Math Help

Math help will follow the following schedule beginning at 3pm each afternoon:

Monday - students complete outstanding tests and corrections.
Tuesday - Polynomials and Exponent Laws
Wednesday - Slope/Equation of a Line
Thursday - Triangles and Congruency/ Fractions and other!

Science students may come in any day for help.


As I have said in class - we have been training for the "marathon" all year. Now is not the time to give up! We only have a mile to go.

Exam Review Science Tests week of June 7th

Monday, Science "10" will write a test on microscopes, Mitosis, cell organelles and function and cell theory. This is a test missed week of June 1st due to the MANY activities going on in the school.

Science 9 and 10 will have a test on Meiosis Wednesday to review for exam. These tests will count towards marks and are in more of a quiz form to encourage study and review!

My wiki has all science information and students have all been given review sheets (which are also on my wiki!)

Parent and Students Interviews

For parent-teacher interviews, I prefer for students to accompany their parents to the interviews. It is always a positive thing when students can hear nice things said about them!

Interview times are Wednesday, March 31st from 6 - 8pm and on Thursday, April 1st from 9 - 11am.

Students do not have classes beginning Thursday of interviews, Good Friday or Easter Monday.

I look forward to seeing everyone.

Math 9

The main portion of Math 9 midterm is EXPONENTS. Each student has a minimum of two exponent sheets in their notebooks - make sure you memorize the rules! We have practiced lots in the classroom too. All the math includes integer adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing: all of which we have been working on since September.

The math midterm will also include polynomials. My wiki has the powerpoints we looked at in class. All year I have been emphasizing the notes section of your math book - so now would be a good time to go through those notes and modelled examples of everything we have done.

I have confidence in you!
Good Luck.
