Hi there Applied Math Students!
I have marked and recorded the last test you wrote on Thursday of last week (Chapter 5). If you want to use it tomorrow to have a look at what mistakes you made so that you don't repeat them on Wednesday's exam, you can stop by room 203 tomorrow (Tuesday) and pick it up.
I have not yet had the chance to sit down and calculate which of your Chapters was your worst and remove it from your average. I'll get to that later this week.
Also, I was thinking over the weekend that in normal, non-tech-calamity years, we would have had a class at the end of the course to work on review and students could have potentially taken a few minutes to make sure they had all necessary formulas on their study sheets.
Since we needed that last class of the semester to assess Chapter 5, I will give you this formula sheet that I have attatched to this message when you come in to write your exam on Wednesday morning.
Of course, on exam day you can still bring in a "study sheet" of paper with ANYTHING you think may help you written on it (just like you did on all of the chapter tests), but I don't want to see people lose marks for having a formula written down incorrectly, when you didn't get the chance to run your copy past me first.
See you tomorrow or Wednesday. Good luck!
Mr K.

Wednesday Jan 29 - 9:00 AM Room 203 FINAL EXAM
Thursday Jan 23: Chapter 5 "quiz"
Wednesday Jan 22: I handed out ACC #2 and ACC #3 (we only did the 2nd question on ACC #2 since the first question is on the review). If you missed class and want to try then yourself, here are the keys. Then we went over a couple of questions from yesterday's 5.5 Assignment (here is the answer key). Then I handed out the Chapter 5 Review to work on for the rest of the class (here is the answer key for that) .
Tuesday Jan 21: we finished up Lesson 5.5. I handed out a 5.5 Assignment that you can start in class and finish up tonight (here is the answer key).
Monday Jan 20: After a quick review of Lesson 5.4, we started Lesson 5.5 in the Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet and had a few minutes to finish up the Chapter 6 test from Friday.
CHAPTER 6 TEST FRIDAY JAN 17th. If you'll recall, we were in the middle of Chapter 5.4 when our tech went ka-blooey. Over the weekend, see if you had managed to finish the 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key), or textbook page 251 #1,5,10,11,13,14. Here is a Desmos file so you can avoid having to type all the data in for a couple of questions on the 5.4 Worksheet.
Thursday Jan 16: we went over the last two examples in the 7.8 section of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet. Then we had time to work on the Review at the end of the booklet (here is the answer key) and work on having our study sheets ready for tomorrow's test.
NOTE: the person who made the answer key for the review at the end of the booklet did #4 in a completely different way than I did in our examples. It's not wrong - it is the correct solution - it's just done with an approach that we didn't use. She used the chart and a graphing calculator without bothering to find the equation (the calculator does that for her). Our method is to find the equation (we can ignore the chart if we want) and grpah that to find the numbers. Here's my solution. If you want to see how I got the numbers, here's my DESMOS file for that question. If you want to see the way that this person got their numbers, here's another Desmos file with their solution.
Wednesday Jan 15: we went over more of the examples in the 7.8 section of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet. I left the last two examples for you to try on your own tonight. We'll go over them tomorrow and then let you have a review day. If you are done all of the textbook assignments you can start working on the review assignment at the end of the booklet.
Tuesday Jan 14: we finished up the 7.7 Lesson from the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet - Solving Quadratic Equations Using the Quadratic Formula. The assignment for this section is textbook page 427 #1-4,7,8,10. Then we did some 7.8 examples. We'll do a few more tomorrow to finish up Chapter 6.
Monday Jan 13: we started by going over a few questions from the page 391 textbook assignment. Then we did a 7.1-7.3ACC (answer key is at the end of the file). After that, did a quick lesson for Chapter 7.5, where we took another look at solving by factoring. This particular lesson is not in the unit notes booklet, so we worked off of loose leaf. The assignment for this section is textbook page 405 #1-4. Since that lesson is pretty short (and we'd seen some of it already) we continued into Lesson 7.7 in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet - Solving Quadratic Equations Using the Quadratic Formula. I left the last three examples of the lesson for you to try, we'll go over them tomorrow. The assignment for this section is textbook page 427 #1-4,7,8,10.
Friday Jan 10: we finished up the examples in the 7.4 lesson (again, it should say that it is 7.6) in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet. Then we had work time for textbook page 391 #1-5, 8,9,11,13 and I added page 417 #1,4,5,8,13. If you are finished these questions, remember that you could spend some time with the EXAM REVIEW.
Thursday Jan 9: we went over a few questions from the page 369 assignment, then we kept going into the 2nd half of the 7.4 lesson (it should actually say that it is the 7.6 lesson) in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet. We didn't quite finish the examples, so we'll finish those up tomorrow. The assignment is still textbook page 391 #1-5, 8,9,11,13. You'll get some work time for that tomorrow.
Wednesday Jan 8: we finished up the last examples in the 7.2 lesson of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet. Then we did the first page of the 7.4 Lesson. For those who are finished the page 369 assignment, the assignment for the 7.4 section is textbook page 391 #1-5, 8,9,11,13. You can get started on it tonight, but you might need to skip a few questions until we finish up the lesson tomorrow.
Tuesday Jan 7: work period for textbook assignment, page 369 #1-15.
Monday Jan 6: Welcome back! We started by going over a few questions from the textbook page 360 #1-3,5,6 assignment. Then we went through Lesson 7.2, pages 6-10 in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet. You can now do textbook assignment, page 369 #1-15. I'll let you have tomorrow's class as work time and save the lesson for 7.3 until Wednesday, since some of the grade 12 students will miss tomorrow's class for their Provincial ELA exam.
Friday Dec 20: just listening to X-Mas music while we have some work time for the assignment that goes with yesterday's lesson: textbook page 360 #1-3,5,6. Normally, I send home an exam review over the X-mas break that students can work on if they want. This year, due to not having access to printing until just a couple of days ago, there is no way to get you a hard copy of it, but if you look directly above this post, you can find a link to a downloadable version of it. Note that there are a few answer key errors listed. Have a great break! See you in the new year on Jan 6th!
Thursday Dec 19: After we went over the skill refresher I handed out the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet and we went through Lesson 7.1. Here is the video of the lesson - if you missed today's class. 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)!
Wednesday Dec 18: Chapter 6 test. If you finish with time to spare, I handed out this skill refresher to sharpen some of the skills form grade 9 and 10 that we'll need in Chapter 7 unit (here is the key).
Tuesday Dec 17: we did a 6.4 ACC (the file here has a key so you can try it and correct it yourself if you missed class), then we went over a couple of the problems from the 6.4-6.6 Homework Assignment (here is the answer key). Chapter 6 test tomorrow. If you are looking for some last minute review, you can try the Ch 6 Self Test on page 347 and the Ch 6 Review on page 349. Before you leave class today, get your study sheet ready for tomorrow.
Monday Dec 16: we went over some of the page 330 and 344 problems together. Then we finished up with some time to work on the 6.4-6.6 Homework Assignment (here is the answer key). We test on Wednesday.
Friday Dec 13: work period for textbook Page 330 #1,2,5 and page 344 #11-14. If you finish those, you can start on this 6.4-6.6 Homework Assignment (here is the answer key). We test next week, Wednesday.
Thursday Dec 12: we went through lesson 6.4-6.6, pages 14-17 of the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. The textbook assignment for this lesson is Page 330 #1,2,5 and page 344 #11-14. You will get tomorrow as a work class for this assignment.
Wednesday Dec 11: we went over a few of the homework problems from page 317. Then we did a 6.2 ACC (the file link has the answer key at the end if you missed class and want to try it for yourself). Then we had time to work on textbook page 323 #1,2,4,7 - you may use DESMOS for all of these and just sketch the result in your notebook to answer the problems.
Tuesday Dec 10: we finished up the rest of the examples in the 6.2-6.3 lesson on pages 11-13 of the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. The assignment for this section is textbook page 317 #1-2 (use paper and pencil) and # 3,5-8,10 (use technology).
Monday Dec 9: First we checked in to see if anyone had any questions about textbook page 303. Then we did a 6.1 ACC (here is the solution). After that, we started going through the 6.2-6.3 lesson on pages 9-10 of the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. The assignment for this section is textbook page 317 #1-2 (use paper and pencil). If you want to try to work ahead, after tomorrow's lesson you will be able to do # 3,5-7 (use technology).
Friday Dec 6: we reviewed the grade 10 skill of solving 2 equations and 2 unknowns using a graph for a few minutes, then we had time to work on textbook page 303 #1-12. For numbers 1-6 use graph paper and pencil to create your graphs. For #7-12, you can use technology (DESMOS) to graph, then just sketch the result.
Thursday Dec 5: it looks like we will be without internet for a while yet, so we will continue into Chapter 6. Today I let the class have time to work on page 303 #1-12. For numbers 1-6 use graph paper and pencil to create your graphs. For #7-12, you can use technology (DESMOS) to graph, then just sketch the result.
Wednesday Dec 4: Day 3 of the internet/network freeze. We finished up the 6.1 Lesson in the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. If the network is back up and running tomorrow, we'll go back to Chapter 5 and save the rest of Chapter 6 for after we write the Chapter 5 test. If the network is still down tomorrow, I'll give you a Chapter 6.1 textbook assignment. You should be bringing graph paper to class from here on in.
Tuesday Dec 3: Day 2 of the internet/network freeze, so we continued into lesson 6.1 in the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. We still aren't finished the 6.1 Lesson, so no homework for Chapter 6 until tomorrow. One last reminder: the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet HAND IN - IS NOW 2 DAYS LATE (you are losing 10% per day here - get it done!). You should be bringing graph paper to class from here on in. For fun: if you want another (animated!) version of the Infinity Hotel (a.k.a the Hilbert Hotel) story that I told you 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).
Monday Dec 2: so...since we are without internet for today (perhaps longer) we will put Chapter 5 on hold and use the time to start Chapter 6. We spent a few minutes reviewing some grades 8-10 graphing rules, then we started the notes and examples for lesson 6.1, pages 1 in the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. No Chapter 6 homework yet, but some of you can use tonight to finish up the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet HAND IN - WHICH IS NOW LATE (you are losing 10% per day here - get it done!).
Thursday Nov 28: I went over a couple of problems from the 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key). Then we did this ACC #1 as a practice quiz (here is the key if you missed class and want to try it yourself). Then I gave the class work time for any of the following: finish up the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet (HAND IN BY MONDAY), the 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key). textbook page 251 #1,5,10,11,13,14. (NOTE: any place in the textbook that it asks for a "frequency polygon", just make a histogram), and the 5.4 worksheet #2 (here is the answer key and here is the Desmos file so you can avoid having to type all the data in).
Wednesday Nov 27: after going over a couple of homework questions from textbook page 233, 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 on any of the following: the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet (HAND IN MONDAY), the 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key), and finally the sheet I handed out today: the 5.4 worksheet #2 (here is the answer key and 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 Nov 26: today 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 are ready to move on from the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet (HAND IN NEXT MONDAY) that I handed out yesterday, the work for this section is this 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key). If you want to see a different explanation of this topic, watch this video. If you finish the booklet and want more practice, you can do textbook page 251 #1,6,13,14.
Monday Nov 25: First, we discussed textbook page 222 #3-5 (here is the Demos file for #3), then we watched this video that shows how to calculate standard deviation. Then we picked up lesson 5.3 in the Chapter 5 Radicals Notes booklet at Example 3. This Desmos file has the data for the first part of the example, but we used the Frequency Table Calculator to do the example more efficiently. The textbook practice for the 5.3 Lesson, which is page 233 #2,5,7,8,14 (try doing #2 with just a table and a regular calculator, so that you are practiced at this for the test). I also handed out the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet . It should be HANDED IN by MONDAY. NOTE: on the hand in assignment, some of the questions say that the data is a SAMPLE. This means that you use the standart deviation formula that is used for a sample and not for the entire population (on Desmos, "stdevp" is for a population and "stdev" is for a sample.
Thursday Nov 21: you have the weekend to work on the assignment from yesterday (page 222 #3-5), but 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. We didn't quite finish the 5.3 examples, so we'll pick it up at Example 3 on Monday. If you finish the questions from page 222 and you want to work ahead, on Monday I'll assign the textbook practice for the 5.3 Lesson, which is page 233 #2,5,7,8,14.
Wednesday Nov 20: 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, 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 one didn't work for a lot of people), 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.
Tuesday Nov 19: after a brief discussion on the page 211 questions from yesterday, 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.
Monday Nov 18: we went through the car battery example on page 5 of the Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet. Then we had time to work on textbook page 211 #1b,d, 2,3. If you finish those, you can work on the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Deductive Reasoning Problems worksheet that I handed out after the test on Friday.
FRIDAY NOV 15: CHAPTER 4 TEST. If you finish with time to spare, I handed out a Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Deductive Reasoning Problems worksheet that you could try. If you finish that and want to work ahead, the assignment for the lesson we did yesterday is textbook page 211 #1b,d, 2,3 - you should be done those for Tuesday.
Thursday Nov 14: 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. We didn't get to discuss the final example about the car batteries, so I told the class to do the data entry themselves and we'll go over it on Monday. Here is a video of the lesson in case you need to see the online or TI instructions again (or you were absent). The online Statistics Calculator we used in class is this one here at Calculator Soup.
Wednesday Nov 13: we went over a couple of textbook page 183 #1-4,6-9,12,13,17 problems together. Then I assigned page 194 #3,5,6,8,9,10,16. If you finish those in class with time to spare, you can start on the Chapter 4 Self-Test on page 198, if you finish that and feel that you need more review, there is the Chapter 4 Review on pages 199-200. We'll start chapter 5 tomorrow and we'll test Chapter 4 on Friday.
Tuesday Nov 12: we went over a couple of questions from page 13 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet then some time was given to finish textbook page 183 #4,6-9,12,13,17. If you finished that, you can start on page 194 #3,5,6,8,9,10,16. We'll be testing Chapter 4 on Friday.
Friday Nov 8: we lose this class to the Rememberance Day Ceremony. I think the ceremony will take the entire period, but if I'm wrong about that, you can just keep working on page 13 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet and textbook page 183 #1-4,6-9,12,13,17.
Thursday Nov 7: we went over the two example problems on page 15 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet (if you want to check your answers here is a key). Then had time to work on page 13 of the notes and textbook page 183 #1-4,6-9,12,13,17.
Wednesday Nov 6: We went over the solutions to the 4.2 ACC from yesterday. If you missed class today and want to try it for yourself, here is the key. Then we continued into part 2 of the 4.3 lesson on pages 11,12 and 9 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet (the pages are in the wrong order). Then I gave the rest of the class to work on the problems on page 13 of the booklet (here is the answer key) and textbook page 183 #1-4,6-9,12,13,17. . If you want to see a different explanation of this topic check out this video. If you missed today's class you can find a link to a lesson video above the updates.
Tuesday Nov 5: we started with a check in to see if anyone was stuck on any of the page 172 problems. Then we went through the first part of the 4.3 lesson on pages 7-8 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet. We'll finish the lesson tomorrow. Then we did this 4.2 ACC, which we will correct together tomorrow. Anyone who finishes the ACC can start on textbook page 183 #1-4, I'll add to that assignment after tomorrow's part 2 of the 4.3 lesson. If you missed today's class you can find a link to a lesson video above the updates. CHECK OUT THE VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE EDSBY PAGE. It concerns this letter that I sent home today.
Monday Nov 4: we started with checking in to see if anyone needed help with any of the questions on the More 4.1 Practice worksheet (here is the answer key). Then we did this 4.1 ACC (if you missed class and want to try it for yourself, here is the key). Then we had a little more time to work on textbook page 172 #3-15. We will do a practice quiz on those questions tomorrow.
Friday Nov 1: we went over a few questions from the 4.1 textbook assignment. For more practice on this topic I handed out a More 4.1 Practice worksheet (here is the answer key). Then we went through lesson 4.2 in our Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet. The homework for this section is textbook page 172 #3-15. This, together with the 4.1 practice is a fair bit of work, so I will give you some time on Monday (but not much). 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.
Wednesday Oct 30: we went over the last question from Monday's Congruent Triangle Activity. Then we went through most of lesson 4.1 in our Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet. I left some of the examples on the last page of the lesson for you to try tonight. We'll go over them tomorrow. If you are ready to move on, the homework for this section is textbook page163 #1-3. I'll assign it officially tomorrow. If you want to play with the interactive unit circle for yourself, here is the link.
Monday Oct 28: 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).
Thursday Oct 24: we went over a few problems from the page 147 assignment from yesterday. Then we had time to work on some review for next Tuesday's Chapter 3 test: textbook pages 152 and 154. I also encouraged the class to take some time this period to work on the study sheet that they are allowed to bring in to the test.
Wednesday Oct 23: we went over #10 on page 11, the last example of Lesson 3.4 in the Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet. Then we went over a couple of questions from the Bearing Problem Practice page. After that, students had work time for textbook page 147 #3-5,8-10.
Tuesday Oct 22: we started 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. Then we did pages 9-11, Lesson 3.4 in the Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet. Today's homework is to finish #10 on page 11 of the notes. Also, you can keep working on the Bearing Problem Practice page. If you want to work on the next assignment, it is page 147 #3-5,8-10. You will get some work time for that tomorrow.
Monday Oct 21: we started with a 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 likely fail the next test. Then we went over the last 3.3 example on page 8 of your Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet. With the last few minutes, we went over some questions from the textbook page 137 assignment together. For tonight, see if you can do more of the Bearing Problem Practice page. We'll go over a few of those on Wednesday.
Friday Oct 18: work period for textbook page 137 #2-5, 7,8,10,13,15. If you finish all of that (and you are looking for a challenge) my guest teacher handed out this Bearing Problem Practice page. I'll assign it officially next week. Have a great weekend.
Thursday Oct 17: we went over a couple of the homework questions from textbook page 124. Then we went through Lesson 3.3 in the Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet. where we talked about what we can use if there isn't enough information to use the Sine Law. This lead us to derive the formula for the COSINE LAW and do the examples in the booklet. The 3.3 assignment is page 137 #2-5, 7,8,10,13,15. I'll let you have tomorrow as a work period for it.
Wednesday Oct 16: we had time to work on the assignment from yesterday, textbook page 124 #2-17. If you don't finish it in class, then you have some homework to do. Then, before the end of class, we had a quick review of some algebra and bedmas topics that will come in handy for tomorrow's lesson.
Tuesday Oct 15: we finished up the examples from the 3.2 lesson in the Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet we also did #9 from page 126 of your textbook together. I also handed back the Chapter 2 test and we discussed it a bit. The full assignment for lesson 3.2 is: textbook page 124 #2-17. I'll give you work time tomorrow.
Friday Oct 11: We wrapped up our discussion of the page 114 problem from yesterday. Then we went over a couple of questions on the Right Angle Trigonometry Review booklet. Then we started the first lesson in our new Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet. It was missing this page, so I handed it out seperately. We derived the formula for the SINE LAW and learned how to use it. Your homework for this part of the lesson is textbook page 124 #2-5. You'll get some work time on Tuesday, but I will be adding more to the assignment when we finish the lesson.
Thursday Oct 10: we finished up the lesson handout from Tuesday's class, then we had some time to work on the Right Angle Trigonometry Review booklet. The answer key for the review booklet is at the front of this file. We ended class by using a scale diagram to try to solve the problem on page 114 of the textbook together.
Wednesday Oct 9: Chapter 2 test. If you finish with time to spare, work on the Right Angle Trigonometry Review booklet that I handed out yesterday. The answer key for it is at the front of this file.
Tuesday Oct 8: we went over some problems on the 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the answer key), the 2.4 Review and the Chapter 2 review. Then we ended class by starting a SOHCAHTOA review using this lesson handout and I handed out this Right Angle Trigonometry Review booklet for you to work on if you finish the test early tomorrow. Bring a protractor to Friday's class if you have one.
Friday Oct 4: We checked to see if anyone had any problems with the textbook assignment from yesterday. Then we did a quick overview of the chapter together and I dropped the news that you can bring a piece of paper with ANYTHING you want on it to the test next week. Reminder that you have a 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the answer key) and the 2.4 Review (here is the key) to work on. I also handed out this Chapter 2 review for you to work on over the weekend (OMIT #17-21,30,32 - these are Chapter 3 questions). On Tuesday, we'll go over any problems you may have had on these reviews. If you want even more review for next week's test, go to the textbook's Chapter 2 Self-test and Chapter 2: Chapter Review.
Thursday Oct 3: We finished the 2.4 lesson in the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package. The assignment for that is textbook page 99 #1-3,6,7. This assignment isn't very big, you should be done it for tomorrow. Then we watched this video. If you finish the page 99 assignment, I handed out a 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the answer key) and a 2.4 Review (here is the key) for you to work on. The Chapter 2 Test will be Tuesday.
Wednesday Oct 2: We started class by going over a few homework questions from the textbook page 90 assignment, then we did a mini-quiz (ACC) for 2.3. Then we started the 2.4 lesson on pages 19-20 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package. We'll finish the lesson tomorrow. 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 2.4 homework from yesterday. We'll use Friday as a review day and test Chapter 2 on Tuesday.
Tuesday Oct 1: we finished the 2.3 examples on pages 17-18 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package. Then we had time to work on the assignment, textbook page 90 #2-5,7,10,13,14,15. If anyone finished that, they can work on the 2.1 and 2.2 Practice Booklet to work on for the rest of the period (here is the answer key). If anyone is finished both of these things, I will give them a 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the key for that) to work on.
Friday Sept 27: started by going over a few problems from textbook pages 72 and 78. Then we did 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. Then we 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, but if you want to get started on the next assignment, it's textbook page 90 #2-5,7,10,13,14,15. If the practice quiz didn't go so well for you, spend some time this weekend reviewing the XFZC theorems!
Thursday Sept 26: work time for Textbook Page 72 #2,5,6 and page 78 #1,2,4,17,20. If you finish that, I handed out 2.1 and 2.2 Practice Booklet to work on for the rest of the period (here is the answer key).
Wednesday Sept 25: we finished up the notes on the 2.1 and 2.2 Lesson in the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package. Then we had a little time to work on Textbook Page 72 #2,5,6 and page 78 #1,2,4,17,20. I'll give the class more time tomorrow.
Tuesday Sept 24: Chapter 1 test today. If you finish with time to spare, you can work on your measuring skills on the pages we skipped in yesterday's lesson in the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package.
Monday Sept 23: we spent a few minutes going through questions from the 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 in class tomorrow (after the test), or on your own. Then we started notes for lessons 2.1 and 2.2, on page 10. If you missed today's lesson, the filled in version of the notes package is here. We'll pick up where we left off on Wednesday, since we are testing Chapter 1 tomorrow.
Friday Sept 20: Another day, another SET GAME. Then I went over the last three examples in the Chapter 1 Notes Package and a few problems from the page 43 and 49 assignment from yesterday. To help you get ready for Tuesday's first test, I handed out a review booklet. Here is a solutions/answer key for everything after the 1.1 section (which has its own key in the booklet).
Thursday Sept 19: Thursday Sept 19: Another day, another SET GAME. I also explained how to do Sudokus and the premise of the Tax Collector problem. Then we finished up the examples from 1.6 in the Chapter 1 Notes Package, but I left the last three for you to try - we'll go over them tomorrow. The next assignment is textbook page 43 #5,6 and page 49 #2-4,6-11,14. If you need a little break from the textbook questions, I handed out a practice Sudoku, (here is the key), and the 5-Triangle Puzzle, or the Logic Problem (here is the key), or the Tax Collector problem (here is the solution).
Wednesday Sept 18: After today's SET GAME, we solved this problem from yesterday. Then we did some examples from section 1.6 in the Chapter 1 Notes Package. We'll finish that lesson up tomorrow.
Tuesday Sept 17: We played another round of the SET GAME. We figured out how this webpage is "reading your mind". Then we finished off the Lesson 1.5 examples on page 15 in the Chapter 1 Notes Package. Then we had time to work on textbook page 31 #1-5,7-15 and page 42 #2,3,5,7,9,10. In addition to the 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).
Monday Sept 16: we started by showing people how to play the SET GAME. Then we finished up lessons 1.4 in the Chapter 1 Notes Package, and then we started looking at Lesson 1.5. The new assignment is textbook page 31 #1-5,7-15 and page 42 #2,3,5,7,9,10. This is a larger assignment, so I'll give you time tomorrow to work on it after we finish up Lesson 1.5.
Friday Sept 13: we went over textbook page 17 #2 and page 22 #1,3,4. Then we started the 1.4 notes in the Chapter 1 Notes Package. We didn't quite make it to the end of the lesson, so no homework tonight. Did anyone figure out how this webpage is "reading your mind"? We'll talk about that Monday.
Thursday Sept 12. We started by going over the last example for section 1.2 (on page 7) and then we went through the notes for section 1.3 in the Chapter 1 Notes Package. The assignment for this section is textbook page 17 #2 and page 22 #1,3,4. I gave the class time to work on these. We'll talk about them tomorrow. See if you can figure out how this webpage is "reading your mind"
Wednesday Sept 11: we started by going through the textbook assignment from yesterday:
page 13 #2,8,9,11. Then we solved the chord/circle/region problem on page 5 of the notes. Then we defined "Deductive Reasoining" and I told a couple of historical stories about this kind of math thinking. We started the notes for lesson 1.2 in the
Chapter 1 Notes Package, but didn't quite finish. For tonight, see if you can come up with a conjecture for the last 1.2 example at the top of page 7.
Tuesday Sept 10: we started with a discussion of 8^x vs 9^(x-1) problem from yesterday. What was your conjecture? Then we started the notes for lesson 1.1 of our Chapter 1 Notes Package. Your first real assignment is: try to come up with a conjecture for the chord/circle/region problem on page 5 of the notes and then do textbook page 13 #2,8,9,11. You should finish these questions for tomorrow. If you want to learn more about the climb to a prime game from yesterday, here is a video with a professional mathematician talking about it.
Monday Sept 9: We started by seeing if anyone was still stuck on anything from the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package (here is the ANSWER KEY). Then we looked a little closer a the HOTPO game from last week, which we will now call the Collatz Conjecture. Then we played the climb to a prime game, which leads to 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. After all that fun, we ended with this problem that I want you to ponder for tomorrow: is 8^x always going to be larger than 9^(x-1) for ANY value of x?
Friday Sept 6: I gave some hints for solving the questions on the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package. On Monday, we'll wrap up any other problems you may be having with it, so try to have all of its questions attempted by then. Then we went back to the HOTPO game from yesterday. Your only homework for the weekend is to finish the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package. Here is the ANSWER KEY. 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!
Thursday September 5: Welcome to Grade 11 Applied Math! Here is the course outline. Here is a grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package just to refresh some old skills while I assign textbooks and get to know you a little bit. You can work on it tonight, but if you don't finish it, we'll have some time in class tomorrow and finish looking at it on Monday. The questions on the grade 10 (and earlier) skill review package should be things you already know how to do, but don't panic if you need a little bit of refresher on those skills. Beyond that all we did today is talk about some of our favourite numbers and played a little round of HOTPO. For tomorrow, be prepared to come in with your favourite two-digit number and we'll spend a little more time with that game.
