Math 9 Exam Review

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the end of the first half of the school year. It is exam time and you should be preparing each night with review and paying attention in class to everything teachers say as they are being precise and reviewing relevant information!

Week of January 11 - 14 we reviewed and practiced:
Scatterplots
Power (and exponent rules)
Square Root
Order of Operations
Scientific Notation
Pythagorean Theorem
Area (Square, Triangle and Circle)

For each of the above, I have put REAL PLAYER videos on my WikiLink (these were done by another math teacher in the province). Watch each one and make notes. This should help you review in addition to the class discussions and practice work in class.

Every student should have their own scientific calculator by now. It is essential you are familiar with your own calculator for the exam. During the exam is NOT the time to use a new one.

I will provide extra help everyday Week of January 17 - 20 before school, at noon, and after school beginning at 3pm.

Ease your own anxiety by preparing and completing all your work from this term in all your courses.

Ms. Norman

Week of December 20 - 23

Math 9

We will have a unit test on Linear Relations, Wednesday, December 22nd. This should be a good test of what you have learned so far. If you are having troubles, recall I have extra help on Monday and Wedensday at 3pm.

Next week:
Monday - page 174: Equations of Horizontal and Vertical Lines
Tuesday - Questions 4 - 16 pages 178 - 180
Wednesday - Unit Test Linear Equations

Thank you for a wonderful first term; remember exams begin on Monday, January 24th. There is not alot of time to review as you are not back until January 11th from holidays.

Take care,
Ms. Norman

Parent Teacher Interviews November 18 and 19

There are Parent/Teacher interviews this week beginning at 6pm Thursday. The interviews are in 10 minute intervals unless there is no one waiting, we can chat longer.

Thursday 6pm - 7:50pm
Friday 9am - 10:20am

If you can not make these times, please let me know and we can arrange alternative times.

Meetings are more productive if parents and students both attend.

I look forward to meeting you.
Ms. Norman

November 8 - 12

We are through with mid-terms and onto another quarter of our school year. Parent-Teacher (and students are welcome too!) interviews are November 18th and 19th. I will post the hours as soon as I know them.

All student worksheets and solutions are posted on my wiki-link from this blog site. If a student is not in class, they simply check the lesson and date they miss. Students must show all sketches, formulas and work for credit. Math without work is a picture without color. Although no color is nice at times, there is a better image if color is shown. In other words, I can not tell your math method unless you show me HOW you arrived at an answers. A list of answers is not the process!

Stay tuned!
