Grade 10's: Friday's summative

A quick note regarding Friday's summative: it will be based on concepts from the last unit test. Concepts we covered were:

-maximum/minimum
-vertex
-quadratic formula
-solving for zeroes (i.e. x-intercepts)

We'll discuss this more tomorrow.

Grade 11's: all quiz solutions posted

*Note: the solutions to quiz 1 have the solution if it was a recursion formula (recall that we did it as an explicit formula).

Study hard tomorrow, let's win!!!!11!

UPDATE: grade 11 average temperatures

Hello grade 11's,

Type in your city name, and "climate". e.g. "Toronto climate". A periodic graph will appear, and there is an option when you click "more", and a table with average temperatures will appear.

Hope this helps.

Grade 11 Weather Assignment Data

Hello grade 11's:

Hope you enjoyed sleeping in on a Friday. I poked around wolframalpha and there isn't a way to get all monthly temperatures in a single table.

What I would do is query something like "Toronto monthly mean temperature 2010" and print out the resulting website.

Simply query each month and get the average temperatures e.g. query "Toronto mean temperature January 2010" and average the high and low. Use that value. Please include a table that shows the numbers you are using.

Have a great weekend. You too grade 10's.

Tests Update

Grade 10 Academic: The unit test will go ahead as schedule for tomorrow. Study well tonight.

Grade 11 University: The unit test will be on Friday instead of Monday. Monday is conflicting with other engagements with a significant number of students, and we felt it was best that you write the unit test on Friday. Earlier the better.

See you all tomorrow, take care.

Welcome!

You have reached our brand new online blog. On this blog I will post multiple updates for your course, and all of them will be amazing.

This blog represents a remarkable revolution for humankind. Enjoy it. Thanks to the students who drew that weird picture of me in outer space. They're either trying to say that I'm "outta this world", or that I "don't belong on this planet".

Last year's students voted about their feelings for this website. The results are on the left-hand column.
