This week in math: Geometry students are exploring transformations in the coordinate plane. They are currently working on understanding rotations about the origin. Trigonometry/Precalculus students are solidifying their understanding of trigonometric function values. They are using reference angles to find the values of any angle. Algebra I Honors students are studying linear functions. Using function notation, they are evaluating functions. College Algebra students are readying themselves for the college class in the spring. They are studying the domain and range of piecewise functions and nonlinear functions.

Pleasants County Schools is currently experiencing issues with our outside phone lines. There is no current ETA on when this will be resolved. If the problem continues into the afternoon, we will post alternate contact numbers that can be called.

This week SMHS Forensic science students are determining the impact angle (the angle between the path of the blood drop and the surface) of blood spatter. They will drop the synthetic blood from one meter above the top surface at varying degrees, then measure the major and minor axis of the drop, and apply the equation: impact angle= sin-1(minor axis/major axis); this task will help determine the point of origin of unknown blood droplets.
