Applied Math Grade 11 - Semester 2 Feb 2025

EXAM DAY:   DESMOS, Caclulator Soup (for MMMR), Histogram Generator (for making a histogram from a frequency table, Frequency Table Calculator (for finding MMMR from a frequency table)

EXAM REVIEW PACKAGES are in  Answer key is HERE.  (MISTAKES ON THE ANSWER KEY FOR #6 should be A!  YOU CAN OMIT #15.  #28 is wrong, 0 is <4, so the shaded region should be the left. In #35 angle a is 130 not 50)

Thursday June 12:  Just like yesterday, we have time to work on the EXAM REVIEW .  See the links above for the answer keys (and note the typos listed!).  If anyone is finished or has forgotten to bring that review,  work on the textbook cumulative reviews for Chapters 1 and 2 on page 110, for Chapters 3-5 on page 287, and for Chapters 6-8 on page 520.  We didn't do Chapter 8, so ignore those questions and in Chapter 5, ignore any questions that mention "confidence intervals". 

Mr Chaszewski will be in for me today because I will be away at Provincial Exam Marker Training.  Yes, it's as dumb as it sounds.  I would much rather be in class with you all, as I have had a great deal of fun being your Applied Math Teacher and it is a drag to be missing our last class together.  Best of luck to everyone on the exam - don't forget that it is next Wednesday Afternoon in room 203.  Please remember to bring your TEXTBOOKS to the exam.  Message me on Edsby if you have any questions.  

Wednesday June 11:  our last class together to go over anything you'd like from the EXAM REVIEW 

together.  If anyone has worked through all of the exam review and want more practice, there are cumulative reviews for Chapters 1 and 2 on page 110, for Chapters 3-5 on page 287, and for Chapters 6-8 on page 520.  We didn't do Chapter 8, so ignore those questions and in Chapter 5, ignore any questions that mention "confidence intervals".   Bring your Exam Review and textbook with you to class tomorrow.  I will have a guest teacher in, since I will be away at Provincial Exam Marker Training.

Tuesday June 10:  Chapter 7 test

Monday June 9: we went over a few textbook problems together then we had a few minutes to work on the Chapter 7 Review at the back of the  Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet (here is an answer key).   If you finished that over the weekend and you are looking for more review to do tonight before your test tomorrow, the textbook has a Chapter 7 Review, and a  Chapter 7 Self Test you can go through.  Also, 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 the week, I will just use the same ones from the last report card (unless, of course, I feel like they need changing). 

Friday June 6:  our last new lesson of the course!  Lesson 7.8 of the  Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet, where we learn how to produce quadratic equations from the information in a word problem, both with and without technology.  If you missed today's class, here is a link to the recording of the first half of the lesson and here is a link to the recording of the 2nd half of the lesson. The 7.8 assignment is textbook page 436 #1,3,5,7,8,9.  If you finish all that, you can get started on the Chapter 7 review at the end of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet (here is an answer key). 

Thursday June 5:  we went back to the  Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet and did the notes and examples for Lesson 7.7 - Solving Quadratic Equations Using the Quadratic Formula.  The assignment for this section is textbook page 427 #1-4,7,8,10.  If you missed today's class, here is the link to the recording of the notes and algebra examples and here is a link to a video of the word problem examples.

Wednesday June 4: we went over a few questions from the page 391 assignment from Monday's class.  After that, I gave the class work time for page 392 #10, 12,19,20, page 405 #1-4,6,13,14, and page 417 #4,5,8,11.  

Tuesday Jun 3:  we went over a couple more examples of graphing parabolas from the vertex form (finishing yesterday's lesson) and I took another look at solving from the standard form by factoring as well as solving by partial factoring.  This particular lesson is not in the unit notes booklet, so we worked off of loose leaf.  If you missed the class, here is a video of this lesson (watch out for the error at the 30:45 mark).  After that we had time to work on the textbook assignment:  page 391 #1-5, 8,9,11,13.  If you finish that and you want to get started on the next assignments, they are textbook page 392 #10, 12,19,20, page 405 #1-4,6,13,14, and page 417 #4,5,8,11.  Tomorrow will be a work period for these, once we go over a few page 391 questions from Monday.  

Monday Jun 2:  we went over some of the questions from the Page 360, 370, and  379 assignments.  Then we did the 7.4 and 7.6 Lessons on page 13 of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet.  Here is a video of the lesson.  The assignment for this section is textbook page 391 #1-5, 8,9,11,13.  I'll give you work time tomorrow for that.

Friday May 30:  we did this 7.1-7.2 ACC, then we had more work time for Page 360 #1-6, Page 370 #6, 8-10, 12-15 (new!) and Page 379 #1,4,7,9.  You should be done these for Monday. 

Thursday May 29:  after going through the examples on textbook pages 366 and 373, we had work time for Page 360 #1-6, Page 370 #6, 8-10, 12-15 (new!) and Page 379 #1,4,7,9.  You should be done these for Monday.  You'll have more work time tomorrow.

Wednesday May 28:  we went over the three examples at the end of the 7.2 lesson in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet.  Then we played around with DESMOS for a few minutes, before tackling some textbook examples on pages 384 and 388.  Then I added the 7.3 assignment: Page 379 #1,4,7,9.  Tomorrow I will give you time to work on that, as well as the older textbook assignments Page 360 #1-6 and page 370 #6,8-10.

Tuesday May 27:  we spent a few minutes going over the Chapter 5 and 6 tests, then we continued the 7.2 lesson in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet.  Your homework tonight is the three examples on page 11 of the booklet.  If you finish that and want to move on, go back to the textbook assignments on Page 360 #1-6 and page 370 #6,8-10.  We'll say they are due for Thursday and I'll give you some more time to work on them tomorrow.  Here is a video of the 7.2 Lesson part of the class if you missed it.

Monday May 26: CHAPTER 6 TEST.  If you finish with time to spare, you can work on textbook  Page 360 #1-6 and page 370 #6,8-10.

Friday May 23:  I had my guest teacher hand out this 6.4-6.6 Homework assignment that you can work on today as review for Monday's test.  Here is the answer key for it.  

Thursday May 22:  BIG ANNOUNCEMENT - due to a photocopy error the test scheduled for today is not ready to go, so it has been rescheduled to MONDAY.  We're not doing it tomorrow, because I will have a guest teacher in tomorrow and I would rather not have you write the test without being there in case you have questions a guest teacher may not be able to answer.  For tomorrow's class, I'll dig up some more Chapter 6 Review for you to work on.  In today's class, we continued with Chapter 7 and went through the 7.2 lesson in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet.  We'll continue this lesson on Tuesday, but if you want to work ahead (and you finished the page 360 assignment from yesterday) you can try textbook page 370 #6,8-10.  We'll add to that on Tuesday.  Here is a video of the lesson.

Wednesday May 21:  After one more check-in to see if anyone has any questions about the  Chapter 6 Review (here is the answer key) that they want help with, we did with our last chapter 6 ACC.  If you missed today's class, the file here has a key at the end for you to try it.  Then we finished up the last example in lesson 7.1 of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet.  Bring your textbook tomorrow - if you finish the test with time to spare, you can start on Page 360 #1-6.

Tuesday May 20:  After a quick check-in to see if anyone has any questions about the  Chapter 6 Review (here is the answer key) that they want help with, we went through this introduction to refresh some of the skills form grade 9 and 10 that we'll need in Chapter 7 (here is the key).  Then I handed out the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet and we started Lesson 7.1.  Here is the video of the lesson - we made it up to about the 50:30 mark.  The only homework for tonight is to try to finish the example we started on the bottom of page 3.  Here is the link to the video clip we watched in class, a very cool application of parabolas - blob jumping (here's the world record)!

Friday May 16:   I went over a  few of the questions from the textbook page 317, Page 330 #1,2,5 and page 344 #11-14 assignments  Then we had work time for the Chapter 6 Review (here is the answer key).  I handed out the exam review today.  We'll start Chapter 7 on Tuesday and Wednesday, then test Chapter 6 on Thursday.

Thursday May 15: After I went through the last example on page 17 of your Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet, I handed out  a 6.2 ACC, If you missed today's class, the file has a key at the end so you can correct it yourself.   After that, we had class time to finish the questions from the Page 330 #1,2,5 and page 344 #11-14.  If anyone is finished those, they can start on the Chapter 6 Review (here is the answer key).  We'll use tomorrow as review time, start the next unit on Tuesday and Wednesday, then we'll write the Chapter 6 test on Thursday.

Wednesday May 14:  After a 6.1 ACC (here is the solution),we went over the page 13 example from the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet.  Then we went through lesson 6.4-6.6, pages 14-16 of the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet.  I left the last example on page 17 for you to try tonight.  We'll correct it in class tomorrow. Click here for the video of the lesson.  The textbook assignment for this lesson is Page 330 #1,2,5 and page 344 #11-14.  I'll give you some more work time for this tomorrow.

Tuesday May 13:  we went over a few of the page 303 questions together.  Then we went through the 6.2-6.3 lesson on pages 9-12 of the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet.  I left the example on page 13 for you to try.  We'll go over it tomorrow.    Here is a video of the first part of the lesson and here is the video of the second part of the lesson (we made it up to the 20 minute mark).   The assignment for this section is textbook page 317 #1-2 (use paper and pencil), # 3,5-7 (use technology).  I'll give you some workm time for that tomorrow.

Monday May 12:  First we finished off Lesson 6.1 in the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet.  If you missed the class start this video at the 38 minute mark.   After that, I gave the class work time for textbook page 303 #1-5,9,10,12.

CHAPTER 5 CALCULATORS:  DESMOS, Caclulator Soup (for MMMR), Histogram Generator (for making a histogram from a frequency table, Frequency Table Calculator (for finding MMMR from a frequency table)

Friday May 9:  CHAPTER 5 STATISTICS TEST  - if you finish with time to spare, you can work on textbok page 303 #1,2,4,5

Thursday May 8:  using the school laptops, we did the 2nd and 3rd ACCs from this file to practice up for tomorrow's test (we did the first one last week).  If you missed class today, here is the file with the answer keys.   After that I gave the class time to get ready for tomorrow's test  - reminder that if you got through all of the Chapter 5 Review that I handed out back on Monday (here is the answer key),  there is still the textbook self test on page 277 and review on page 280 #1-10 if you have already finished all of the other chapter 5 assignments.  Don't forget to make your study sheet!

Wednesday May 7:  today, we started class by seeing if anyone was stuck on any of the Chapter 5.5 questions from the  Assignment 5.5  handout (here is the answer key) or textbook page 264 #5-11, 14-20.  Then we continued lesson 6.1 in the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet.   Here is the video for the first part of the lesson (start at the 16 minute mark) and the video of the 2nd part of the lesson we made it to about the 38 minute mark). We made it up to the end of the first example on page 4.  We'll continue from there tomorrow. You should be bringing graph paper to class from here on in.  For #1 and 5, graph with pencil and graph paper.  For all other questions, use technology to graph, then just sketch the result.  For fun:  here is the link to the (animated!) version of the Infinity Hotel (a.k.a the Hilbert Hotel) story that we watched today, check out this video.  If you want to see a great explanation as to why you can't count (or make a list of) every irrational number, check out this video (start at the 5 minute mark).

Tuesday May 6:  we started Chapter 6 today.  We spent a few minutes reviewing some grades 7-9 graphing rules (the first two pages of this handout), then we started the notes and examples for lesson 6.1, pages 1-2 in the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet.  Here is the video for the first part of class, where we reviewed grade 7-9 graphing.  Here is the video for the second half of the class where we started Chapter 6, lesson 1 (we made it about 16 minutes into the video).  No Chapter 6 homework yet, so you can use tonight to keep preparing for  Friday's Chapter 5 test. 

Monday May 5:  we went over a few problems from the Assignment 5.5  handout (here is the answer key) and textbook page 264 #5-11, 14-20.  Then we had time to work on  the Chapter 5 Review (here is the answer key) that I handed out today.  If you are done the review and you crave more practice for Thursday's test, you can work on textbook: Chapter 5 Review, and Chapter 5 Self-Test.  Remember that we didn't cover section 5.6 so ignore any question that mentioned "confidence intervals".  Also, any question that asks for a 'frequency polygon' can be answered with a histogram.

Friday May 2:   we started class by seeing if anyone had we went through part 2 of lesson 5.5 in the Chapter 5 Notes Booklet, learning how to do an inversecdf, as it's called on Desmos.  This is basically the opposite of what we did yesterday.  Here are both sets of lesson 5.5 notes filled in for anyone who missed one of the lessons. Here is the video of today's class if you missed it or need to see examples again.  You can now do all of the Assignment 5.5  handout (here is the answer key).  Once you are finished that, you can work on textbook page 264 #5-11, 14-20.

Thursday May 1: we started with this ACC #1 as a practice quiz (here is the key if you missed class and want to try it yourself).  Then I went through lesson 5.5, Z-scores, in the Chapter 5 Notes Booklet.  If you missed the class, here is a video of the first half of the lesson and here is a video of the second half of the lesson (skip the part from 3:30 to 17:00 unless you want to see how to do this on a T1 graphing calculator).  Tonight, you can keep working on the 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key), the 5.4 worksheet #2 (here is the answer key  Here is the Desmos file so you can avoid having to type all the data in).  If you finish that too, you can work on textbook page 251 #1,5,6,10,11,13,14.

Wednesday April 30:  we did the second part of the 5.4 Lesson (part 2) in the  Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet.  Then we had time to work the  5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key) that I handed out yesterday and the sheet I handed out today: the 5.4 worksheet #2 (here is the answer key  Here is the Desmos file so you can avoid having to type all the data in).  If you finish that too, you can work on textbook page 251 #1,5,6,10,11,13,14.  NOTE: any place in the textbook that it asks for a "frequency polygon", just make a histogram.

Tuesday April 29:  after taking a look at the Chapter 4 test (I handed it back yesterday) we went over some questions from the Page 233 assignment (5.3).  Then I handed out this  5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key) and I did #1 as another example.  Then we had the rest of the class to work on it.  If anyone is finished it and wants to move on, the next assignment is      textbook page 251 #1,6,13,14. 

Monday April 28:  we went over a few questions from page 211 #1b,d, 2,3 and page 222 #3-5.  Then we introduced the concept of a normal distribution with this video and went through Lesson 5.4 - Part 1 in the  Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet.    If you want to see a different explanation of this topic, watch this video.  If you are finished the page 233 assignment from Friday, you can do textbook page 251 #1,6,13,14. 

Friday April 25:  in class today, we keep going into Lesson 5.3 in our Chapter 5 Radicals Notes booklet.  Here is the Desmos file I was using for the lesson.  We watched this video for a very nice description of the meaning of standard deviation.  For all of the 5.3 examples (and your homework) you can use Calculator Soup, the online Frequency Table Calculator, or Desmos. For Monday. you should be finished the assignments from yesterday and the day before (page 211 #1b,d, 2,3 and page 222 #3-5).  If you are ready to move on, the 5.3 textbook assignment is page 233 #2,5,7,8,14.

Thursday April 24:  we continued with the "Potter's Class" Example in the 5.2 Lesson in the Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet.  Today, we'll take the "Potter's Class" example that we graphed by hand in yesterday's class and graph it using technology.  We used this ap at the online Histogram Generator to graph it from our frequency chart (this ap was not part of my original notes booklet - the ap in your notes for this section no longer functions), so I handed out this page to add to your notes booklet), then we used a different Histogram Generator to graph it from the raw data (this is the one in the notes booklet - it didn't always work well on phones), as well as Desmos.  To save some data entry time on the last example, here is the Desmos file that I used.   The assignment for this chapter is textbook page 222 #3-5. I ended the lesson by starting the 5.3 Lesson, but we only got through the definition and the first example in your notes, we'll pick it up there tomorrow.

Wednesday April 23:  we started Lesson 5.2:  Frequency Tables and Histograms in the Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet.  Today's lesson used the online Frequency Table Calculator  and then we did a histogram by hand using the grid on page 10 of the notes booklet .  We'll continue from there tomorrow. We're not quite done with the 5.2 lesson yet, so today's assignment is just for 5.1:  page 211 #1b,d, 2,3. Here is the data for today's example 1.

Tuesday April 22:  we did the first lesson in Chapter 5: 5.1-Exploring Data.  This covered pages 2-5 in the Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet and is pretty much a review of concepts from grade 8, but now we focus on using technology to help us manage the data.   Here is a video of the lesson in case you need to see the online or TI instructions again (or you were absent).  The assignment for this section is  textbook page 211 #1b,d, 2,3.  The online Statistics Calculator we used in class is this one here at Calculator Soup.  The list of data for example two in Desmos is here.

Monday April 21:  CHAPTER 4 TEST

Thursday April 17:  we did a quick 4.1 review and I gave the class some hints on what to put on their studay sheet for Monday's test.  Then it was more work time for page 183 #1-4 and page 194 #2,3, 9,10.  If you are looking for more practice for Monday's test, there is some good review in the textbook on pages 198 and 200.

Wednesday April 16:  we went over page 13 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet.  Then we went through the examples in the 4.4 lessons on page 15.  The rest of class was time to work on textbook page 183 #1-4 and page 194 #2,3, 9,10.  We will test Chapter 4 on Monday.

Tuesday April 15:  we started with this 4.2 ACC, which we then corrected together. Here is the answer key in case you missed class and want to try it for yourself.  After the ACC we went back to the  Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet. and went through another 2-solution ambiguous triangle example on page 9.  After that, students had time to work on #1-4 on page 13 of the notebook.  We will go over those tomorrow.  If you finish those, you can start on textbook page 183 #1-4, I'll add to that assignment tomorrow.  CHECK OUT THE VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE EDSBY PAGE.  It concerns this letter that I sent home today.

Monday April 14:  we started with this 4.1 ACC (if you missed class and want to try it for yourself, here is the key). Then I did a check in to see if anyone was stuck on any of the page 172 problems or the More 4.1 Practice worksheet (here is the answer key) .   Then we went through Lesson 4.3 on pages 7-12 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet.  We didn't quite finish the last example (d on page 9) so try it tonight and we'll go over it tomorrow.  The first assignment for this lesson is page 13 in the notebook.  You'll have more work time for it tomorrow.

Thursday April 10:  we lose this class to a special student council event.  Reminder that you should be done textbook page 172 #3-15 and this More 4.1 Practice worksheet (here is the answer key) for Monday.

Wednesday April 9:  after we went over the solutions to textbook page163 #1-3, I handed out a More 4.1 Practice worksheet (here is the answer key).  Then we had the rest of class to finish up textbook page 172 #3-15 if necessary, before trying the practice worksheet. We will do a practice quiz on the 4.1 lesson on Monday.

Tuesday April 8: I was away for an appointment today, so it was work time for textbook page163 #1-3 and Page 172 #3-15.   If anyone finished all of that, my guest teacher gave them this More 4.1 Practice worksheet (here is the answer key).

Monday April 7: Welcome Back!  We got back into things by finishing off lesson 4.1 in our Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet.   Then we went through lesson 4.2 in our Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet.  The 4.1 assignment is textbook page 163 #1-3 and the 4.2 assignment is Page 172 #3-15.  You will have tomorrow as a work period for these two assignments.   If you missed the class - here is the key for the 4.1 lesson notes and scroll to the bottom of this page for a link to a video of a 4.1 and 4.2 lesson. 

Friday March 28:  we went over the last question from Wednesday's Congruent Triangle Activity.   Then we went through most of lesson 4.1 in our Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet.  If you missed the class - here is the key for the lesson notes.  I  left some of the examples on the last page of the lesson for you to try over the break.  We'll go over them on the Monday when we get back.  If you want to try the homework for this section, it is textbook page163 #1-3.  I'll assign it officially on the Monday.  If you want to play with the interactive unit circle for yourself, here is the link.  Have a great spring break everyone!

Thursday March 27:  Chapter 3 Test - if you finish with some time to spare, you can try the last diagram in yesterday's  Congruent Triangle Activity.  If you still need something to do you can try filling out the chart on the second page of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet that I handed out once people were finished.  

Wednesday March 26:  we did  the Congruent Triangle Activity.  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 (the last diagram in the booklet and the question of AAA or AAS). 

Tuesday Mar 25:  we went over the Page 147 #3-5, 8-10 assignment questions.  Then we had time to work on review questions from textbook page 152 #1-8 and if you want more practice than that, try 154 #2-12.  Don't forget to make yourself a study sheet - I am NOT giving you a formula sheet for Thursday's test! 

Monday March 24:   we started by asking if anyone is stuck on any of the page 124 or 136 assignment questions.  Then we had work time to do Page 147 #3-5, 8-10.  If anyone is already finished these questions, work on some review from textbook pages 152 and 154 and get started on making the study sheet that you will be bringing into Thursday's test.

Friday Mar 21: we continued with a 3.3 ACC (Cosine Law) ( the file has a key).  Once again, if you can't do these questions, you are not keeping up with the pace of the course and you can't expect to pass the next test if you don't turn things around.  After that, we did pages 9-11, Lesson 3.4 in the  Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet.   Today's homework is textbook page 147 #3-5,8-10.  You will get some work time for it on Monday.

Thursday Mar 20:  we started with a few more minutes to work on textbook page 136 #1-7,9-11,13,15.  Then we did this 3.2 ACC ( Acute Sine Law) ( the file has a key ).  If you couldn't do these questions, you need to go back and catch up on homework or you will almost certainly fail the next test.  We'll do a mini-practice-quiz like this for 3.3 tomorrow.  We ended class by going over a few of the page 136 questions together.  

Wednesday Mar 19:  we started by going over some of the questions in the textbook page 124 #2-17 assignment.  Then we finished up the examples in Lesson 3.3 of the   Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet and then had time to work on textbook page 136 #1-7,9-11,13,15.

Tuesday Mar 18:  we started with some more work time for textbook page 124 #2-17.  Then we went back to the   Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet and we started Lesson 3.3 where we derived and did the first couple of examples of the Cosine Law.  We'll finish up that lesson tomorrow, but if you are finished all of the page 124 assignment, you can get started on page 136 #1-7,9-11,13,15.

Monday Mar 17:  we went over the examples on the last two pages of lesson 3.2 of the  Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet.  We also did Example 3 from page 122 and #9 from page 126 of your textbook together.   The assignment for lesson 3.2 is:  textbook page 124 #2-17.  The rest of the class was work time.

Thursday Mar 13:  we corrected the rest of the examples that we didn't finish on Tuesday in the  Chapter 3 Introduction - Right Angle Trig Review Notes.  You should now be able to finish the Right Angle Trig Practice sheet.  (here is the answer key).  Then I handed out the  Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet.  On the first page we derived the formula for the SINE LAW and learned how to use it as we worked through lesson 3.2.   Your homework for this part of the lesson is to finish the examples on the last two pages of lesson 3.2.  We'll go over them on Monday.

Wednesday Mar 12:  Chapter 2 Test.  Anyone who finished with time to spare can work on this Right Angle Trig Practice sheet.   Here is the answer key.  

Tuesday Mar 11:  After a quick go-over of the two Chapter 2 reviews, I handed out this Chapter 3 Introduction - Right Angle Trig Review Notes.  We went through the notes and the first few examples together.  

Monday Mar 10:  we went over the page 99 questions together, then had time to work on the 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the key for that) or the 2.4 Review (here is the key for that one).  That work time would also be a good time to get your study sheet ready for Wednesday's test.

Friday Mar 7:  we started with a mini-quiz (ACC) for 2.3.   Then we had time to work on the 2.4 assignment: page 99 #1-3,6,7, or you could also work on the 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the key for that) or the 2.4 Review (here is the key for that one).

Thursday Mar 6:  I handed back the chapter 1 test and we went over a few of the questions.  At the end of the semester, I will drop the lowest test score from your average.  BUT keep in mind that the material from all of the Chapter tests will be on the final exam in June.  After that, we started class by going over a few homework questions from the textbook page 90 assignment, then we watched this video.  Then we went through the 2.4 lesson on pages 19-20 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package.   No new homework tonight, but now that you have seen how we should be doing the "prove" questions, you may want to re-try some of the page 90 homework from yesterday.  If you want to start on the 2.4 assignment it is page 99 #1-3,6,7 - I'll give you some work time for it tomorrow.  We'll use Monday as a review day and test Chapter 2 on Tuesday.

Wednesday Mar 5: we started with a mini-quiz (ACC) for 2.1-2.2.  The file link has an answer key at the end if you missed class and want to try it for yourself.   After that we had a little more time to finish the assignment from yesterday:  textbook page 90 #2-5,7,10,13,14,15.  If anyone is finished that, I will give them a 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the key for that)  to work on. 

Tuesday Mar 4:  we went over some of the page 72 and 78 questions,  Then we went back to the notes for Chapter 2.3 on pages 17-18 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package.   Then we had some time to work on the assignment for this lesson, textbook page 90 #2-5,7,10,13,14,15.   If anyone is interested in watching the rest of the cartoon I showed you a clip from today, here is the link.

Monday March 3: as promised, we had some work time for Textbook Page 72 #2,5,6 and page 78 #1,2,4,17,20.  Then we discussed what "classical" geometry used to look like and watched at a video that answers the question, "what is the centre of a triangle?"  If you missed class you can watch the video here. Then we started the started the notes for Chapter 2.3 on pages 16-17 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package.  We'll finish the notes and examples on Tuesday,

Friday Feb 28:  CHAPTER 1 TEST.  If you finish with time to spare you can work on Textbook Page 72 #2,5,6 and page 78 #1,2,4,17,20.  I'll give you more work time tomorrow if you finish the test early, and again on Monday, so you don't have to do any homework this weekend.  Huzzah!

Thursday Feb 27:  one more check in to see if the class has any Chapter 1 questions before tomorrow's test.  Then one more SET game then we finished up the notes for lesson 2.2 in our new  Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package.  If you missed today's lesson, the filled in version of the notes package is here.   The assignment for this section is Textbook Page 72 #2,5,6 and page 78 #1,2,4,17,20.  

Wednesday Feb 26:  after another check in to see if anyone had any Chapter 1 questions (and another SET game) ,  we started notes for lessons 2.1 and 2.2, on page 10 in our new  Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package.  If you missed today's lesson, the filled in version of the notes package is here.   

Tuesday Feb 25:  we spent a few minutes going through questions from the Chapter 1 review booklet.  Then we started Chapter 2.  We did some examples in the introductory section, pages 2-8 in the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package together.  You can finish the rest of the examples that we didn't get to for homework.  

Monday Feb 24:  today was the last day I'll give you class time to work on the Chapter 1 Review Booklet.   The 1.1 section has answers on page 6.  To see the answers to the 1.2 to 1.6 sections, click on this answer key.

Friday Feb 21:  we started with another SET game,  then we went through some of the questions from the page 49 assignment.  Then I handed out this Chapter 1 Review Booklet.   We will work on this for a couple of classes and then do our Chapter 1 test on Wednesday of next week.  I have an answer key for the 1.2 to 1.6 sections of the review here.  We'll correct the 1.1 section together on Monday.  Also, on Monday and Tuesday, we'll go over some of the puzzles I handed out on Wednesday.

Thursday Feb 20: After another  SET game,  we went through the questions from the page 42 assignment from Tuesday's homework.   Then we had some time to work on the last three pages of the   Chapter 1 Notes Package, then textbook page 49 #2-4,6-11,14.  These should be done for tomorrow.  If you want a break from the textbook questions, there's the puzzles I handed out yesterday. 

Wednesday Feb 20:  After another  SET game, we figured out what is going on in this  YouTube video (which is how to think about #4 from yesterday's homework).  After that, we did the 1.6 notes in our  Chapter 1 Notes Package and I handed out this Introduction to Sudoku puzzle and we went over it.   The textbook assignment for this section is to finish the last couple of examples on the last three pages of the notes booklet, then do textbook page 49 #2-4,6-11,14.  If you need a little break from the textbook questions, I handed out a 5-Triangle Puzzle, or the Logic Problem (here is the key), or  the Tax Collector problem (here is the solution)  and this practice Sudoku, (here is the key)..  I'll give you some more work time tomorrow.

Tuesday Feb 18:  We started with today's SET game.  Then we finished up the discussion and examples and notes for Lesson 1.5 in the  Chapter 1 Notes Package.  The assignment for this section is textbook page 42 #3-5,7,9,10.  We watched this little video and then, in addition to the textbook assignment, I want you to try to figure out what is going on here  (if that link does not work for you, here it is on YouTube).  The solution will be discussed tomorrow.

Friday Feb 14:  Happy Valentine's Day!  We started by going through the linear relations section of the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package together.   Then we went over the textbook page 23 and 31 questions from yesterday.  Finally, we went back to the Chapter 1 Notes Package and went through the examples and notes for Lesson 1.5.  We didn't quite finish the lesson discussion, so we'll finish it on Tuesday and your only homework for the weekend is to try to find the mistake or reasoning error in the last example we did (or did we really just prove that 2=0 !?)

Thursday Feb 13:  we went over the trigonometry questions in the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package together.  Then we had more time to work on textbook page 23 #10-12, 15-17 and page 31 #1-5, 7,8,10,11,15.  They should be done for tomorrow.

Wednesday Feb 12: We went through the factoring section of the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package together, including how to use Desmos when you are stuck on a factoring question.  Then we went back to the Chapter 1 Notes Package and went through the examples and notes for Lesson 1.4.  The assignment for this section is textbook page 23 #10-12, 15-17 and page 31 #1-5, 7,8,10,11,15.  You can have the rest of class to work on this today and I'll give you some more time tomorrow.

Tuesday Feb 10:  we discussed the a,b,c,d,e questions in the last example of Lesson 1.3 in the Chapter 1 Notes Package.  Then we had some time to work on the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package.  We'll start going over it tomorrow as we keep working through Chapter 1.

Monday Feb 8:  since there was a mix up with the class coverage on Friday, I handed out this grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package today for the people who missed it.   I'll give you some time to work on it tomorrow.  Then we went over textbook page 17 #2 and page 22 #1,3,4.  After that, I handed out a couple more pages of the Chapter 1 Notes Package and we did some notes.  If you didn't finish a,b,c,d,e of the last example in Lesson 1.3, do them for homework.  We will discuss them tomorrow.

Friday Feb 7:  work time to finish page 17 #2 and page 22 #1,3,4.   After that, my guest teacher handed out this  grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package.  Try as much of it as you can.  Don't panic if there are parts of it that you can't remember how to do - we'll spend a little bit of time in each of the following week or so of classes reviewing these skills while we finish up chapter 1.

Thursday Feb 6:  we looked at the conjecture that you made for the relationship between the number of points on a circle and the number of regions formed by its cords.  We had a little more discussion about conjectures and proofs of their validity.  We watched this video and this video.  We figured out this webpage is "reading your mind".   Then we had time to work on textbook questions:   page 17 #2 and page 22 #1,3,4.  They should be done for Monday.

Wednesday Feb 5:  we started doing some notes from our  Chapter 1 Notes Package.  Today we did some definitions and examples (for homework, come up with a conjecture about the last example with the cords of a circle).  For our first textbook work, I assigned the following textbook questions:   page 17 #2 and page 22 #1,3,4. I'll give you time to work on them tomorrow. See if you can figure out how this webpage is "reading your mind"

Tuesday Feb 4:  we started with a problem:  is 8^x always going to be larger than 9^(x-1)?  We found out  the answer (thanks to an excel spreadsheet!).  Then we looked at the climb to a prime game, which leads to more conjectures. Will my favourite (non-prime) two digit number climb to a prime?  Will ALL numbers eventually climb to a prime?  Here is a direct link to the prime number checker to help you play.  The "climb to a prime" game explains why 13 532 385 396 179 is Mr K's favourite number.  Just to show us that math isn't just about numbers we looked for patterns in shapes with The SET game.

Monday Feb 3:  Welcome to Grade 11 Applied Math!  Here is the course outline.  We played a couple of  games with 2 digit numbers (and learned about Kaprekar's constatnt and the Collatz Conjecture) while I assigned textbooks and tried get to know you a little bit.  No homework yet!  If anyone wants to use the HOTPO online calculator that I was using in class, here is the link.  If anyone who is also taking computer science wants to have a try at coding a program to calculate it yourself, let me know!
