(ANSWER KEYS HERE: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) - watch for typos on: Ch 3 #5d (it factors to 1/4(x+8)^2+4, they factored out the 1/4 incorrectly), Ch 9 #7, Ch 2 #6 (wrong answer circled), Ch 6 #3 should say x can't equal -5 not -2.
Thursday Jan 22: For the last class of the semester, we just had time to work on the exam review. See you Tuesday afternoon at 1:00 in room 203 for your Mid-Term exam. Bring your calculators - part of the exam allows you to use them. Also, please bring your textbooks to turn in.
Wednesday Jan 21: OPTIONAL RE-TEST DAY. If you finish early (or chose not to re-test any outcomes) it is work time for exam reviews.
Tuesday Jan 20: I handed back your Chapter 8/9 Test and a Progress Report so you can see what your term mark is before your final decision on what you want to re-test tomorrow and you hand in THIS PAGE by the end of class. You should bring your Exam reviews in with you tomorrow. If you are re-testing outcomes, you may have time at the end of the period and if you aren't re-testing anything, you have the entire period to work on review.
CHAPTER 8 & 9 TEST MONDAY JAN 19
Friday Jan 16: Review day! We started by going over some of the page 484 and 496 questions, then we did a Chapter 9 Mini Quiz , (here is the answer key). Then we let people have work time for the reviews at the end of the two chapter notes booklets (here is a key for page 19 of the Chapter 9 booklet). If you finish those and want some more review this weekend, I handed out this Chapter 8 & 9 Practice test (here is the answer key). 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).
Wednesday Jan 14: we went over page 7 of the Chapter 9: Inequalities Notes Booklet, then we did our 2nd last lesson of the course, 9.2 on pages 8-10 of the Chapter 9: Inequalities Notes Booklet. The homework for this lesson is to do the "you try" examples on page 11 of the notes, then textbook page 484 #1,2,4,7,9,10,15,16. Reminder, you still have the page 472 assignment from yesterday.
Tuesday Jan 13: we started by correcting page 3 and pages 8-9. After that I handed out the Chapter 9: Inequalities Notes Booklet and we went through pages 2-6. The homework for this lesson is to do the "you try" questions on page 7 of the notes, then go to textbook page 472 #1,3,4,9-11,15,16. I'll give you some work time for this tomorrow. Reminder, you also have the 8.1 and 8.2 assignments: page 435 #2,3,4 (a,b,d), 6-9 and page 451 #1,2,3 (choose 2), 4 (choose 2), 5b. ANNOUNCEMENT: In the second last class of the semester on Jan 21, you will have the opportunity to re-test ANY 3 of the outcomes for the course that you want - or you can choose to use the class to study. I will provide more information in class. If you choose to take us up on the re-test offer, you must hand in THIS PAGE by next Tuesday. Finally, I handed out an ALTERNATE FINAL EXAM REVIEW, if anyone happened to finish
the first one over the Xmas break.
Monday Jan 12: CHAPTER 7 TEST. If you finish with time to spare, you can work on the 8.1 and 8.2 assignments: page 435 #2,3,4 (a,b,d), 6-9 and page 451 #1,2,3 (choose 2), 4 (choose 2), 5b.
Friday Jan 9: We started with two 7.4 ACCs (the file here has keys at the end). Then we went over page 20 in the Chapter 7 Absolute Value and Reciprocal Functions Notes Booklet and did a quick review of how to write piecewise functions. Then we did the 8.1 and 8.2 lesson on pages 6-7 of the Chapter 8: Systems of Equations booklet. The assignment is to finish the examples on pages 8-9, then go to textbook page 435 #2,3,4 (a,b,d), 6-9 and page 451 #1,2,3 (choose 2), 4 (choose 2), 5b. You can work on this Monday if you have time after the Chapter 7 test.
Thursday Jan 8: we went through the ACCs for 7.3- the file here has keys), then we went over some of the page 403 questions, and then I looked at a couple more examples for finding reicprocals of quadratic functions. For fun I handed out this page of Reciprocals of Higher Degree functions for you to try. The file has an answer key and you can use this Desmos file to check your work as well. Then I handed out the Chapter 8: Systems of Equations booklet, working through pages 1-2. I'll leave it for you to do the review questions on pages 3-5, but we won't go over them until Tuesday. We're testing Chapter 7 on Monday, so for tonight, you should finish up the reviews on pages 18,19,21-22, and 30-36 of the Chapter 7 Absolute Value and Reciprocal Functions Notes Booklet. Here is the key for page 30. TYPOS: page 31 #1d is missing two answers: 1+or-sqrt14 and a typo for page 31 #2avi: it should be -6 not 6. And on page 32 #2d, the -2 answer is extraneous.
Thursday Dec 18: enjoy your snow day! First one in a few years. We'll say that textbook page 389 #1-6, 15,19,20,22,23 is due for Monday Jan 5th! We don't have an actual class tomorrow due to the afternoon X-mas concert, so if I don't see you, have a great break and we'll see you in the new year.
Monday Dec 15: we corrected pages 5-6 in the Chapter 7 Absolute Value and Reciprocal Functions Notes Booklet. Then we did pages 7-8 as a warm up and corrected those too. The we did the 7.1 Lesson on pages 3-4 and the 7.2 Lesson on pages 10-12. The homework for this section is page 363 #1-6 and Page 375 #1-13,16,18. I'll give you work time tomorrow.
Thursday Dec 11: CHAPTER 6 RATIONAL ALGEBRA TEST
Wednesday Dec 10: I started the class taking requests from all of the problem solving worksheets I handed out on Monday. Then I gave the rest of the class time to finish them or work on the reviews before we test tomorrow. If you are finished the reviews I handed out on Tuesday, you can find more practice on textbook pages 352-355
Friday Dec 5: we with started this 6.3 ACC (key is in here). Then we continued by going over a couple of page 24 and 27 questions from the Chapter 6 - Part B Booklet. Then we continued into today's lesson, section 6.4: Part 3, pages 28-29 in the Chapter 6 - Part B Booklet. The practice for this section is in the textbook. Page 349 #5,9,10,12-15, so that is your homework for Monday. If, over the weekend, you want more practice at the algebra, there are the textbook questions listed at the bottom of page 27 that you can try.
Thursday Dec 4: we went over a couple of questions on pages 19 and 20, in the Chapter 6 - Part B Booklet, but I'll leave it to you to correct the rest on your own from the key at the back of the booklet. After that, we started on the 6.4 lesson, finishing up parts 1 and 2 on pages 21-23, 25-26. Your assignment for this section is booklet pages 24 and 27.
Wednesday Dec 3: we went over page 14 in the Chapter 6 - Part B Booklet, then we did the rest of the lesson 6.3 examples on pages 16-18. Your homework for tonight is pages 19 and in the notebook. If you finish that, try some of the homework questions from the textbook: Page 336 #6-10,12. I'll give you some time tomorrow to work on that textbook assignment.
Tuesday Dec 2: we started by going over page 10, then we did a 6.2 ACC - the key is in here if you missed class and want to try it for yourself. Then we continued into today's lesson, section 6.3: Parts 1 and 2 in the Chapter 6 - Part B Booklet, covering pages 11-13, 15-16. The assignment for the Part 1 section is page 14 in the notes booklet. Have that done for tomorrow. After that, tomorrow we will finish the rest of the 6.3 notebook examples, move into 6.4 and assign pages 19, 20, and 24 for Monday.
Monday Dec 1: we started by correcting the #1-7 practice questions on page 8 and the #1-9 Practice questions on page 11 of the Chapter 6 - Part A booklet. Then we did lesson 6.2 in the Chapter 6 - Part B Booklet, where we will learn to multiply and divide algebraic rational expressions. The assignment for this section is page 10 of the Chapter 6 - Part B Booklet (but the answer key at the back calls this page 15). If you want more practice, try some of the textbook assignment from the bottom of the page. We finished up the class with a 6.1 ACC - the key is here if you missed class and want to try it for yourself.
RADICALS (Chapter 5) TEST FRIDAY NOV 28. If you finish with time to spare you can work on the #1-7 practice questions on page 8 and the #1-9 Practice questions on page 11 of the Chapter 6 - Part A booklet. If you finished all of those, you are homework free this weekend!
Thursday Nov 27: I handed out our Rational Expressions and Equations notes packages: Chapter 6 - Part A and Chapter 6 - Part B. Our lesson today is the 6.1 lesson on pages 7-10 (there are no pages numbered 1-6) of Booklet A on simplification and finding non-permissible values of rational expressions. If you are working through any of the lessons for this unit on your own, you can download the key for all of the examples in both booklets here. The assignments for this lesson are the #1-7 practice questions on page 8 and the #1-9 Practice questions on page 11 of the booklet. The textbook questions listed at the bottom of page 11 are optional - if you feel that you need more practice, give them a try. The answer keys for the notebook pages are at the back of the Part B booklet.
Tuesday Nov 25: We took one last look at the two page 292 questions that (I am pretty sure) are both wrong in the answer key (#22 and #26). Then we went over a few questions from page 21 of the notes booklet and #1 and 2 on the Radical Challenge Problems sheet - we also linked that #2 problem back to the last question on your Chapter 4 test. Be skeptical of the mystical nonsense attributed to phi. Phi is cool, but here is a rational look at it's actual significance. After that discussion, we had time to finish up the page 300 assignment, or work on reviews at the back of the notes package to prepare for Friday's test. As part of the review process, I handed out a Radical Problems and Applications worksheet for you to try (here is the key).
Monday Nov 24: Happy Fibonacci Day (yesterday)! We started by going over some page 289 questions. Then we had some work time for page 21 in the notes booklet and textbook page 300 #1,3-11,14,15,18-20,26. The notes booklet page 21 must be done for tomorrow - you can have until Wednesday for the page 300 problems. If you finish that, you can start on the reviews from pages 21-27 of the booklet, or you can try these Radical Challenge Problems (if you scroll to the end of the file there is an answer key). We will look at #1 and 2 of that sheet together tomorrow.
Friday Nov 21: we started by going over some of the page 289 questions (remember that this assignment is due for Monday) and we corrected pages 19 and 20 in the Chapter 5 Radicals Notes booklet. For a fun end to our Friday class we watched this video. We will test chapter 5 on Friday of next week. We didn't get work time today, so on Monday I will give you work time for page 21 in the booklet and textbook page 300 #1,3-11,14,15,18-20,26.
Thursday Nov 20: we went over some of the textbook page 278 questions. Reminder that you still have the page 289 questions to finish (page 289 #1-11, 13, 14, 17, 20, 22, 23, 26) - I'll change those to being due for Monday. Then we went through the 5.3 Lesson on Solving Radical Equations in the Chapter 5 Radicals Notes booklet, pages 18-29. I left the "You Try These" questions at the bottom of page 19 and all of page 20 for you to do for homework for tomorrow. After we go over those tomorrow, I will give you work time for page 21 in the booklet and textbook page 300 #1,3-11,14,15,18-20,26.
Wednesday Nov 19: we went over the "You Try" questions on pages 12, 15-17 of the Chapter 5 Radicals Notes booklet. The rest of class was time to work on textbook page page 278 #1-6, 8-11,14,15,17, 20-23 (due tomorrow) and page 289 #1-11, 13, 14, 17, 20, 22, 23, 26 due for Friday.

The assignment is to do the "You try" questions on pages 7 and 9 of the booklet and then Textbook page 278 #1-6, 8-11,14,15,17, 20-23. Both "You Try" pages should be done for Tuesday, you can have until Wednesday for the textbook. You may have some time after the Chapter 4 test on Monday to work on them.
Wednesday Nov 13: I went over some of the questions from last week's textbook assignments with the class. Then I handed out an R5 Applications Booklet to work on for the rest of the class. We start the new unit tomorrow, but I will give you until Monday before we test R1 (factoring) and R5 (Applications of Quadratics)
Friday Nov 7: I had my guest teacher hand out this ACC 4.5, which the class did as a little practice quiz to prepare for next week's test. After 15 minutes of work time, they handed out the key so you could correct your work and see how you would have done if this had been your test. The file link has its own key if you missed class and want to do this for yourself. After that, it was work time for any of: page 254 #1-12,14,15,17-19,22, page 258 #4,5, page 259 #10,11,16,17, page 260 #20-22, and page 262 #11-14. Have a great extra long weekend!
Thursday Nov 6: we went through the second part of Lesson 4.4, pages 10-13 in the Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet. The assignment for this section is page 258 #4,5, page 259 #10,11,16,17, page 260 #20-22, and page 262 #11-14. Reminder that you also have the assignment from Tuesday: page 254 #1-12,14,15,17-19,22. Tomorrow will mostly be a work period.
Wednesday Nov 5: we lose some of this period to the Universty Fair. Once we got back I went over the last couple of examples in the first part of lesson 4.4 that we didn't finish yesterday. Then I let the class have work time for page 254 #1-12,14,15,17-19,22.
Tuesday Nov 4: we started by seeing if anyone had any questions about the page 215 and 241 assignments. Then we went through the first part of Lesson 4.4, pages 10-13 in the Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet. The assignment for this section is page 254 #1-12,14,15,17-19,22. We'll add to that assignment after Thurday's part 2 of the lesson.
Friday Oct 31: Happy Halloween! I gave the class work time for page 215 #5,8-10,12 (using DESMOS) and page 241 #6-12. I also handed back the chapter 3 test and we looked at it a bit. Finally, we did one more (special) complete the square example.
Thursday Oct 30: We went over a few questions from the 229 textbook factoring assignment. Then we did a quick lesson where I reminded people how to solve quadratics by completing the square - that's all we need for the 4.3 section of the chapter. The assignment for this section is textbook page 241 #6-12. You can spend the rest of class working on this and the page 215 #5,8-10,12 DESMOS assignment from yesterday.
Wednesday Oct 29: After going over the solutions to page 8 of the Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet together, we spent a few minutes looking at how to graph quadratics using DESMOS and a TI graphing calculator using some examples from this handout. The assignment for this section is textbook page 215 #5,8-10,12. I'll give you some work time for it tomorrow. Remember that we are expecting you to use DESMOS to graph these questions. We didn't finish the last example on the handout, so I will leave it for you to finish tonight and we will go over it tomorrow. Reminder that you should also be finished page 229 #1-12,16-18,21,24,26,30 for tomorrow. 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.
Tuesday Oct 28: We watched and discussed this video. Then I handed out our Chapter 4 - Quadratic Equations Notes booklet and we started the chapter by reviewing and expanding our grade 10 factoring skills. This got us through pages #1-7 of the booklet. I'll leave the examples on page 8 for you to try for tomorrow. If you need practice with these skills, remember that last week I handed out this trinomial factoring practice page. There is also a textbook assignment on page 229 #1-12,16-18,21,24,26,30 (due Thursday). I'll give you some work time tomorrow after we do our 4.1 lesson. For tomorrow's lesson, bring a device to class that can open DESMOS. For the students on the nature hike today, you can find videos of today's lessons here (part 1) and here (part 2).
Thursday Oct 23: we lost today's class to the pep rally. GO CENTURIANS!
Wednesday Oct 22: We started another practice quiz - this time on 3.3 (there is a key at the end of the file). Then we went over a few questions from yesterday's practice quizes and today's practice quiz. Then I let the class have time to work on the textbook page 192 assignment from yesterday. Anyone who is finished that can start on the "In Class Review" at the end of the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package. There is a typo on #4, it should read "change to VERTEX form". Here are answer keys for them. If you are looking for more practice there is a review and a practice test in the textbook at the end of chapter 3. I also handed out a 3.1-3.2 Multiple Choice Quiz (the file has a key at the end) to give you a little multiple choice practice before the test next week (watch out for the typo in #1!).
Monday Oct 17: After checking to see if there are any questions of about textbook pages 157 and 174, we moved into lesson 3.3. I made some slight alterations to the notes on pages 23-24, so I handed out a revised version of those two pages before we began. Your assignment for the rest of class is to finish the examples on pages 26-27. You can check your own answers using Desmos, but we'll go over them in class tomorrow. After that, the next assignment is textbook page 192 #1-12,16,20. I'll give you some work time for that tomorrow.
Friday Oct 14: Work time for textbook page 157 #1,2,4,6-10,12,13,15,18 and page 174 #1-14,19,21-23.
Thursday Oct 13: Today we went over the last two examples of lesson 3.1b on page 16, then we did the 3.2 lesson in the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package. This takes us up to the end of page 19 in the notes booklet. The homework for these lessons are textbook page 157 #1,2,4,6-10,12,13,15,18 and page 174 #1-14,19,21-23. I'm giving you tomorrow as work time for these.
Wednesday Oct 12: Today we did most of the 3.1b lesson in the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package. This takes us up to the end of page 15 in the notes booklet. I left the examples on page 16 for you to try - we'll go over them tomorrow and then do the summary on page 17. The homework for this lesson is textbook page 157 #1,2,4,5a,6-10,12,13,15,18, but you don't have to start that until tomorrow. I'll be adding to that tomorrow, but then you will get some in-class work time.
Tuesday Oct 11: Sine Law and Cosine Law test. For anyone who finished early, I handed out this trinomial factoring practice page. I won't officially assign it until next week.
Friday Oct 10: Last call for any 2.3 or 2.4 problems before Tuesday's test. Then we finished up the last examples on the page 3 function review before going through lesson 3.1a on pages 5-10 of the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package and discussing what makes quadratics so darned important that it takes up two chapters of the course. We're not ready for new homework yet, so you can spend time this weekend getting ready for Tuesday's Sine and Cosine Law test. Reminder that if you want more review, you can try the review and practice test on textbook Pages 126-130. Maybe spend a few minutes this weekend considering if you are interested in writing the CSMC or the COMC - registration deadlines for both are on Tuesday. Start bringing some graph paper to class for next week.
Thursday Oct 9: we checked to see if anyone has any homework issues from pages 108 or 119. Then we did the 2.3-2.4 Mini Quiz (the file link has a key). Then I handed out some Trig problems from old grade 12 Essential Math exams. The file here has a key if you missed class. If anyone is looking for more Sine or Cosine Law practice to work on over the weekend, there is review and a practice test on textbook Pages 126-130. We ended the class with we did the first 3 pages of the Chapter 3 Quadratics notes package, covering a brief review of functions. No homework for that.
Wednesday Oct 10: I let the class have work time for the page 108 and 119 assignments.
Tuesday Oct 7: after going over a couple of textbook page 108 questions, we did the notes and examples for lesson 2.4: Cosine Law, on pages 24-25 of the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. Example 23 has a typo, the bottom line should be 75 units. The assignment for this section is textbook page 119 #1 - 6,7, 10, 12, 17,23, 24, 26, 29. I'll give you work time tomorrow.
Monday Oct 6: we finished up our discussion of the Congruent Triangle Activity. (if you missed last class and need instructions on how to do it, work your way through this power point). Then after a quick check to see if anyone was having trouble with the page 108 assignment from last week, we did the Lesson 2.3B notes on pages 21-23 of the the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page108 #6-9,11, 17,23.
Friday Oct 4: we did the Congruent Triangle Activity. I don't have a video for this activity, but if you missed class and want to try it for yourself, you can work your way through this power point that goes step by step on drawing the triangles. Your only new homework for this activity are the two questions I left you with at the end of the activity. Reminder that you should be done textbook page 108 #1-5, 10, 12, 13, 15,18, 20 for Tuesday. Have a great weekend!
Thursday Oct 2: Ch 2.1 and 2.2 (Outcomes T1 and T2) Test today. If students finished with time to spare, students can work on the textbook page 108 assignment from Monday (due for this coming Monday). Bring a protractor and a ruler to tomorrow's class.
Wednesday Oct 1: We went over some of the page 96 assignment questions together. Then we did the 2.2 Practice Quiz and this 2.2B Practice Quiz. If you are looking for last minute practice for tomorrow's test, you could always try the following review questions in the textbook: page 126 #1-10 and page 129 #1-3, 6. Bring a protractor and a ruler to Friday's class. If you want to re-watch the video I showed in class, here is the link.
Tuesday Sept 30: no school today. Truth and Reconciliation Day
Monday Sept 29: I gave the class some time to work on the page 96 assignments from Friday and the Trig Equations Worksheets . If anyone is already finished all of that, there is 2.1 and 2.2 review on textbook page 126 that you can start. After some work time, we did the notes on Lesson 2.3A, pages 19-20 in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 108 #1-5, 10, 12, 13, 15,18, 20, but you don't have to be done this assignment until next week, so please keep your focus on Thursday's T1 and T2 test (make sure you know your unit circle!). Reminder that we test Chapters 2.1 and 2.2 Thursday. Also reminder that there is no school tomorrow.
Friday Sept 26: we started with a unit circle activity, then we went through Lesson 2.2.2 on pages 16-17 in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 96 #1-16,18,21-24,29 (this is the combination of the two assignments from pages 15 and 17 of the notes booklet) and these Trig Equations Worksheets that I handed out. Get some of this done over the weekend, but I will give you some work time on Monday.
Thursday Sept 25: We started by seeing if anyone wanted me to go over any of the Page 83 questions from Tuesday's assignment together. After that, we went through Lesson 2.2.1 on pages 14-15 of the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this lesson is page 96 #1-6,11,12-15, 22-24. I'll add to that assignment after tomorrow's lesson. Reminder that you also have the Exact Values of Trig Ratios worksheet you should do for extra practice (you could save that for the weekend if you want).
Wednesday Sept 24: We started by going over some questions from the page 83 assignment from last Thursday together. Then we did a 2.1.1 practice quiz (key attached). After that we had time to finish the rest of the page 83 assignment: #8,10 -13, 22,23 and I handed out this Exact Values of Trig Ratios worksheet. If you can get all of these correct with no calculator or notes to help you, then you have this mastered.
Tuesday Sept 23: we kept on rolling through lesson 2.1.3, pages 10-12 of the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 83 #8,10 -13, 22,23. I will give you some time tomorrow to work on this and say that it needs to be done for Thursday. If you want to play with the Interactive Unit Circle, here is the link. Reminder that page 83 #1-7,9,15-17, 20 should be done for tomorrow.
Monday Sept 22: we looked at some very special triangles, and then we went through Lesson 2.1.2 on pages 7-9 in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. We need to keep going in the notes booklet before tackling the next homework assignment, but remember that the 2.1.1 lesson from Thursday had an assignment from textbook page 83 #1-7,9,15-17, 20. I'll let you work on that a bit tomorrow and say that it's due for Wednesday.
Friday Sept 19: we lose this class to the Terry Fox Run. See you on Monday!
Thursday Sept 18: I handed out the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. We went through the Lesson 2.0 Trigonometry Review on pages 2-3. From this refresher, you should be able to finish the Right Angle Trigonometry Review (here is the key) that I handed out yesterday. Then we continued through lesson 2.1.1 in the in the Chapter 2: Trigonometry Notebook. The assignment for this section is textbook page 83 #1-7,9,15-17, 20. I'll give you until Monday to get this assignment done (and finish up the Right Angle Trigonometry Review (here is the key).
Wednesday Sept 17: R9 and R10 TEST. If you finish with time to spare, I handed out this Right Angle Trigonometry Review (here is the key) that you can work on. If you need some refreshers on how to do the trig, don't panic - we'll review that in tomorrow's lesson.
Tuesday Sept 16: Tuesday Sept 16: we went over a few 1.5 homework problems. Then we did the 1.5 Mini Quiz. Then I gave the class some time to work on the reviews that I handed out yesterday. If you blaze through those and want more practice, go to the Review and Practice test pages at the end of Chapter 1 in the textbook. There's plenty of practice questions in there. Here (finally) is the answer key for the Number Sequence Activity. If you want to see a video about the See-and-say sequence, here it is. Test tomorrow.
Monday Sept 15: we went back to lesson 1.4 in the Sequences and Series booklet to go through how to read sigma notation, then jumped back to lesson 1.5 and finished the two examples that we didn't go through on Friday. Then I gave the class some time to finish up the 1.5 assignment from Friday, or work on these handouts: a Chapter 1 Skill Practice Review and a Chapter 1 Word Problem Review. The files linked here have answer keys, but there are a couple of errors: on the Chapter 1 Skill Practice Review: #2c, should read: " #9a should be 1400, #13a should be -7174454. #13b is NOT a bad question, it fits on my calculator just fine and the answer rounds nicely to 125. Chapter 1 Word Problem Review: #7 should be $12564.89 (if you call $1000 T1, then you are solving for t11). We spent a few munutes at the end of class looking at the biggest controversy in math over the last 20 years or so.
Friday Sept 12: we went over some of the page 53 homework problems, then we did the 1.4 Mini-Quiz. Then we did the 1.5 Lesson in the Sequences and Series booklet. This included a discussion of Zeno's Paradox. The assignment for this section is textbook page 63 #1-5-8,11, 12, 14, 15 , 19, 20. This should be finished for Monday, but I'll give you 20 minutes or so of class time to work.
Thursday Sept 11: Then we went over some problems from the page 39 assignment from yesterday, then we did the the 1.3 Mini-Quiz. Then we had some time to work on page 53 #1-6, 8,10,11,13,15-19. If you don't finish the questions in class, finish it tonight for homework.
Wednesday Sept 10: we did the 1.2 Mini Quiz. Then I gave the class some time to work on yesterday's page 1.3 homework on textbook page 39 #1-10, 12, 13, 18, 20, 22, 23, 26, 27. Then we did the brief lesson for the 1.4 section of the Sequences and Series booklet. If you finish the page 39 assignment and want to work ahead, the 1.4 assignment is page 53 #1-6, 8,10,11,13,15-19. I'll assign it officially tomorrow.
Tuesday Sept 9: we started with the 1.1 Mini Quiz from the booklet I handed out today of Chapter 1 Mini Quizzes. Please DON'T do the rest of those quizzes for homework! They are meant to be done in class as practice for the upcomming test. If you missed class and want to do it yourself, the answer key is at the end of the file link. Then we did the 1.3 lesson in the Sequences and Series booklet. The assignment for this section is textbook page 39 #1-10, 12, 13, 18, 20, 22, 23, 26, 27. I'll give you some more class time for this assignment tomorrow. For anyone who is breezing through this stuff and is saying to themselves, "hey, I signed up for honours math because I wanted a challenge" - I have just the thing for you: I handed out a Number Sequence Activity. I won't hand out an answer key for it until Monday in case you want to try to solve some of it over the weekend. I don't expect anyone to solve all of these questions! Think of it as a challenge or puzzle - NOT as curricular expectations! If you enjoy this sort of challenge, you'll love participating in the math contests this year!
Monday Sept 8: we checked to see if anyone had any other issues with the Grade 10 Skill Review. Today is the last time we'll go over the old skills in class, so after today, if you are still struggling with these skills, you should consider coming in over noon hours to do some remedial work so you can be successful in this course going forward. After that we checked in to see if anyone was stuck on any of the page 16 homework questions that I assigned on Friday, we will do a practice quiz on this lesson tomorrow. Then we went through Lesson 1.2 in the Sequences and Series booklet. The homework is textbook page 27 #1-7, 9,10,12,14,16,19,23. I'll give you some time in class to work on this tomorrow.
Friday Sept 5: We finished our look at the course outline and I fielded a few more questions about the question on the grade 10 skill review sheet, then we looked at Lesson 1.1 in the Sequences and Series booklet. The homework for Monday is textbook page 16 #1-11,15,19,21,24,25. Also, Monday will be the last time I use class time to help you understand how to do the material on the grade 10 skill review sheet, so make sure you have tried it all by then.
Thursday Sept 4: Welcome to Honours Pre-Calculus! Here is the course outline and an overview of the curriculum. Here is a Grade 10 Skill Review, just to refresh some skills while I hand out your first notes package, the Sequences and Series booklet, as well as your textbook. The questions on the Grade 10 Skill Review should be things you already know how to do, but don't panic if you need a little bit of refresher on those skills (definitely panic and run, don't walk to your counselor if you can't do any of it!). If you want to work on it some more tonight, great - but if you want to finish it up over the weekend, we'll go over it on Monday.
