We had a quiz on lesson 6.5 today. My hope is that by marking it together in class we had a chance to do some review for our upcoming test on Monday next week. Please make sure you get some homework done tonight on 6.7 (non-linear systems) as I'll be quizzing that tomorrow. Good luck and bring any questions you may have to class tomorrow.
Today we took some more time with Lesson 7. As many of you found out it requires you to be really comfortable with the previous topic of the quadratic formula. Please make sure you complete as much of your homework as possible this weekend as we will be having a quiz on Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
Another homework quiz today took up much of our class. But as we marked it together and discussed part marks I felt as though we are understanding the process of solving linear equations just based on how easily we were able to discuss each of the steps. We'll be having a few more of those in the days to come as well.
One of the questions on our quiz today was a word prolem requiring you to determine the linear equations yourselves. Today's lesson (#6) consists entirely of these problems. What's important to remember here is the difference between being able to solve a system of linear equations and being able to determine the equations described in the problem. Be sure to take a look at the assignment tonight so that we can see how you're doing with the new skill.
The link above (when you click the title) will take you to a solver program that will let you enter your equations and find a solution immediately. I might try this site for making up some new questions! Good luck.
We started module 7 today. 'L' shared some of what he already knew of probability and we looked at our first porbability law in lesson 2. Finish lesson 1 and complete as much of 2 as you can.
Today we took a look at developments in Canada up to 1929. Of note was the foreign investment of money from the United States into harvesting Quebec resources, The "Alberta Five" getting women recognized as persons under the law, the subsequent appointment of a women to the senate, the formation of the Progressive political party, and the Winnipeg General Strike.
Be prepared for a quiz sometime this week.
Today we took a look at some of the skills we covered in chapter 5. Together we review the four operations on Rational Expressions, simplified and expanded expression, and reviewed the three types of factoring we learned.
Tomorrow is our test on chapter 5, so be sure to study a bit tonight just to make sure you remember everything.
