(ANSWER KEYS HERE: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) - watch for typos on: Ch 3 #5d (it factors to 1/4(x+8)^2+4, they factored out the 1/4 incorrectly), Ch 9 #7, Ch 2 #6 (wrong answer circled), Ch 6 #3 should say x can't equal -5 not -2.
Wednesday Jan 22 to Thursday Jan 23: we went over more textbook review questions together. Remember to bring your textbook in to your exam on Wednesday.
Tuesday Jan 21: Optional Re-test day
Monday Jan 20: if you didn't hand in your CUSR letters on Friday, you need to do so today. Also, you have to hand in THIS PAGE by the end of the day so I know what outcomes you will be re-testing tomorrow. If you are absent from today's class, message me with your choices on Edsby by 3:30 today. If I don't get your form or a message, I will assume you do not want to retest anything.
After discussing the above housekeeping issues, we went over some textbook questions together.
Friday Jan 17: We started the exam review process today. We went over some textbook questions together.
I need your CUSR data for the report card. If you missed today's class, watch this video and send me your CUSR choices on Edsby. If I don't hear from you by the end of next week, I will just use the same ones from the last report card (unless, of course, I feel like they need changing).
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: By Monday, I need to know which outcomes you would like to try to re-test. If I don't receive THIS PAGE back from you by 3:30 on Monday, I will assume you are not interested in re-testing anything.

CHAPTER 5 RADICALS TEST - THURSDAY NOV 21
Wednesday Nov 20: We went over some textbook page 300 questions and #1 and 2 on the Radical Challenge Problems sheet - we also linked that #2 problem back to the last question on your Chapter 4 test. Be skeptical of the mystical nonsense attributed to phi. Phi is cool, but here is a rational look at it's actual significance. After that discussion, we had time to work on reviews at the back of the notes package to prepare for tomorrow's test. If you want more Challenging Radical Problems, I handed out another round of them (here is the key).
Tuesday Nov 19: We started by going over a few questions from pages 20 of the Chapter 5 Radicals Notes booklet, then we went over a couple of problems from the page 289 homework assignment.

Thursday Nov 7: we started with this ACC 4.5 which had some good Chapter 4 review on the back side (the file line has a key, so if you missed class you can download it and try it for yourself. Then we worked and went over some problems from textbook pages 194 and 254 and the R5 Applications Booklet together.
Wednesday Nov 6: We lost most of this period to the University Fair in the gym. If people did make it up to class before 3:30, I just gave them work time for the textbook assignments from Monday and yesterday or the R5 Applications Booklet.
Tuesday Nov 5: we went through the second part of Lesson 4.4, pages 10-13 in the Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet. The assignment for this section is page 258 #4,5, page 259 #10,11,16,17, page 260 #20-22, and page 262 #11-14. If you find those easy and you are ready to move on, I handed out an R5 Applications Booklet that you can use for review.
Monday Nov 4: we went through the first part of Lesson 4.4, pages 10-13 in the Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet. The assignment for this section is page 254 #1-12,14,15,17-19,22. We'll add to that assignment after tomorrow's part 2 of the lesson.
Friday Nov 1: After a quick lesson where I derive the quadratic formula (if you missed the class, here is a video of it), we had work time for
page 229 #16-18,21,24,26,30 and page 241 #6-12. I also handed back the Chapter 3 test and this challenging Geometry Problem (here is the key for it) that had a spooky, post-Halloween surprise on the back side of the page!
Also, on Friday, I asked for your CUSR data for the report card. If you missed Friday's class, watch this video and send me your CUSR choices on Edsby. If I don't hear from you by the end of class on Monday, I will just use whatever code pops into my head.
Thursday Oct 31: Happy Halloween! We went over a few questions from the 229 textbook factoring assignment. Then we went through the examples on pages 7-8 of the Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet and a few more examples from the textbook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 229 #16-18,21,24,26,30 and page 241 #6-12. I'll give you some work time tomorrow for this and say that they're due for Monday.
Wednesday Oct 30: After going over the solutions to page 6 of the Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet together, we spent a few minutes looking at how to graph quadratics using DESMOS and a TI graphing calculator using some examples from the textbook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 215 #5,8-10,12. Remember that we are expecting you to use DESMOS to graph these questions. Reminder that you should also be finished page 229 #1-10 for tomorrow. You can have until Monday for the page 215 assignment, but I am going to start new stuff tomorrow.
Monday Oct 28: I handed out our Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet and we started the chapter by reviewing and expanding our grade 10 factoring skills. This got us through pages #1-5 of the booklet. I'll leave the examples on page 6 for you to try for Wednesday (manditory). If you need practice with these skills, remember that last week I handed out this trinomial factoring practice page (optional). There is also a textbook assignment on page 229 #1-10 (manditory - due Thursday).
Thursday Oct 24: we lost today's class to the pep rally. GO CENTURIANS!
Wednesday Oct 23: We started another practice quiz - this time on 3.3 (this one has a key at the end of the file). Then we corected the last two questions from yesterday's practice quiz and today's practice quiz. Then we checked to see if anyone had any problems with the page 157 or174 assignments. Then I let the class have time to work on the textbook page 192 assignment from yesterday. Anyone who is finished that can start on the "In Class Review" at the end of the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package. There is a typo on #4, it should read "change to VERTEX form". Here are answer keys for them. If you are looking for more practice there is a review and a practice test in the textbook at the end of chapter 3. I also handed out a 3.1-3.2 Multiple Choice Quiz (the file has a key at the end) to give you a little multiple choice practice before the test next week (watch out for the typo in #1!).
Monday Oct 21: we picked up where we left off on page 20 in the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package. We moved into lesson 3.3. I made some slight alterations to the notes on pages 23-24, so I handed out a revised version of those two pages before we began. Your assignment for the rest of class is to finish the examples on pages 27. You can check your own answers using Desmos. After that, the next assignment is textbook page 192 #1-12,16,20.
Thursday Oct 17 - Friday Oct 18: Work time for textbook page 157 #1,2,4,5a,6-10,12,13,15,18 and page 174 #1-4,6-14,19,21-23.

The homework for these lessons are textbook page 157 #1,2,4,5a,6-10,12,13,15,18 and page 174 #1-4,6-14,19,21-23. I'm giving you tomorrow and Friday as work time for this assignment and the next one. Start bringing some graph paper to class for your sketching questions.
Tuesday Oct 15:
we did the first 10 pages of the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package, covering a brief review of functions and Lesson 3.1a. Here is the video of the lesson, in case you missed it or want to see it again. No new assignment yet. Maybe spend a few minutes tonight considering if you are interested in writing the CSMC(registration deadline is tomorrow) or the
COMC (registration deadline is next week Tuesday)
Friday Oct 11: T3 (Chapter 2.3 and 2.4) TEST. For anyone who finished early,
I handed out this trinomial factoring practice page. I won't officially assign it until next week, so enjoy a math homework-free long weekend!

The assignment for this section is textbook page108 #6-9,11, 17,23.
Friday Oct 4:
we did the Congruent Triangle Activity. I don't have a video for this activity, but if you missed class and want to try it for yourself, you can work your way through this power point that goes step by step on drawing the triangles. No new homework for this activity besides the question I left you with at the end of the activity. Reminder that you should be done textbook page 108 #1-5, 10, 12, 13, 15,18, 20 for Tuesday. Have a great long weekend!
Thursday Oct 3: Ch 2.1 and 2.2 (Outcomes T1 and T2) Test today. If students finished with time to spare, can work on the textbook page 108 assignment from yesterday (due for Monday). Bring a protractor to tomorrow's class if you have one.
Wedensday Oct 2:
today we started by going over some 2.2 homework questions from the page 96 assignment. Then we did the 2.2 Practice Quiz and this
2.2B Practice Quiz. If you are looking for last minute practice for tomorrow's test, you could always try the following review questions in the textbook: page 126 #1-10 and page 129 #1-3, 6. Bring a protractor to Friday's class if you have one. If you want to re-watch the video I showed in class, here is the link.
Tuesday Oct 1: I gave the class some time to work on the page 96 assignments from Friday and the
Trig Equations Worksheet, but I added to that by handing out this
Trig Equations with Multi-Step Algebra worksheet. After some work time, we did the notes on Lesson 2.3A, pages 19-20 in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 108 #1-5, 10, 12, 13, 15,18, 20, but you don't have to be done this assignment until next week, so please keep your focus on Thursday's T1 and T2 test (make sure you know your unit circle!). Reminder that we test Chapters 2.1 and 2.2 Thursday.
Friday Sept 27:
we went through Lesson 2.2.2 on pages 16-17 in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 96 #1-16,18,21-24,29 (this is the combination of the two assignments from pages 15 and 17 of the notes booklet) and this Trig Equations Worksheet that I handed out. Get some of this done over the weekend, but I will give you some work time on Tuesday.
Thursday Sept 26:
we started with a unit circle activity, then we went over some questions from yesterday's homework assignment on textbook page 83, then we did a 2.1.1 practice quiz (key attached). After that, we went through Lesson 2.2.1 on pages 14-15 of the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this lesson is page 96 #1-6,11,12-15, 22-24. I'll add to that assignment after tomorrow's lesson and it will be due for Tuesday.
Wednesday Sept 25: Ms Cormier stepped in for me as a guest teacher today. I'm letting the class have a work period for the textbook assignments from the bottom of pages 6 and 12 of the
Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. Putting them together, it's Page 83 #1-13, 15-17, 20, 21,24
Tuesday Sept 24:
we finished Lessons 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 on pages 10-12 in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 83 #8,10 -13,15,17,20, 21,24. Check out this
interactive unit circle. Reminder that the lesson on Thursday of last week also had an assignment from this textbook section. Tomorrow is a work period, so you can work on both at the same time. If you want to play with the Interactive Unit Circle,
here is the link.
MISTAKES ON THE ANSWER KEY OF THE Chapter 1 Skill Practice Review: #9a should be 1400, #13a should be -7174454. #13b is NOT a bad question, it fits on my calculator just fine and the answer rounds nicely to 125. Chapter 1 Word Problem Review: #7 should be $12564.89 (if you call $1000 T1, then you are solving for t11).
Monday Sept 23: TEST 1: Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences and Series. If you finish with time to spare, you could work on textbook page 83 #1-7,9,15-17, 20, but I will give you a work period on Wednesday, so please don't feel like you need to finish it for homework just yet.
Friday Sept 20: we lost this class to the Terry Fox Run. Reminder that you have a Chapter 1 test on Monday and a couple of reviews that I handed out on Wednesday that you can work on. See Wednesday's update below for their answer keys.
Thursday Sept 19: Any questions from the two reviews I handed out yesterday? Then we're off onto Chapter 2! I handed out the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. We went through the Lesson 2.0 Trigonometry Review on pages 2-3. I don't generally hand out homework for this section, since students who were strong in MIAP last year, usually remember this topic pretty well, IF, on the other hand, you are a student who comes to us from a different school in grade 10 (where they didn't spend much, or any time in right-angled trig), you can download and practice on this Right Angle Trigonometry Review (here is the key). We went through lesson 2.1.1 in the in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. If you WANT to get started on the homework for chapter 2, the assignment for this section is textbook page 83 #1-7,9,15-17, 20. I emphasize the word 'WANT' since you will have time to work on the first couple of Chapter 2 assignments on Wednesday of next week (and you have a test to study for this weekend!), so you might want to save it for then. While we're on the subject of the Chapter 1 test, if you blaze through the reviews I handed out yesterday and want more practice, go to the Review and Practice test pages at the end of Chapter 1 in the textbook. There's plenty of practice questions in there. We had a little time at the end of class, so we got started on Lesson 2.1.2, taking us to about the end of page 9.
Wednesday Sept 18: we went over a few 1.5 homework problems. Then we did the 1.5 Mini Quiz. Then I handed out a Chapter 1 Skill Practice Review and a Chapter 1 Word Problem Review. The files linked here have answer keys. We spent a few munutes at the end of class looking at the biggest controversy in math over the last 20 years or so. Here is the answer key for the Number Sequence Activity.
Tuesday Sept 17: we did the 1.4 Mini-Quiz. Then we went through the enrichment activity on the last page of the notes booklet together. If you want to explore Fractals some more, here is the link I used in class. After that, I gave the class a little more time to work on the 1.5 homework problems.
Monday Sept 16: Monday Sept 16: We went over some of the 1.4 homework problems. Then we did the 1.5 Lesson in the Sequences and Series booklet. This included a discussion of Zeno's Paradox. The assignment for this section is textbook page 63 #1-5-8,11, 12, 14, 15 , 19, 20. You'll get a little more work time tomorrow.
Friday Sept 13: then we did the 1.3 Mini-Quiz. Then we had some time to work on yesterday's assignment for Lesson 1.4, Pages 53 #1-6, 8, 10, 11,13, 15-19. We ended class by exploring the Al's Allowance problem and the Pal Paysam legend.
Thursday Sept 12: we went over a few homework problems from the page 39 assignment. Then we did the 1.4 Lesson in the Sequences and Series booklet. The assignment for this section is textbook Pages 53 #1-6, 8, 10, 11,13, 15-19.
Wednesday Sept 11: we did the 1.2 Mini Quiz. Then we had some time to work on the page 39 assignment from yesterday. For anyone who is breezing through this stuff and is saying to themselves, "hey, I signed up for honours math because I wanted a challenge" - I have just the thing for you: I handed out a Number Sequence Activity. I won't hand out an answer key for it until Monday in case you want to try to solve some of it over the weekend. I don't expect anyone to solve all of these questions! Think of it as a challenge or puzzle - NOT as curricular expectations! If you enjoy this sort of challenge, you'll love participating in the math contests this year!
Tuesday Sept 10: I started the class by seeing if anyone had any questions from last night's homework. Then we did the 1.3 lesson in the Sequences and Series booklet. The assignment for this section is textbook P. 39 #1-10, 12, 13, 18, 20, 22, 23, 26, 27.
Monday Sept 9: we checked to see if anyone had any issues with the page 16 homework from Friday. Then I handed out a booklet of Chapter 1 Mini Quizzes. We did the 1.1 Mini Quiz in class today (the key is at the end of the file - #5 has an error the correct answer is 47). Then we went through Lesson 1.2 in the Sequences and Series booklet. The homework is textbook page 27 #1-7, 9,10,12,14,16,19,23.
Thursday September 5: Welcome to Grade 11 Honours Pre-Calculus! Here is the course outline and an overview of the curriculum. Here is a Grade 10 Skill Review, just to refresh some skills while I hand out your first notes package, the Sequences and Series booklet, as well as your textbook. The questions on the Grade 10 Skill Review should be things you already know how to do, but don't panic if you need a little bit of refresher on those skills (definitely panic and run, don't walk to your counselor if you can't do any of it!).
