Extra Help

If you need extra help on any of the topics we cover in class, get it right away. I'm available in my room at noon on Days 1 & 3, and in Lab 11 on Day 2.

Textbook

We use Mathpower 9 - Western Edition as our textbook. Occasionally additional reference material will be supplied, but for the most part, this textbook is your main source of course information and practise questions. Page references in the pdf notes at left are all for this textbook.

Tutoring

Mrs. Hiebert is available for additional tutoring help outside of school hours. If you feel you would benefit from this, contact either myself or Mrs. Hiebert for more information.

Bonus Puzzles

Bonus Puzzles will be made available periodically throughout the duration of the course. Bonus Puzzles are (almost) always optional. Uncompleted or incorrectly completed bonus assignments are NOT included in your mark calculation. This means there is NO downside to attempting a bonus puzzle...if you get it right, it boosts your mark, if you don't get it right, it doesn't count against you.

Logbooks

Logbooks are to be maintained according to the guidelines presented in class. They will be checked periodically and should serve as the basis for your presentation at Student-Led Conferencing nights. Logbooks should contain an up-to-date Table of Contents at all times.

Mental Math

Mental Math activities will be presented almost every day in class, and will make up 10% of your overall grade. They are intended to reinforce mathematical reasoning and techniques used in S1 math, as well as to help prepare you for topics and techniques required by the S2-S4 level courses. Mental math sheets are collected once 6 activities are completed...you get to throw out your lowest score of the 6 and have your best 5 recorded for your marks.

Notetaking

Good notes are essential to having a thorough understanding of the course material. You are expected to refer to your notes first whenever you are completing an assignment or studying for a test. Each time you write a test you are expected to submit your notes (with a completed Notes Coversheet) for a completion check. These checks will earn you 10% of your overall grade, so keep good notes.

Homework

Each new topic presented has a collection of questions and problems to complete for practise (included at the end of each set of notes). 90% of the time, you should have enough time during class to complete each assignment. However, should you run out of time in class, it is your responsibility to complete the assignment for homework for the next class, during which the solutions to the assignments will be discussed. Pay attention to each solution presented, making any corrections in your own homework that need to be made. As with notes, each time you write a test you are expected to submit your homework (with a completed Homework Coversheet) for a completion check. These checks will earn you 10% of your overall grade, so complete and correct ALL your assignments.

Tessellation Project

The work of the artist M.C.Escher demonstrates amazing examples of tessellation, a geometry-based artform.

Test Answer Keys

Test answer keys for the concluding semester are posted during exam study periods to assist during exam prep.
