We continue to plug away on Chapter 7 (algebra). Yesterday, we learned a technique for factoring trinomials (the "cross" method). We will try to complete the chapter during the next two classes, with a test on Thursday.
Also on Thursday, you will be given a supplementary (optional) assignment that can be completed during the holiday break.....it will give you the opportunity to ADD marks to your average! Take advantage of the opportunity, it can only help your mark. I will give you details on Thursday.
Later,
Mr. P.

Tuesday December 9
Sorry for the delay, it happens some time!
Last week, students enjoyed their opportunity to write two tests on parabolas/quadratic equations. It seems as if the second time was a charm, because students on average did a lot bettter on it. Congratulations to Leandro, who attained the highest mark on this test! Also, I also want to hand out kudos to Junior, who definitely won the Most Improved Award!
This week, we have gone on to a review of basic algebra. Students seem to be working better, and are understanding the material.
We only have less than two weeks left before the Christmas Break, and less than three weeks available in the New Year. USE THEM WISELY!
