromino rotated around all three axis. We also tried to recreate the two isometric solids below.
Homework: none
8/9/24 – Introduction to Graph Characteristics
Summary: Today we examined four characteristics of graphs. Specifically the intervals where the graph is…
- Increasing
- Decreasing
- Positive
- Negative
In the graph below the red interval -1<x<2 represents where the graph is decreasing (down-hill). The green intervals -∞<x<-1 and 2<x<∞ represent where the graph is increasing (uphill).
In the graph below the yellow intervals -2<x<0 and 3.2<x<∞ represent where the graph is positive (above ground). The purple intervals -∞<x<-2 and 0<x<3.2 represent where the graph is negative (below ground).
The examples above are all shown using inequality notation.
Homework: None HW01
8/9/24 – Number Systems Practice
Summary: Today we practiced to prepare for our number systems quiz. We also turned in our bellwork.

8/8/24 – More Intervals
Summary: Today we continued to practice writing intervals using the five notations that we learned about yesterday. At the end of class we took a short quiz (TQ03)
Homework: none
8/8/24 – Shortcuts with Hexadecimal
Summary: Today we learned about why hexadecimal is useful and shortcuts to convert between binary and hexadecimal.
- Byte – Typically 8 bits
- Data – Any type of information. Could be represented using words, numbers, bits or other forms.
- Overflow Error – An error that occurs when you don’t have enough room to store your data.
At the end of class we drew isometric terominos and tried to rotated them around the x, y, and z axis.
Homework: none
8/7/24 – Introduction to Intervals
Summary: Today we learned about five different ways to express intervals…
Intervals are ways to express a the range of numbers between two values. Above are examples of how to write the interval between two and five (including five).
Homework: none
8/7/24 – Introduction to Hexadecimal
Summary: Today we learned about the hexadecimal system.
- Hexadecimal – A base 16 number system. Common among computer scientists because it is easy to convert to/from Binary. The sixteen symbols are 0123456789ABCDEF, and we typical write them as hex pairs (eg: 5G A7 BB)
Homework: Fill in the blanks of this table
8/6/24 – Introduction to Binary
Summary: Today we continued working with number systems and got our first look at the base-2 number system called Binary.
- Binary – A way of representing information using only two options.
- Bit – A “Binary Digit”. The single unit of information in a computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1
Homework: Fill in this decimal -> binary table
8/6/24 – End Behaviors
Summary: Today we reviewed End Behaviors of graphs. These are the two “arms” of the graph.
In this graph example, the left arm goes up and the right arm goes down. We would write this as…
x→-∞ y→∞
x→∞ y→-∞
which translates to…
x→-∞ y→∞ (LEFT arm UP)
x→∞ y→-∞ (RIGHT arm DOWN)
We can use chart below to to describe the four directions; LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN, UP.
At the end of class we took a short quiz on End Behaviors (TQ02). Example Task (Graph Family Images Sheet).
