Warm Up
Correct your quiz, then prepare to ask questions re. assignments #5 or #6. If you have not finished any HW assignments work on them now. I'll likely do an example from lesson #6 for you. Then it's review time - see the unit outline. Again do a variety and practice and check your work and answers carefully - the test in next class. Lesson OK, I'm going to try something new here...now is the time that you start to review past units - I would recommend the units that you are the weakest in (see check my mark). I'd like you to find a question from the text, unit test, sample exam or other resource (khan, etc.) - then complete the question using 'explain everything' and then screen shot it and post it to my web site. I would like to make a slide show of samples of questions of each unit - made by students. So students have another resource to look at when studying for any rewrites or the mock exam. You will have to make the work very clear and as the app says...explain everything. If you want to go crazy you could even record a video that I can post but we might not have time for that. I expect at least one question for each student. When you submit it please indicate which unit it is from and which topic it is...example polynomials unit, decomposition. Wrap Up Make sure you submit your question and answer to me before the end of class, and good luck study

Warm Up Today is our trig quiz - on lessons #1-4. While I do a HW check please practice, practice, practice. For example the picture on the left is taken from the link to Khan Academy (from the online practice unit 6 above). Try and see if you can master this level, or get to the next one. If you want you can also practice another topic that you may be interested in rewriting - for example Unit 5 linear systems. Lesson Today we will be looking at more complex problems. Going through the steps of problem solving. Quick activity if you have this app...geometry pad. - make a triangle - click on a vertex and display all three angles - what do you notice about the three angles for every triangle? Is this a proof? Solving a triangle means to find all missing measurements. Along with using the three trig ratios keep in mind two previous properties of right triangles: 1. Pythagorus' Theorem 2. The angle sum of a triangle is always 180 degrees. When solving a triangle start by clearly knowing what information you have (especially if there is an angle), then what one other measurement you can find. Plan your order first and make sure to check if your answer is reasonable. You can now practice lesson #5. When solving a more complex problem try to make the problem simpler. If you have more than one right triangle, look at each one separately and clearly mark what measurements you know - what for shared sides or related angles. Next mark what measure you are trying to find. Then by working backwards begin to find the measurements that will help. Always show your work, be prepared to start over and check if your answer is reasonable. You can now practice lesson #6. That's trig folks...now time to practice! Warm Up While I do a HW check, find at least one "trig" question from sample exam A. Use explain everything to solve it, check it and post in your drop box. Lesson Finding Angles Recall the app "dragon box" what are the "rules" of the game. Today we will look at "inverse functions" and specifically "trig inverse functions" - when and how to use them. Our assignment will be lesson #4 from the unit outline. Open this image in explain everything so we can discuss strategies for using the given information to "solve the triangle." Wrap Up Ticket out the door - using the socrative app. Remember there will be a trig quiz next class on lessons # 1 - 4. Warm Up Recall last day's lesson (or look below at some of the pictures). Next, open "explain everything" and write these four words in the corner of your screen: tangent, opposite, adjacent, angle. Now on the middle of the page show how all of these words are related (use diagrams, explanations, examples, etc.). Save in your drop box when complete. Lesson Hold your finger on the image above (boat), then save this picture and open it in explain everything. We will use this as our fist example. Do the same with this image. Using one of the trig equations. Show all work in explain everything. Now calculate the required distance in this image. Import, then show all your work on explain everything. You can begin to practice your homework now - lesson #2 from your trig unit outline. Wrap Up Find at least one question on trigonometry from Sample Exam A. Complete, check and save it (in drop box). If you have time continue to work on sample exam A. Warm Up Go through the review sheet from last day and find the questions that you do not understand. Enter that number on the socrative app. Keep working through the ones you have not completed. Lesson Today will be our first key day in understanding what our final unit of the year is all about - trigonometry. Be prepared to discuss some ideas. After we complete a few practice questions we will be doing today's exploration. Today's exploration will be completed in class, then your hw will be to complete lessons one and two of your Unit 6 outline. Wrap Up Make sure you leave a sample of what you learned today in your drop box. If fin Warm Up Check out your unit 5 test scores online. Don't forget to show me all unit 5 hw assignments as well as move your project to the shared folder on dropbox. See me at lunch or after school if you need help. If finished practice "dragon box" - you'll need these equation solving skills for this final unit. Lesson Trig introduction and final exam review. First a quick intro on what is trig and why we learn it. Then a review of some essential skills (including a pre-test). Next here are the steps to practice final exam review: 1. Select the tab (above) called BCED 2. Select sample exams 3. Choose grade 10, agree to the copyright terms and then search 4. Select Foundations of Math and Pre-Calc 10 5. Select Sample A "exam" (not e-exam, answer key or additional material) 6. Read the directions 7. Take a screen shot of question #4, then open "explain everything" and import that question so you can work on it (see below). Repeat for additional questions. Save the explain everything file in your drop box (make sure you open drop box and see that your account is linked - not someone elses). Wrap Up HW will be puzzle 1. Warm Up If you did not complete your quiz rewrites please let me know. In the meantime as today is the due date for the project you must enter your data, create your graphs and finish you slide show as soon as possible. Remember here is the minimum slides: 1. Title (with graphic) 2. Introduction (why did you pick this question, why is it important?) 3. Minimum of three graphs: 1 for each individual item, showing the line of best fit, and one with both sets of data on it. 4. You must have an analysis of the data (see checklist) for such items as equation (in function notation), rate of change, discrete?, linear?, domain and range...etc. 5. Conclusion (what did you data say, what next, what prediction can you make?) 6. Sources - what were your main sources of data See the sample under class files if you are unsure. When finished have someone fill in your evaluation form (under peer evaluation). Lesson We will be taking the odd break to review for next Wednesday's test - see the puzzles and textbook assignments. Wrap Up I will be putting a slide show together of some of the projects...and giving you a post project quiz on Monday so be ready to share about your project. If finished review for next week's test. Warm Up Start working on your "real data" project - we're down to our last two classes and I would hope some of you will hand in (through drop box) your project today. On Friday we will be doing peer evaluations. Lesson Before we rewrite our quizzes a quick "socrative student" warm up quiz. Next we'll look at some more challenging applications of systems (word problem puzzles). Work on the project in class and the puzzles for homework. Wrap Up Be prepared to do a check in on how close you are for your finished project. |
