Friday Feb 7: I had my guest teacher read out the answers to the rest of the Geo+Trig Workbook - Practice Lesson 1 (pages 2 and 3).  If you missed class and still need to correct your work, here is that answer key. After that my guest teacher handed out this Pythagoras Practice Sheet and this SOHCAHTOA (Right Angle Trigonometry) worksheet (here is the answer key) to work on for the rest of class.  The Pythagoras page has an answer key on the back, but if you want to see full solutions, look here.

Thursday Feb 6:  we started with another SET game.  Then we had some time to work on  Geo+Trig Workbook - Practice Lesson 1 and we corrected the first page together.  Then we did a quick summary of all of the things from lesson 1 that you need to know.  If you are still working on pages 2 and 3, try to finish them tonight.

Wednesday Feb 5: we finished up Example 11 on page 5 of the Geometry and Trigonometry Notebook and I did an "example 12" on the board that wasn't in your notes.  Then I handed out the first four pages of the  Geo+Trig Workbook - Practice Lesson 1 and people got started working on it.  The answer key is at the back of the booklet (Question #1 has a mistake in the answer key - it should be 9 not 3!).  We lost quite a bit of our class time to a fire drill, so we'll have some time to finish it tomorrow.  You NEED a scientific calculator for class from now on. 

Tuesday Feb 4: we started with another round of the SET game.  Then we picked up back at Example 3 on page 3 of the Geometry and Trigonometry Notebook .   We finished to the end of Example 10 on page 5, we will pick it up from there tomorrow.  If you want to try Example 11 yourself, go for it!  Our first official assignment will be tomorrow.

Monday Feb 3:  Welcome to Grade 12 Essential Math!   Today we went over a course outline and got ourselves thinking about shapes and geometry by playing the SET game.  We are going to start this course with a unit on Trigonometry, which hopefully you remember a little bit from grades 10 and 11. I handed out the first four pages from our first unit note booklet:  Geometry and Trigonometry Notebook . We went through page 2 and Examples 1 and 2 on page 3.  We started Example 3, see if you can finish it for tomorrow.
