Did you lose your formula sheet?
Thursday June 6: Chapter 11 Test. This will be the last update. Only exam review work time from now on.
Wednesday June 5: We did our final lesson for the course, reviewing grade 11 absolute value graphing in the context of this year's transformational graphing approach. We did these examples together. then we had work time for the reviews from yesterday to prepare for tomorrow's test.
Tuesday June 4: Work period. Your decision on which outcomes you want to re-assess on June 13th is due today. I handed out a Chapter 11 review/practice quiz (here is a key). First, make sure you finish the Chapter 11 Exercise booklet. I handed out copies of 2 practice provincial exams today. You can download more practice exams EXAMS (and their marking guides) here.
Monday June 3: we went through a couple of examples together from the textbook review on pages 546-548. Then we had some work time to finish the rest of the Chapter 11 Exercise booklet. If anyone is finished the booklet, you can work on the textbook review pages. I'll have more review for you tomorrow (I hope). The test is Thursday. I also handed out each student's current grade in the course and asked them to select which outcomes they might want to re-assess on the June 13th optional re-test day. I need that decision BY TOMORROW or I will assume you don't want to re-assess anything.
Friday May 31: we finished up part 2 of Lesson 11.3 on the Binomial Theorem in the Chapter 11: Permutations, Combinations and the Binomial Theorem booklet. Then we had work time for the two 11.3 worksheets in the Chapter 11 Exercise booklet. If you want more practice on this topic, go to textbook page 542 #1-4, 5c,6c,7-12,15,18,19,C2.
Thursday May 30: we briefly went over the rest of the Combinations lesson (11.2 - page 17 in the Chapter 11: Permutations, Combinations and the Binomial Theorem booklet which is definitely not on our test and likely not on the exam. Then we started lesson 11.3: the Binomial Theorem. We made it up to page 20 before calling it a day. You can do the 11.3 Part 1 worksheet in the Chapter 11 Exercise booklet tonight, but you will have some work time tomorrow after I go through part 2.
Wednesday May 29: we did most of lesson 11.2 today, in the Chapter 11: Permutations, Combinations and the Binomial Theorem booklet, which introduces Combinations. We are now up to page 16. Lots of people away - you need to make sure that you are keeping up with the video lesson from the chapter 11 playlist. We have already covered the first 9 of those videos! Tonight's homework is to try the 11.2 worksheet in the Chapter 11 Exercise booklet (you have to skip number 8 until tomorrow).
Tuesday May 28: we continued through lessons 11.1 in the Chapter 11: Permutations, Combinations and the Binomial Theorem booklet. Getting up to the end of page 13. You can now do the 11.1 worksheet in the Chapter 11 Exercise booklet for tomorrow.
Monday May 27: we started Chapter 11: Permutations, Combinations and the Binomial Theorem today. We did the lessons and examples up to page 6. I handed out the Chapter 11 Exercise booklet today, but we haven't quite made it to the point where we can do the first worksheet. Until then you can do textbook page 524 #1-4,6,7,22,24,C3. STUDENTS WHO MISSED CLASS FOR THE ELA EXAM: you are responsible for getting this lesson on your own. The lesson is broken into videos: Counting Principle, Factorials, Permutations make sure you have reviewed these and completed the notes - tomorrow's lesson will not make much sense to you without it!
Friday May 24: CHAPTER 9 & 10 TEST: RATIONAL FUNCTIONS (R14) and OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS (R1)
Thursday May 23: I handed out another Chapter 10 Review (here is an answer key) and we had work time to prepare for tomorrow's test. THERE IS A MISTAKE ON THE 10.3 ASSIGNMENT ANSWER KEY: #8c should be x^4+2x^3-x and 8d should be x^4-2x^3+2x^2-x
Wednesday May 22: I handed back the Exponents and Logs test and went over a few questions, then we went over a few problems together from 10.2 and 10.3 Assignment worksheets in the Chapter 10 Exercises booklet. To prepare for Friday's test, make sure that you have done the worksheet with Extra Practice for 9.2 (here is the answer key), the review at the end of the Chapter 9: Rational Functions Notebook, and finally the Chapter 10 (R1) Mini-review that I handed out today.
Tuesday May 21: we did a couple of questions from the 10.1 assignment sheet and a couple from the Chapter 9 assignment booklet. Then we did Lesson 10.3 in the Chapter 10: Function Operations booklet .. Students who were away should make sure that they watch the lessons here and here. You can now do the 10.2 and 10.3 worksheets in the Chapter 10 Exercises booklet.
Friday May 17: we finished up the Chapter 9: Rational Functions Notebook. The part of the lesson that was weird graphs (graphing rational equations with asymetrical curves and/or diagonal asymptotes), rest assured, will NOT be on next week's test OR the provincial exam. It IS possible that you might have to match an equation to a graph, or be able to tell when the graph of an equation will be weird. So now you can do all of 9.3 Assignment in the Chapter 9 Assignment Booklet and the the Chapter 9 review assignment at the end of the notes booklet. Then we started into Lessons 10.1 and 10.2 in the new Chapter 10: Function Operations booklet . Your new assignment is the 10.1 worksheet in the Chapter 10 Exercises booklet.
Thursday May 16: we went through pages 15-21 in the Chapter 9: Rational Functions Notebook, which takes us through section 9.2 and all the way to the end of section 9.3. You can now do the 9.2 and 9.3 worksheets in the Chapter 9 Assignment Booklet and the worksheet with Extra Practice for 9.2. If you are absent or want to see the lessons again, make sure that you are keeping up with the videos for this chapter. If you want more 9.1 practice, you can do TEXTBOOK page 442 #1-3,5-6,7,9,11,13,C1,C3,17,18. If you want more 9.2 practice, you can do textbook page 451 #2-10 (omit 8b),18,C1. More 9.3 practice on page 465 #1-4 (omit 3a, 4a, 4c), C1, C2, C3
Wednesday May 15: we went back to finish the other part of section 9.1, so we went through pages 7 and 11-14 in the Chapter 9: Rational Functions Notebook. If you have not already done so, do the rest of the examples on pages 8-10 and the 9.1 worksheet in the Chapter 9 Assignment Booklet. I handed out EXAM REVIEW PACKAGEs today.

Alternatively, you can work on reviewing the chapter 2 and 3 material - see Friday's update.
Friday April 5: we started out by going over a couple of questions from pages 14-16 together, then we did examples on pages 19-21 of the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet. Your new assignment is pages 21, 22 (here is a page 22 key), 29 and 31 in the booklet. That takes us to the end of the unit! We will do some review next week, then test it this coming Thursday. People were asking if I had any extra review for this coming Wednesday's retest on R11, R12, and R13 (Chapters 2 and 3). Here is what I've got: this is the AM version of the test (here is the key), and this is the PM version of the test (here is the key). You can correct your test then use whichever version you haven't already written as a practice test. Beyond that, there are the practice tests on pages 102 and 155 of your textbook. If anyone wants to start reviewing for Thursday's test on the current unit, I handed out a T4 Review (here is an answer key), and a review booklet of extra sinusoidal problems.
Thursday April 4: we had some time to work on the following pages in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet: pages 14-16 (here is the key), pages 23,25,27. Then we did the "tough" example d on page 14 together, and the first two examples for chapter 5.4 on pages 17-18.
Wednesday April 3: I went through the rest of the 5.2 examples on pages 13-14 in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet and had students work on pages 14-16 (here is the key). You can now do the page 27 (5.2)worksheet. You should be done pages 23,25, and 27 for Friday. You will get some class work time tomorrow. Again, if you want another look at the lesson, watch the videos .
Tuesday April 2: We started with a couple of videos again: Generating Sine curve from simple harmonic motion: ferris wheel, cgi spring, spray paint on a spring, newtonian pendulum (number 1, number 2, number 3). Then I used Desmos to do two examples that are not in the booklet of y = sinx +2 and y = cos(x-pi). Then we started the first part of lesson 5.2 in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet. This is a very technical lesson, with a lot of minor details that need to be done just right to achieve the skill of being able to graph sinusoidals. I highly recommend you refer to the lesson videos when you try sketching these graphs yourself in the assignment on page 25 of the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet. You should be finished the page 23 assignment first. If you finish page 25, do textbook Page 250 #1,2,3.
Monday April 1: we started by looking at some video animations: Generating Sine Curves from the unit circle (version 1 and version 2), Generating the Sine curve from a triangle, Generating Cosine curve from a triangle and my favourite, the interactice unit circle. Then we did the lesson for 5.3, pages 6 and 7 in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet. Tonight, you can make sure that you are done the textbook page 233 #1-11,14,15 assignment from the Friday before break. You can also do Page 262 #2,3,8, C1. and the 5.1 and 5.3 Assignment on page 23 of the booklet. I also encourage you to play with the last three animations I listed above. They're fun!

Monday March 11: I handed back the Chapter 2 and 3 test from last week and we went over a couple of sore spots. There will be an OPTIONAL re-test on these outcomes after spring break. Then we went over a couple of questions from the Grade 11 Trig Review Worksheet together. Then we went back to page 18 of the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet, to refresh our memories on the trig ratios that we should know without our calculator. Here is the video of that part of the lesson if you want to see it again. Then we made a unit circle together on pages 15 and 16, and used it to solve page 17 together (here is the key). The homework for tonight is to finish the 4.1 and 4.2 assignments on page 28 of the booklet. and do YOUR OWN unit circle on page 19 of the booklet and use it to solve the examples at the bottom of the page (here is the key). Once you have tried this - CHECK TO MAKE SURE IT IS CORRECT on page 20 of the booklet. Today's lesson was covered by the video linked above and by this one that I linked to on Friday.
Thursday March 7: R11, R12, R13 (Chapters 2 & 3) TEST today. If you finish early, work on Grade 11 Trig Review Worksheet (this file has the answer key at the end) - which you should be done for Monday. See the links from Tuesday if you need some support with this material. You could also work on the 4.1 assignment on page 28 of the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet, which will get officially assigned tomorrow.
Wednesday March 6: review class. We did a couple of power point activities: one for Chapter 2 and the other for Chapter 3. You should make sure that you are done the R11, R12 (Chapter 3) Review (the file has it's own key at the end) and the review on the last 4 pages of the Chapter 2 Radical Functions booklet. If you are done those and you are looking for more practice, the textbook has a Chapter 2 review on pages 99-103 and Chapter 3 review is on pages 153-156.
Tuesday March 5: We started the next unit today. I handed out a Grade 11 Trig Review Worksheet (this file has the answer key at the end). It to be worked on after the test on Thursday and is due Monday. I highly recommend that when you get stuck on old material, you go back to the grade 11 lessons video page and review Chapter 2: Trigonometry. I also handed out the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet and went over lesson 4.1 (you can re-watch the lesson in 2 parts: part 1 and part 2 and part 3). If you find the Grade 11 review quick and want to work ahead, you can start on the 4.1 assignment on page 28 of the booklet, but I won't officially assign it until Friday.
Monday March 4: we went through the 4 examples of the 3.4 Applications chapter in the Chapter 3: Polynomials Booklet, which brings us to the end of the chapter. We test Thursday, so I handed out an R11, R12 (Chapter 3) Review (the file has it's own key at the end). For the R13 (Chapter 2) outcome, you should do the review on the last 4 pages of the Chapter 2 Radical Functions booklet. If you are looking for more review to get ready for the test, the textbook has a Chapter 2 review on pages 99-103 and Chapter 3 review is on pages 153-156.
Friday March 1: we had time in class to work on pages 22 and 23 of the Chapter 3: Polynomials Booklet then we went over it together (answer key for pages 22-23 - or feel free to check your answers with DESMOS). Speaking of answer keys, page 11's assignment has two omissions on the answer key: for question #2b, there is a remainder of -12 and for question #2c, there is a remainder of 12 and there is a typo, #7c the factor should be x +4, also here is the page 17 assignment answer key For Monday, make sure you are done the Sketching Polynomial Functions on page 24 of the booklet. If you want to start getting ready for next Thursday's test, I handed out a Chapter 2.1 mental math activity that you can use as a little introductory review (the file linked here has an answer key after the blank page). You could also do the review at the end of the the Radical Functions booklet. If you want more Chapter 2 practice, you could do questions from pages 99-103 of your textbook, Similarly, if you want to start reviewing Chapter 3, you can work on the review at the end of the booklet, or pages 153-155 of the textbook.
Thursday Feb 28: we went through Lesson 3.4, sketching polynomial functions and multiplicities on pages 18-21 of the Chapter 3: Polynomials Booklet. Your new assignment is the Sketching Polynomial Functions on page 24 of the booklet. Tomorrow will be work time for pages 22 and 23 of the booklet. If you want to try them tonight, go ahead - you can always check your sketches using DESMOS. If you want extra practice, try the textbook assignment at the bottom of page 21. You can rewatch the lesson here, here, and here.
Wednesday Feb 27: we went over the "You Try" problems on page 3 of the Chapter 3: Polynomials Booklet , then we looked at characteristics of polynomial functions (video lesson here) and went over the matching problem on page 5. Then we did the application examples on page 6 and the factor theorem (video lesson here) and integral zeros theorem (video here) taking us to the end of lesson 3.3 on pages 13-16. You can now finish the page 11 worksheet and do the worksheet on page 17.
Tuesday Feb 26: we went though Lesson 3.2 (video lesson here and here) and most of Lesson 3.1 (video lesson here) in the new Chapter 3: Polynomials Booklet (pages 2,3,7-10). For tonight, do the "You Try" questions on page 3, Read page 4, do the matching problem on page 5 and then do #1-4 on the Page 11 worksheet.
Monday Feb 25: we did the Chapter 1 optional re-test today. Students who did not want to do that re-test worked on the 2.3 worksheet on page 21 of the Radical Functions booklet. If you are finished that, you can work on the review at the end of the booklet, or any of the textbook assignments for chapter 2 (you can find them on the bottom of pages 5, 11, 20 of the booklet). Reminder that if you are doing textbook problems, see above for the solutions.
Friday Feb 22: RATS! I COMPLETELY forgot about the Pep rally being in period 2 today. NEW PLAN: we'll do the re-test and/or have work time for he 2.3 worksheet on Monday, and if we have some time after the pep rally, we'll start on Chapter 3: Polynomials.
Thursday Feb 21: we did the 2.3 lesson in the Radical Functions booklet. Your homework for Monday is the 2.3 worksheet on page 21 of the booklet. Tomorrow is the chapter 1 re-test and/or work time for today's assignment.
Wednesday Feb 20: we went over the questions on page 14 of the Radical Functions booklet together. Then we did a couple of questions from the 2.1 and 2.2 worksheets and went over some problems on the last test that I handed back yesterday. Your assignment is to finish the 2.1 and 2.2 Worksheets (pages 7 and 15) of the booklet.

Thursday Oct 25: we had a review period where we did the "Harder Equations C" page of the Flamingo Math Booklet (answer key is at the back of the file). We also went over some 4.4 and 4.2 assignment questions that some folks had. Reminder that there is a Chapter 4 Practice Test that you can do (here are the CORRECTED solutions - thanks to Sara). If you want more practice, so more from the Flamingo booklet or the practice test on page 218 of the textbook.
Wednesday Oct 24: we did the last part of lesson 4.4 on general solutions to trig equations, finishing the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet. You can now do all of the 4.4 assignment, the Exercise 4: Solving Trigonometric Equations on a Specified Interval worksheet, and (just handed out today) a Chapter 4 Practice Test (here are the solutions). For extra practice there is the quizzes in the Flamingo Math Booklet and the textbook, specifically the practice test on page 218.
Tuesday Oct 23: We went over a few questions people had with he 4.3 section of the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet. Then we did the first part lesson for 4.4 (up to page 25). You can now do all 4.4 questions except the ones where the domain is infinite - we'll do the second part of the 4.4 lesson tomorrow to get you ready for those. The 4.4 questions in the booklet (page 30) is not enough practice for this stuff, so I handed out a worksheet called Exercise 4: Solving Trigonometric Equations on a Specified Interval. If you want even more practice than that there are the textbook assignments at the end of each lesson (and solutions at the above link) and some practice quizzes in the Flamingo Math Booklet - the answer key is at the end of the file.
Monday Oct 22: we finished up the examples of section 4.3 of the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet. and we went over some problems people had with the 4.1 and 4.2 problems on page 28.

Reminder that if you are looking for more practice, there are the textbook assignments at the end of each lesson (and solutions at the above link) and some practice quizzes in the Flamingo Math Booklet - the answer key is at the end of the file.
Thursday Oct 18: work period for the 4.1-4.3 questions that start on page 28 of the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet. For extra practice, my guest teacher will hand out a booklet of questions labelled "homework quiz" from a company called Flamingo Math. We'll call it the Flamingo Math Booklet - the link here has an answer key for each page at the end of the file.
Wednesday Oct 17: we went through the 4.3 lesson in the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet, pages 15-21. We will finish the rest of the examples on Monday, but if you hit questions in the 4.3 assignment that I haven't done examples for yet, don't forget that you can get a hint from the video lessons here and here. Tomorrow will be a work period for the 4.1-4.3 questions that start on page 28 of the booklet. I will also have some extra practice for you then, but remember that if you are ever looking for more practice, there are the textbook assignments at the end of each lesson and there are full solutions in the link at the top of this page.
Tuesday Oct 16: We went over more from the Grade 11 Trig Review Worksheet . Then we transitioned into more of the grade 12, 4.2 chapter on the unit circle (in radians).

Thursday Sept 27: I went over a couple of 2.3 problems that people were stuck on and did another example of an algebraic and graphing solution of a radical equation. Then I handed out pages 7-10 of our next booklet, Chapter 3: Polynomials. I had to copy a couple of pages to get us started because the booklets I ordered from the copying department are late - grrrr! Oh well, when I give you the actual booklets next week we can tear out those pages - they'll already be done. There's no assignment for that section, since we already have the 2.3 worksheet on page 21 of the Rational Functions booklet to finish for tomorrow.
Wednesday Sept 26: we went over some problems people had with the 2.2 worksheet on page 15. Then we did a couple more 2.3 examples together. You can now work on the 2.3 worksheet on page 21 of the Rational Functions booklet. If you finish that, you can start reviewing for Monday's test. For Chapter 3 review, you can do Pages 23-26 of the booklet, then textbook pages 99-103.

Then we did the first two examples of 5.4 on pages 17 and 18 and the first example from the second section of 5.2 on page 12. Sorry for the scatter, but I am hopefully creating the impression that all of these concepts are really the same topic and they shouldn't be looked at as separate "chapters". I'll finish off the 5.2 and 5.4 examples tomorrow. For tonight, hopefully you have finished the page 23 assignment and are ready to do the page 25 assignment. If it goes well, you can start on the page 27 assignment, but keep in mind I haven't shown you all of the examples of those types of problems yet. As always, if you are looking for more practice, try the textbook questions or the Graphing, More Graphing, and Still More Graphing pages from the Flamingo Math Booklet.
Wednesday Oct 31: Happy Halloween! Today we did the first part of lesson 5.2 in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet. This is a very technical lesson, with a lot of minor details that need to be done just right to achieve the skill of being able to graph sinusoidals. I highly recommend you refer to the lesson videos when you try sketching these graphs yourself in the assignment on page 25 of the booklet. Reminder that there are more questions for practice on the Graphing, More Graphing, and Still More Graphing pages from the Flamingo Math Booklet - I handed them out yesterday. The answer key is at the end of the file link. There is also the textbook assignments from the notes booklet. Page 205 #1,2,3 are especially good practice.
Tuesday Oct 30: we finished off the 5.1 lesson, did the 5.3 lesson, and we used Desmos to do two examples that are not in the booklet of y = sinx +2 and y = cos(x-pi). You can now do all of the questions on the 5.1 and 5.3 Assignment, page 23 of the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet. The video clips and animations I used in class today are here: Rolling Out a Cirlce, Generating Sine Curves from the unit circle (version 1 and version 2), Generating the Sine curve from a triangle, Generating Cosine curve from a triangle, Generating Sine curve from simple harmonic motion: ferris wheel, cgi spring, spray paint on a spring, newtonian pendulum (number 1, number 2, number 3). If you finish the page 23 assignment, for more practice I handed out the Graphing, More Graphing, and Still More Graphing pages in the Flamingo Math Booklet - the answer key is at the end of the file.
Monday Oct 29: back to graphing!! I handed out the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet, and we went though Lesson 5.1 and 5.3. The assignment for this section is on page 23 of the booklet - you can start it, but skip questions #3 and 5 (it's about tangent, which will be part of tomorrow's lesson).
Friday Oct 26: the best part of having a test on Friday is that means you have a homework free weekend! Chapter 4 test today.
TYPOS: ON 4.1 ASSIGNMENT, #5 should end with"tenth of a centimetre" and #6 should end with "tenth of a degree", 4.3 ASSIGNMENT #1,h and #3,f should be "undefined" and #3c should be a negative, but the number is correct, and #3d should be 13/12. 4.4 ASSIGNMENT, #2g should be 11pi/4 not 9pi/4 and #4,f is undefined
Wednesday Nov 7: review class. Test tomorrow.
Tuesday Nov 6: I handed out a review booklet of extra sinusoidal problems, a T4 Review (here is an answer key), a T1-T3,T5 Review (here is an answer key) and then we went over some T4 word problems together. Review period tomorrow. Test Thursday. We will save the solving equations algebraically (T4) part of the outcome until next test.
Monday Nov 5: we went through a couple of problems that people had on pages 25 and 27. I uploaded a new key for pages 14-16 in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet. Then we continued into 5.4 and did the examples on pages 18-21. You can now do pages 22 (here is a page 22 key), 29 and 31 in the booklet.
Friday Nov 2: I went through the rest of the 5.2 examples on pages 13-14 in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet and had students work on pages 14-16 (here is the key). You can now do the page 27 (5.2)worksheet. You should be done pages 23,25, and 27 for Monday.
Thursday Nov 1: My lesson today jumped around in the Chapter 5: Trig Functions and Graphs booklet a little. We started by finishing off the example on page 11 (the first section of 5.2). Then we did the first two examples of 5.4 on pages 17 and 18 and the first example from the second section of 5.2 on page 12. Sorry for the scatter, but I am hopefully creating the impression that all of these concepts are really the same topic and they shouldn't be looked at as separate "chapters". I'll finish off the 5.2 and 5.4 examples tomorrow. For tonight, hopefully you have finished the page 23 assignment and are ready to do the page 25 assignment. If it goes well, you can start on the page 27 assignment, but keep in mind I haven't shown you all of the examples of those types of problems yet. As always, if you are looking for more practice, try the textbook questions or the Graphing, More Graphing, and Still More Graphing pages from the Flamingo Math Booklet.

Wednesday Oct 24: we did the last part of lesson 4.4 on general solutions to trig equations, finishing the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet. You can now do all of the 4.4 assignment, the Exercise 4: Solving Trigonometric Equations on a Specified Interval worksheet, and (just handed out today) a Chapter 4 Practice Test (here are the solutions). For extra practice there is the quizzes in the Flamingo Math Booklet and the textbook, specifically the practice test on page 218.
Tuesday Oct 23: We went over a few questions people had with he 4.3 section of the Chapter 4: Trigonometry and the Unit Circle booklet. Then we did the first part lesson for 4.4 (up to page 25). You can now do all 4.4 questions except the ones where the domain is infinite - we'll do the second part of the 4.4 lesson tomorrow to get you ready for those. The 4.4 questions in the booklet (page 30) is not enough practice for this stuff, so I handed out a worksheet called Exercise 4: Solving Trigonometric Equations on a Specified Interval. If you want even more practice than that there are the textbook assignments at the end of each lesson (and solutions at the above link) and some practice quizzes in the Flamingo Math Booklet - the answer key is at the end of the file.

Wednesday Dec 19: more presentations. Then, since one of the presentations discussed the number phi (the golden ratio) I spent a couple of minutes showing the class where the number comes from and how to generate it. Then we looked at a couple of problems from the Chapter 7: Absolute Value and Reciprocal Function Assignment Booklet together. In case you were unable to access the FRC video page last night, I am reassigning videos/notes for lessons 7.2 and 7.3 (here is the link to the video page). After that, work on the odd questions in the assignment booklet.
Tuesday Dec 18: more presentations. Once they were done, we took a look at some questions from the Chapter 7: Absolute Value and Reciprocal Function Assignment Booklet together. Then we looked at some examples from sections 7.2 and 7.3 of the Chapter 7: Absolute Value and Reciprocal Functions Notebook.

Thursday Dec 13: Today was the Chapter 6 Test, and under the circumstances, I am more than happy to not count this test until we have a chance to re-write it. On the other hand, if you did very well on today's test, I am more than happy to count it and make the re-write optional. I haven't scheduled the re-write yet. We'll talk about it next week. Tomorrow, we're scheduled to do the re-test for Radicals (A2 and A3), but some people may want to just use it as a work class and save the re-write for those outcomes until the end of the course, which is fine. No new assignment today.
Wednesday Dec 12: we went over some questions from the Rationals Assignment Booklet to get ready for tomorrow's test. Then I briefly introduced the concept of the piecewise function. No new homework tonight - get ready for the test tomorrow.
Tuesday Dec 11: Today there was more work time for the rest of the odd number questions in the Rationals Assignment Booklet - you have until tomorrow to finish it - we test on Thursday. Anyone who is done that can work on the A4, A5, and A6 Reviews (key for the first one is in the link). If you are looking for practice for the optional Radicals retest on Friday, try the TEXTBOOK pages 304-307. For those ready to move on, I introduced the concept of Absolute Value, then I handed out the Chapter 7: Absolute Value and Reciprocal Functions Notebook and the Chapter 7: Absolute Value and Reciprocal Function Assignment Booklet. Your homework tonight is to do the notes/video for Lesson 7.1.
Monday Dec 10: we did some examples of rational word problems together, then we had work time for the rest of the Rationals Assignment Booklet - you have until Wednesday to finish it - we test on Thursday.
