Good luck!
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 Jan 22: we just had work time for the Exam review. See you Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 PM in room 201 for your exam. Please remember to bring your textbooks!
Wednesday Jan 21: I handed back the Chapter 7 test and a progress report so you can see your term mark heading into the exam. I also handed you a formula sheet that will be the same as the one I will give you on exam day - YES you can still bring in a study sheet on exam day, with whatever you want on it - but you get the formula sheet, too so hopefully that saves you some room for other notes. The class today was time to work on the EXAM REVIEW. If anyone has worked through all of the exam review and wants more practice, go to the textbook: 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, and in Chapter 5, ignore any questions that mention "confidence intervals".
CHAPTER 7 TEST TUESDAY JAN 20
Monday Jan 19: Work time for the Chapter 7 Review at the back of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet (here is an answer key). If you finish that and you are looking for more review to do tonight before your test on Wednesday, the textbook has a Chapter 7 Review, and a Chapter 7 Self Test you can go through.
Friday Jan 16: We started with this 7.6 practice quiz (this file has the key at the end). Then we went over a few page 436 textbook problems together and had time to work on the problems on pages 23-29 of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet (here are answer keys). Then we went over most of them. If you missed class, you can watch this video of me going over some of the problems. If you finish that, you can work on the Chapter 7 Review at the back of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet (here is an answer key). I'll let you have Monday as a work class for this and we'll test Chapter 7 on Tuesday. 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 next week, I will just use the same ones from the last report card (unless, of course, I feel like they need changing).
Thursday Jan 15: We started by going over some page 427 questions. Then we finished up 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,and here is a link to the recording of the lesson. The 7.8 assignment is to do the notebook pages immediately after the 7.8 lesson (here are answer keys), then do 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).
Wednesday Jan 14: we went over some of the page 405 problems together, then we went back to the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet and started the notes and examples for Lesson 7.8 - Solving Quadratic Equations Using Quadratic Models. Then we had some time to work on textbook page 427 #1-4,7,8,10. If you are finished those and are ready to move on, do page 436 #1,3,5,7,8,9. If you missed today's class, here is a link to the recording of the lesson (we made it up to the 36 minute mark of the video). Please note that the video is a few years old and DESMOS now has an easier way to do regression lines - just use the :/. symbol to the left of the chart. Also, you can skip the graphing calculator parts of the lesson.
Tuesday Jan 13: 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. Remember that you also have page 405 #1,3,6,8,13 to work on as well. 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.
Monday Jan 12: we started by doing this 7.4 practice quiz (here is the key for it), then we finished up the 7.5 lesson (again, it's not in the notes so we used loose leaf). The assignment for this section is page 405 #1,3,6,8,13 (you can use Desmos to help you with #8 and 13). You will have some work time in class tomorrow. If you are finished all of that, try textbook page 398 #1,2,4,5,7-12. You can use Desmos to help you with any or all of these.
Friday Jan 9: we corrected the 7.1-7.3 Practice Quiz, then we went over some of the page 391 and 417 problems together. Then we did a lesson for chapter 7.5 where we learned how to find the vertext from standard form using 2 different methods. There is more to the 7.5 lesson but we'll do that on Monday. This section isn't in the notes booklet, so we used loose leaf. If you missed today's class, you can watch this video and this video - they're different examples than the ones I did in class, but the concepts and skills are the same.
Thursday Jan 8: We started by going over the textbook examples on pages 384 - 388. Then, just to make sure people have a good grasp on the basics, we did this 7.1-7.3 Practice Quiz, then we had more work time for page 391 #1-5, 8-15,19,20 and 417 #1-5, 8,10, 11,13.
Wednesday Jan 7: I had a guest teacher in, so it was a work period for textbook page 391 #1-5, 8-15,19,20 and 417 #1-5, 8,10, 11,13. Try to do as much as you can without Desmos, but you are expected to use Desmos for page 417 #8 and 13, so I booked the laptop cart for you to use during this class. It's a big assignment, so I will give you some more time tomorrow to finish it up and won't move on to the next lesson until Friday.
Tuesday Jan 6: we started by going through the rocket example on textbook page 373. Then we went back to the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet and did the 7.4 and 7.6 Lessons on pages 13-14. The assignment for this section is textbook page 391 #1-5, 8-15,19,20 and page 417 #1-5, 8,10, 11,13. I'll give you work time tomorrow for that.
Monday January 5: Welcome to 2026 and the home stretch! After a quick review of what we have learned about quadratics so far (we used page 369 #4 and 5), we went through some of the questions from the last assignment from before the break: Page 360 #1-6, Page 370 #6, 8-10, 12-15 and Page 379 #1,4,7,9. We finished the class by looking at the example on textbook pages 366. No new assignment yet - so if you need to, you can get caught up on the page 360, 370, and 379 question sets. Of course, at this point, I would highly recommend that any time you don't have any pending Applied Math homework to consider, you should work on the EXAM REVIEW PACKAGE.
Friday Dec 19: no new lesson today. Have a great X-mas break!
Thursday Dec 18: enjoy your snow day! First one in a few years. We won't do an actual lesson tomorrow, so if you can't make it in, have a great break and we'll see you in the new year. We'll say that you should be done textbook Page 360 #1-6, page 370 #6,8-10, and Page 379 #1,4,7,9 for Monday, January 5th.
Wednesday Dec 17: we went over the last two examples on page 11 of the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet and learned a new algebra trick we can use when graphing technology is not available and the quadratic won't factor. Then I added the 7.3 assignment: Page 379 #1,4,7,9 to the assignment from yesterday. 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 Dec 16: we finished the 7.2 lesson in the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet, except for the last two examples on page 11, which we will go over tomorrow. The assignments for this lesson are on textbook 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, but I will be adding more questions.
Monday Dec 15: CHAPTER 6 TEST - if you finish with time to spare, you can work on Page 360 #1-6. I also handed out the EXAM REVIEW . See the links above for the answer keys (and note the typos listed!).
Friday Dec 12: Last chance to ask any Chapter 6 questions before Monday's test. In today's class, we continued with Chapter 7 and started 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, the 7.1 textbook assignment is Page 360 #1-6. 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)!
Thursday Dec 11: we went over a couple of the questions from the 6.4-6.6 Homework assignment (here is the answer key) and the Chapter 6 Review (here is the answer key). If you want more practice before the test on Monday, I recommend you try the questions in the textbook's Ch 6 Review, or the Ch 6 Self Test. Then in class, I handed out the Chapter 7 Quadratics Notes Booklet and we went through Lesson 7.1. No chatper 7 assignments yet.
Wednesday Dec 10: we went over some questions from the textbook page 330 and 344 assignments, as well as the 6.4-6.6 Homework assignment (here is the answer key). After that I handed out this introduction to refresh some of the skills from grade 9 and 10 that we'll need in Chapter 7 (here is the key).
Tuesday Dec. 9: work time for the Page 330 #1,2,5 and page 344 #11-14 assignments. My guest teacher also handed 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. If you finished those, my guest teacher handed out this Chapter 6 Review (here is the answer key).
Monday Dec 8: we started with 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 finished up the last 6.4-6.6 Lesson example on the last page 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. I'll give you some more work time for this tomorrow.
Friday Dec 5: we finished up the page 12 example and went over the page 13 example from the the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. Then we went through lesson 6.4-6.6, on pages 14-16. I left the last example on page 17 for you to try for Monday. After that it was work time. If you are done the page 317 assignment from yesterday, then this example is your only homework this weekend.
Thursday Dec 4: We started by going over a few of the page 303 questions. Then we did this 6.1 ACC (here is the solution). After that we went through the 6.2-6.3 lesson on pages 9-12 of the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. I'll leave the example on page 13 for you to try tonight. The assignment for this section is textbook page 317 #1-2 (use paper and pencil), # 3,5-7 (use technology) but you will get work time for this on Monday.
Wednesday Dec 3: we started by going over the solutions to examples 2 and 3 on page 8 of the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. That finally brings us to the end of Lesson 6.1. Then we had some time to work on textbook page 303 #1-5,9,10,12. Then we went through the Grade 10 graphing review in this handout. If you aren't finished the page 303 assignment, it is homework.
Tuesday Dec 2: 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 a few minutes of work time for textbook page 303 #1-5,9,10,12. While some students got to work on this assignment, I had some students re-try a couple of questions from the chapter 5 test (it had a couple of typos that I missed on one version). I'll give you some more work time tomorrow after part 2 of the lesson.
CHAPTER 5 TEST MONDAY DEC 1
CHAPTER 5 ONLINE CALCULATOR APS: DESMOS, Caclulator Soup (for MMMR), Histogram Generator (for making a histogram from a frequency table, Frequency Table Calculator (for finding MMMRS from a frequency table)
Friday Nov 28: First we did a check-in to see if anyone had any questions about Assignment 5.5 or the Chapter 5 Review before we test on Monday (answer keys for both of those are in the posts below). Then we continued Lesson 6.1 in the Ch 6: Systems of Linear Inequalities Notes Booklet. If you missed the class start this video at the 16 minute mark, then stop at the 38 minute mark. We still haven't finished off the 6.1 lesson, so no homework for it yet. That gives you the weekend to keep studying for the Chapter 5 test. See posts below for links to reviews and answer keys.
Thursday Nov 27: WE MOVED THE TEST TO MONDAY. In class, 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 Monday's Chapter 5 test.
Wednesday Nov 26: We used the school laptops to do this practice quiz and then this practice quiz (the files have answer keys if you missed class today). Then we had time to finish up the Assignment 5.5 handout (here is the answer key) from yesterday. When you finish that, work on the Chapter 5 Review that I handed out today. Here is the answer key for the problem on the first page of the review and here is the answer key for the rest of the booklet. If you are done the review and you crave more practice for Friday'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.
Tuesday Nov 25: we started class by seeing if anyone had any questions about the two 5.4 worksheets or the page 251 textbook assignment. Then 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 work on this Assignment 5.5 handout (here is the answer key). I'll give you more time to work and hand out a review for the unit tomorrow.
Monday Nov 24: Happy Fibonacci Day (yesterday)! 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 keep working on textbook page 251 #1,5,6,10,11,13,14.
Friday Nov 21: we went over a couple of questions from the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet (here is the answer key). Then 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 the 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key) that I handed out yesterday and this worksheet 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.
Thursday Nov 20: we started with this video that shows us how the normal distribution links to other areas of math and discussed some strategies for questions from the Page 233 assignment (5.3), #2,3,5,7,8,9,14. Then we had some work time. Then I did #1 from the 5.4 Normal Distribution Part 1 Worksheet (here is the answer key) that I handed out today as another example. We had the rest of the class to work on the rest of the worksheet. If anyone is finished it and wants to move on, the next assignment is textbook page 251 #1,6,13,14. I'll add more questions to that textbook assignment after tomorrow's lesson.
Wednesday Nov 19: we used the school laptops to work on the 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet. Here is the answer key so that you can check your work. If you finish with time to spare, make sure that you have finished up page 233 #2,5,7,8,14.
Tuesday Nov 18: 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. Then we had time to work on the assignment from yesterday, page 233 #2,5,7,8,14. If anyone is finished that, I handed out this 5.1-5.3 Practice Booklet. I'll give you some time to work on it tomorrow.
Monday Nov 17: after checking in to see if anyone was stuck on the 5.2 questions, we went through the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Deductive Reasoning Problems worksheet. Then we went through 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 tomorrow you should be finished the assignments from Friday and the day before (page 211 #1b,d, 2,3, the5.2 Histogram homework sheet, 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.
Friday Nov 14: 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 DESMOS. To save some data entry time, here is the Desmos file that I used. The assignment for this chapter is textbook page 222 #3-5 (use technology for all of these) and this 5.2 Histogram homework sheet (do this one by hand) - here is the key for the worksheet.
Thursday Nov 13: 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 DESMOS. Here is the DESMOS data for today's example 1. After that, we did a histogram by hand using the grid on page 10 of the notes booklet . Then we used technology to do the same histogram. 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 omit page 11 from the booklet and replace it with the handout), so I handed out this page to add to your notes booklet). We will conitnue from there tomorrow. No homework yet - you can keep working on the Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Deductive Reasoning Problems worksheet. If you missed today's class, here is a video of the lesson.
Wednesday Nov 12: We looked at the solutions for page 211 #1-3. Then I handed out a Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Deductive Reasoning Problems worksheet to work on for the rest of class. We won't go over it until Monday, so have it done for then.
Friday Nov 7: I had a guest teacher today, so we used this video lesson to go through lesson 5.1: Exploring Data, covering pages 2-5 in the Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet. This is pretty much a review of concepts from grade 8, but now we focus on using technology to help us manage the data. The online Statistics Calculator we used in class is this one here at Calculator Soup and for graphing, we used DESMOS. To save you some typing during the lesson, here is the DESMOS file with the data for example 2 and here is the DESMOS file with the data for example 3. The assignment for this lesson is page 211 #1-3. You should be done these for next Wednesday, so you might have a little bit of homework for the long weekend. I would use DESMOS for #1 and 3 and Calculator Soup for #2. Have a great (extra long) weekend, everyone!
CHAPTER 4 TEST THURSDAY NOV 6
Wednesday Nov 5: we lose part of this class to the University Fair, so I handed out the Chapter 5: Statistical Reasoning Notes Booklet and discussed how the class will work on Friday. Whatever other time we have, I will just let the class have more time to get ready for tomorrow's Chapter 4 test. Get your study sheet ready and then work on the Chapter 4 Self-Test on page 198 and the Chapter 4 Review on page 200. We did a tech test for Friday's class. See if you can open DESMOS and Calculator Soup.
Tuesday Nov 4: we went over page 13 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet (here is the key for that if you missed class and need to go over it on your own), and a couple of the questions from pages 183 and 194. If you are looking for more review before the test, you can try the Chapter 4 Self-Test on page 198 and the Chapter 4 Review on page 200. If you can do all of those, you will be ready for Thursday's test. Get your study sheets ready!
Friday Oct 31: Happy Halloween! Today was work time for page 13 of the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet (here is the key for that), textbook page 183 #1-4 and page 194 #2,3, 9,10. CHECK OUT THE VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE EDSBY PAGE. It concerns this letter that I sent home today. We will test this unit next week Wednesday.
Thursday Oct 30: we went over the 4.2 ACC, from yesterday. Here is the answer key in case you missed class and want to try it for yourself. Then we had time to work on 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. I will give you tomorrow's class as work time to finish this. We will test Chapter 4 on Wednesday. Also, in class today, 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 Friday, I will just use whatever code pops into my head.
Wednesday Oct 29: We started by going back to the Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet. and finished up example c on page 12, then we went through another 2-solution ambiguous triangle, the d example on page 9. Then we went over some of the page 172 questions, then we did this 4.2 ACC, which we didn't get time to go over. We'll correct it at the start of tomorrow's class. Anyone who finished the ACC had time to work on #1-4 on page 13 of the notebook. I'll give you work time for those tomorrow. If you finish those, you can start on textbook page 183 #1-4, I'll add to that assignment tomorrow.
Tuesday Oct 28: we started with time to work on Page 172 #3-15. These should be done for tomorrow. 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 two examples (c on page 12 and 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.
Monday October 27: we went over the Reference Angle Worksheet and a few of the textbook page163 #1-3 and Page 172 #3-15. Then we did this 4.1 ACC (if you missed class and want to try it for yourself, here is the key). I handed out this More 4.1 Practice worksheet (here is the answer key) if you want one more practice on this topic. Then we went through lesson 4.2 in our Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet. The 4.2 assignment is Page 172 #3-15. I'll give you some work time tomorrow.
Thursday Oct 23: we started by finishing off lesson 4.1 in our Chapter 4: Trig Ratios of Obtuse Triangles Notes booklet. The 4.1 assignment is textbook page 163 #1-3. 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 lesson. We also did this Reference Angle Worksheet. If you want to play with the interactive unit circle that I used in the lesson, here is the link.
Wednesday Oct 22: 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 tonight. We'll go over them on tomorrow. If you want to try the homework for this section, it is textbook page163 #1-3. I'll assign it officially tomorrow.
Tuesday Oct 21: Chapter 3 Test - if you finish with some time to spare, you can try the last diagram in yesterday's Congruent Triangle Activity. After that, 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.
Monday Oct 20: 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).
Friday Oct 17: Work time for Page 147 #3-5, 8-10. If you finish that, work on some review from textbook pages 152 #1-8 and 154 #2-12 and get started on making the study sheet that you will be bringing into Tuesday's test.
Thursday Oct 16: We went over a few questions from Tuesday's page 136 assignment. Then 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. Then we finished up the last couple of examples in Lesson 3.4, pages 10-11 in the Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet. The assignment for 3.4 is Page 147 #3-5, 8-10. I'll give you some work time for these problems tomorrow. If you have your own protractor and ruler, bring them for Monday's class.
Wednesday Oct 15: after handing back and going over the Chapter 2 test, we started with work time for the textbook page 136 questions from yesterday. After that, we started the examples pages 9-11, Lesson 3.4 in the Chapter 3: Using Trigonometry to Solve Acute Triangles Notes Booklet. If you are finished the page 136 assignment, today's lesson assignment is textbook page 147 #3-5,8-10. You will get some work time for it tomorrow after we finish up the examples on notebook pages 9-11.
Tuesday Oct 14: after going over a few of the page 124 textbook problems, we started by having students try this 3.2 ACC ( Acute Sine Law) ( the file has a key ). Then we went back to the last two pages of Lesson 3.3 in 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. I'll give you some time to work on this assignment tomorrow.
Friday Oct 10: we started by going over some of the questions in the textbook page 124 #2-17 assignment. Then we finished up the examples on pages 7-8 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. You should be done #1-7 for Tuesday and I'll give you some work time on Tuesday to do the rest. Have a great long weekend.
Thursday Oct 9: after a few minutes of work time for the page 124 assignment from yesterday, 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.
Wednesday Oct 8: After checking to see if anyone had any questions about the Right Angle Trig Practice sheet (here is the answer key), then we did a 3.1 ACC. After that, 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 lesson is textbook page 124 #2-17. I'll give you some work time for this assignment tomorrow.
Tuesday Oct 7: Chapter 2 Test. Anyone who finished with time to spare can work on this Right Angle Trig Practice sheet. Here is the answer key.
Monday Oct 6: One last chance to ask questions about the homework or reviews from Chapter 2 before we test it tomorrow. Then we finished up the notes and examples in the Chapter 3 Introduction - Right Angle Trig Review Notes. After that, I handed out this Right Angle Trig Practice sheet. Here is the answer key. You should have this done for Wednesday. Bring it with you tomorrow and you can work on it if you finish the Chapter 2 test with time to spare.
Friday Oct 3: I handed out a Chapter 2.4 Review, which we did as a little practice quiz (if you missed class, here is the key to correct it). After a quick go-over of the 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. No new homework so you can spend time this weekend getting ready for Tuesday's Chapter 2 test (make a study sheet!)
Thursday Oct 2: I gave the class some work time for page 99 #1-3,6,7.
If anyone is finished that, I will give them a 2.1-2.3 Review (here is the key for that) to work on. We test this chapter on Tuesday. If you finish the handout review, you can find textbook review on page 104 #1,2,4-6 (self test) and page 106 #2-5,7-11 (chapter review)Wednesday Oct 1: started class by going over a few homework questions from the textbook page 90 assignment, 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 Monday. 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 Thursday as a review day, start Chapter 3 on Friday and Monday, and then we'll test Chapter 2 on Tuesday.
Tuesday Sept 30: No school today - Truth and Reconciliation Day
Monday Sept 29: 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 finished up the 2.3 lesson on pages 17-18 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package. The rest of the class was work time for the 1.3 assignment, textbook page 90 #2-5,7,10,13,14,15. You should be done this for Wednesday. Remember that there is no school tomorrow.
Friday Sept 26: we went over some of the page 72 and 78 questions, Then we did this 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 started the notes for Chapter 2.3 on pages 16-18 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package. We will finish them on Monday. For your homework this weekend, see if you can finish the "proof" of the NON-adjacent Interior Angle Theorem that we started in class today.
Thursday Sept 25: we started with a line drawing activity with an interesting result, then we watched this video.video. After that, we went back to the notes for the last page of Chapter 2.2 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package. Then we had some time to work on the assignment from yesterday, Textbook Page 72 #2,5,6 and page 78 #1,2,4,17,20. Those need to be done for tomorrow. If anyone is interested in watching the rest of the cartoon I showed you a clip from today, here is the link.
Wednesday Sept 24: we went back to the notes for Chapter 2.1 and 2.2, on pages 10-15 of the 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.
Tuesday Sept 23: Chapter 1 Test. The test likely won't take most people the entire period on Monday, so if you finish with time to spare, you can work through the examples we didn't do on pages 2-8 of the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package.
Monday Sept 22: When I scheduled the Chapter 1 test for today, I COMPLETELY FORGOT about the Lockdown thing that has been scheduled for 2 PM today, so I have moved the test to tomorrow and today I handed out the Chapter 2: Properties of Angles and Triangles Notes Package and we went through some of the introductory section, pages 2-8 together. I'll leave it to you to decide if you need more practice on these measurement skills. If you think you do, you can finish the rest of the examples that we didn't get to for homework. If you feel you're good, don't worry about them. Then we started to go through notes for lesson 2.1 and 2.2, on page 10. We'll continue that on Wednesday.
Friday Sept 19: First, we went through a lockdown safety power point. Then, after going over some of the 1.6 questions together, we had a few minutes to work on the Chapter 1 review questions that I handed out yessterday. Our class was cut short by the Terry Fox presentation. Chapter 1 test on Monday - don't forget that you can make yourself a study sheet.
Thursday Sept 18: We lost a few minutes of this class to the bus ridership drill. We went over some of the last 4 questions from the 1.6 notes in our Chapter 1 Notes Package. Then we had some time to work on the textbook page 49 problems from yesterday. Then I handed out this Chapter 1 Review Booklet to help you get ready for our Chapter 1 test on Monday. I have an answer key for the 1.2 to 1.6 sections of the review here, while the 1.1 section has its own key. Bring a protractor to class tomorrow.
Wednesday Sept 17: We started by watching a very exciting bus ridership video and then did a problem known as the Tax Collector problem (here is the solution). Then we finished off the last pages of the 1.6 lesson in the notes booklet. The assignment for this lesson is to finish the last 4 examples in the notes booklet and do textbook page 49 #2-4,6-11,14. If you need a little break from the textbook questions, you can play with the 5-Triangle Puzzle I handed out yesterday. I'll give you more time to finish the textbook questions tomorrow. If you are finished the textbook and want to spend the rest of your class time on puzzles, here is a Logic Problem (here is the key) and this practice Sudoku, (here is the key).
Tuesday Sept 16: we started by revisiting the webpage that "reads your mind". Then we went over some of the questions from the page 42 assignment from yesterday. Then 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. No new assignment tonight, we will finish up lesson 1.6 tomorrow.
Monday Sept 15: we started by looking at two famous proofs of the pythagorean theorem: Bhaskara's and Garfield's. Then went over a few of the page 23 and 31 questions together. Then we finished our discussion for chaper 1.5: Invalid Proofs and looked at why 2 in fact does NOT equal 0! Then we looked at the webpage that "reads your mind" and looked for the deductive logic that allows it to work. My new challenge for you is to detemine the flaw in this 'proof' that seems to suggest that 64=65 (if that link does not work for you, here it is on YouTube). If you enjoyed that puzzle, you can try this 5-Triangle Puzzle that I handed out. The assignment for section 1.5 is page 42 #3-5,7,9,10. Our Chapter 1 test will be 1 week from today.
Friday Sept 12: we went over the examples at the end of the 1.4 lesson in the Chapter 1 Notes Package that I left for you to try. Then we had some 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 Monday. After that 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 Monday and your only homework for the weekend is to finish the page 23 and 31 textbook questions (if you didn't finish them in class) and try to find the mistake or reasoning error in the last example we did (or did we really just prove that 2=0 !?). We ended with something fun, see if you can figure out how this webpage is "reading your mind". We'll discuss it on Monday. We also watched this video to see an example of students your age found a new proof of a very old theorem.
Thursday Sept 11: we took one last look at the rest of the Essential Skills Review to see if there were any questions where people were stumped on how to get the answers. Then we had time to work on textbook questions: page 17 #2 and page 22 #1,3,4. Then we went back to the Chapter 1 Notes Package and went through the examples and notes for Lesson 1.4. I left you with the examples at the end of the lesson to try for yourself - we'll correct them at the start of tomorrow's class. 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 start it tonight if you want, but I will give you some work time for it tomorrow.
Wednesday Sept 10: I started with a story about my favourite number and solved the climb to a prime conjecture. Then we explored what looked like a simple pattern problem (but looks can be decieving!). Then we went over the a-e examples at the end of lesson 1.3 in the notes booklet. Reminder that you still have textbook assignment Page 17#2 and Page 22 #1,3,4 - I'll give you some more class time to work on those tomorrow and say they are due for Friday. Reminder that as much of the Essential Skills Review as you can manage should be finished for tomorrow (here is the answer key) .
Tuesday Sept 9: we started by talking about our favourite numbers. I love all numbers, so it's hard for me to pick just one favourite, but right now, I'd have to say that it's 13 532 385 396 179. Then we solved the triangle problem on page 4 of the Chapter 1 Notes Package.. Then we solved the circle cord problem for page 5. After that, we continued into the notes and finished up lessons 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 up to page 9. Then we looked at the climb to a prime game, which lead to these 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. Then I assigned you to finish the a-e questions at the end of lesson 1.3 in the notes booklet for tomorrow. After that, our first textbook assignment of the semester, Page 17 #2 and Page 22 #1,3,4. I'll give you some time to work on them tomorrow.
Monday Sept 8: We went through some hints on how to do the rest of the Essential Skills Review and went over any of the questions from #1-7 that students in the class felt stuck on. We'll go over the rest of that booklet on Thursday, so cool if you can get it all done for then (here is the answer key). After that, I handed out the Chapter 1 Notes Package and we did some notes about Conjectures (lesson 1.1). I left you with a couple of problems to consider for homework: first, there's the last couple of examples of lesson 1.1 of the notes package (pages 4-5) and one from the board: is 8^x always going to be larger than 9^(x-1)? Make a conjecture. We'll decide if your conjecture is true or false tomorrow.
Friday Sept 5: we started by finishing our look at the course outline. Then I gave the class some hints with some of the questions on the Essential Skills Review. Your only homework this weekend will be to try to solve the rest of #1-7 from that review. Feel free to see how much of the rest of the review you can finish on your own, but don't panic if you need to wait to see me do more examples on Monday. Here is the answer key. Have a great weekend.
Thursday Sept 4: Welcome to Grade 11 Applied Math! Here is the course outline. We played a couple of games with 2 digit numbers (and learned about 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! No homework due tomorrow on the first day, but I did hand out this Essential Skills Review, that will be homework for Monday - if you are keen to work ahead.
