 * Grade 10 Math

The course outline for Math 10 can be located here: [|Math 10 Course Outline - Diane.doc] April 9, 2009 A review video of trigonometry is: [] and part 2 []

Feb. 10, 2009 Student have to complete page 178 #10 - 13 and the last page of a handout on quadratics for tomorrow.** The Internet has been troublesome at the school again recently so this page has not been updated consistently. It is better now so update frequency should improve.

The Internet has not been working properly since the beginning of January. It seems to be fixed now so the updates should be more consistent. Homework for today is page 169, question 13 - 16. The powerpoint used in class today can be found here: [|Functions.ppt]

A sample question that students may wish to take a special look at is:**

Ms. Goodwin gives her students a certain number of math questions to do for homework each night. A student records this information and comes up with: 8, 11, 9, 14, 9, 15, 18, 6, 9, 10 a) Find the mean, median and mode of these values.  mean = median = mode = b) Which measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode) best represents the number of questions that Ms. Goodwin gives as homework each night? Explain your choice. **October 13, 2008 Students have no specified homework this evening, however, we will have a major test on chapter 1 in the textbook on Wednesday.

October 10, 2008 Students worked on standard deviation and normal curves today in class. Questions 13 and 14 on pages 38 and 39 are due for homework for Monday.

October 8, 2008 Students worked on graphing calculators yesterday and today to determine standard deviations of data sets as well as configure box and whisker plots and histograms. There is a quiz tomorrow and comparing histogram graphs and standard deviations as we discussed today on page 32 of the textbook and students were to have read section 1.5 in the textbook.

October 2, 2008 We continued to work on standard deviation today. Students need to complete worksheets on standard deviation and question #8 on page 31 in the text. The powerpoint we worked with today can be viewed here: [|STANDARD DEVIATION power point.ppt]

October 1, 2008 Students worked on standard deviation today. A powerpoint presentation that may be useful for students can be found here: [|Standard Deviation power pointII.ppt] There is no specified homework is for today.

September 30, 2008 Students received their math test mark back in class today. They also received their evaluation sheets with all of their marks since the beginning of term. These evaluations need to be signed by the parents and returned with the students by tomorrow to receive bonus marks.

September 26, 2008 Students will write a test on three ways to manage date - stem and leaf plot, box and whiskers and histograms. Students will need to answer questions #13 on page 20 and #26 on page 25 - to be handed in for evaluation.

September 25, 2008 Students received their graphs back from yesterday's class. They were evaluated out of 10. We viewed the following video. Students found it quite fun and interesting. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Tryb8f3blxY&feature=related For homework, students need to finish the histogram worksheets - pages 2 and 3 - for tomorrow. There will be a test on Monday on everything to date.

September 24, 2008 Homework was checked and recorded. We completed an interesting activity documenting the chances of having a hemopheliac child if the mother is a carrier for the disorder. We then graphed a histogram with the information. The histograms were submitted for evaluation worth 10 marks. There is no specified homework for this evening.

September 23, 2008 Homework was checked today and reviewed. Students need to complete the last page (only) of the histogram.doc that was handed out today in class. An electronic version can be found in Sept. 18 entry below.

September 22, 2008 Students received their quiz results today. Two students whom where not here on Friday will write the quiz tomorrow after school. Students need to complete the histogram assignment for tomorrow. The assignment can be found electronically in the Sept. 18 entry.

September 19, 2008 Students wrote a quiz today on box and whisker plots. Students need to have completed question 1 on the histogram doc located in September 18 entry.

September 18, 2008 We will finish box and whisker plots today and have a quiz on this concept tomorrow. We will begin histograms tomorrow. Handouts for this topic can be found here - [|Histogram b.doc] [|Histogram.doc]

September 17, 2008 We are continuing to work on box and whisker plots. Students were given the second half of the box and whisker information (it can be found electronically in the September 13 entry - the final 4 pages of that document). There will be a quiz on Friday on box and whisker plots. For homework, students need to complete question 2 of the "Interpreting Box and Whisker Plots" that was handed out today

Septmeber 16, 2008 Homework was collected and will be handed back tomorrow. We started Box and Whiskers today - a method for organizing data. Students received copies of the notes (See September 13 below). Students need to complete questions 3, 4 and 5 for homework for tomorrow.

September 15, 2008 For homework: students will create a stem leaf plot for the data collected last week when we dropped and caught a piece of lined paper 20 times. Students need to calculate the mean, median, mode and range. Students will state which averge best represents the data and why. Students will be evaluate by the following: plot - 4 marks, averages - 4 marks, title/legend and neatnes - 4 marks. Students also received their quiz results today.

September 13, 2008 Students wrote a quiz today. They will be marked and handed back on Sept. 15. The following worksheets will be handed out on September 15 on Box-and-Whisker Plots (data management). [|Box Whisker Plots.doc] Students will also complete a stem and leaf plot for data collected in class.

September 11, 2008 Students will have a quiz tomorrow on significant digits, variables and stem and leaf plots. There is extra help tonight after school.September 11, 2008 Students will have a quiz tomorrow on significant digits, variables and stem and leaf plots. There is extra help tonight after school.

September 10, 2008

Students are working on Chapter One in the textbook. Homework for tonight is to complete questions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in the following set of worksheets. [|Constructing a Stem.doc] Additional notes on averages can be found here: [|Types of Averages grade 10.doc]

We also watched a short video on Arthur Benjamin and "Mathemagic." It can be viewed here: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/arthur_benjamin_does_mathemagic.html

Extra help will be held after school on September 11 for those whom wish to come.**
