December 15 - Math 9

Today, students learned more about Equation of the Line and Linear Relations from pages 164 - 171 in the text book.

For classwork/homework, students are to complete questions 4 - 8 on page 170.

Students should refer to their notes, and the indicated pages if they do not understand.
I give extra help every Monday and Wednesday after school.

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!
Ms. Norman

Week of October 18 - 22

We are two weeks from mid-terms, so ensure you are asking questions and coming in for help on Monday or Wednesday after school.

This week, we are continuing Exponents. The following assignements will be done:

Monday Worksheets (continued from Friday of last week)
Exponent Lesson 1 worksheet (to be complete for Tuesday)
1-32 Square Roots and Cubes
5-2 Order of Operations

Week of October 4 - 8

This is a short week for students. Thursday and Friday, there is no school. There is not school, as well, on Monday, October 11th.

Monday, students who do not have their work done, will work during class and stay after school if they are not done. We are at the end of the unit on Square Roots and Surface Area. Those who have their homework done on Monday and all work caught up will partake in the Amazing Area Race. I am still missing some work and class activities!

For those who did not complete their work in class on Friday, homework for Monday, October 4th is page 40: 3, 4, and 5. Students have access to their textbook online (see my last blog) and there are YouTube videos they can watch if they do not understand a concept (just google what you don't know). They can also refer to the note section of their note book, the text book, or my wiki site for more information. I have shown and explained the variety of ways they can access information if they do not understand. I am available too for extra help - before your work is due!

Tuesday, students will design a play centre for a child using a variety of shapes. The shapes will create a composite object for which students will find the surface area. The assignment is due at the end of class.

Wednesday, a guest speaker will be in.

The unit Test will be held on Wednesday, October 13th. We will begin the next math unit on Tuesday, October 12th - Powers and Exponent Laws.

Have a nice weekend.
Ms. Norman

Week of September 27 to October 1

This week, students will write a test on Square Root and Area of circles, squares and recatngles. Included in shapes are composite objects. If you don't understand a math vocabulary word, look it up in your text book glossary or refer to your own vocabulary in your notebook.

Students completed practice test on page 21 to prepare for Wedesday.
