Day 43

Note: One step equations and formulas: The goals is to isolate the variable or solve for the variable. When adding or subtracting, bring the number across the equal sign and change the sign. When the variable is divided by a number multiply both sides by that number. When a variable is multiplied by a number, divide both sides by that number.

Day 42

Midterm for Chapters 1, 6 and 7

GOOD LUCK!

Day 41

Took up SOH CAH TOA tests

Continue with work on chapter 6 and 7 practice tests.

Day 40

Review: Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 practice tests were assigned.

Day 39

Building and using a transit: Today we built a clinometer in class and used it to measure the angle of elevation so that we could calculate the height of some objects around the school. We looked a the flagpole, lamp, exterior wall of school, tree, hallway wall, student square wall, football uprights.

Assignment: Students need to draw a labelled diagram and calculate the height of the object using trigonometry. Don't forget a concluding statement.

Day 38

Work Period

Today the class worked on page 240: #1-17 and page 282: #1-12. These are the practice tests from the textbook and both will be handed in for marks. Remember to use all your old notes, quizzes, homeworks assignments, etc., to help you with these practice tests.

Day 37

Test Day! Trigonometry Test: Remember SOH CAH TOA

Day 36

Took up page 276: #2, 3, 4 as a class.

Students were assigned page 281: #1-6 as a review for the test on Friday.

Day 35

Note: Apply Trigonometry: Angle of Elevation and Angle of depression were discussed and used in the 2 example questions we did as a class.

Assignment: Page 276: #2, 3, 4

Day 34

We worked on page 271 #1-16 and then took up a majority of these questions.

Assignment: page 272: #17-21

Day 33

Note: Cosine: cosine = adj/hyp

Assignment:Page 271: #1-16

Quiz on Sine

Day 32

Assigned page 265: #17-20

At the end of class we took up all these questions.

Day 31

Quiz on tangent ratio

Assignment: Finish page 264: #1-16

We took up page 264: #1-16

Day 30

Note: Sine Ratio: Sine of an angle= opposite/hypotenuse
All the same procedures and rules apply from the tangent ratio but now we
are using the sine ratio instead.

Assignment: Page# 264: 1-16

Day 29

Today in class we took up questions #14, 15, 16, 17 from page 256.

Assignment: Page 256: #18, 19, 20, 22, 23

Day 28

Anecdotal Day

Today in class the journals, review test and chapter 6 test were handed back to students. We took up the chapter 6 test.

Hot Deal!
The review test was actually only out of 40 and each student can come explain to me what they did wrong or point out three silly errors for 3 extra marks. You must be able to show me how to do the question on your own.

Also the for the chapter 6 test you can get up to 8 extra marks on the last page. You must be able to show me and prove to me that you know how to do the last two questions on the test.

Anecdotal marks are an approximation of the level you are at. Thus far we only have about ten entries in and therefore every marked assignment significantly impacts the overall grade.

Note: Tangent Ratio: we did one example of a tangent ratio question.

Assignment:pg 256: 15, 16, 17

Have a great long weekend!

Day 27

Snow Day, the busses are cancelled.

Day 26

Note:In class today we did a short note on Trigonometry. The key thing that you need to know is SOH CAH TOA.

Girls Basketball and Boys Volleyball, Goodluck!

We are moving onto the next chapter. Today in class we reviewed the sum of interior angles law for triangles:

"The sum of interior angles must add up to 180 degrees"
