March 15 - March 19, 2021
Below is the Math agenda for the week of Monday March 15 - Friday March 19 for my Grade 8 & 9 classes:
Grade 8
Monday March 15 - Hey everyone, today we are writing the Chapter 3 QUIZ (which includes sections 3.1-3.3). All the best!
Tuesday March 16 - Hey everyone, today are wrapping up the notes from section 3.4 and we'll be looking at how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem and find the missing length (LEG) of a right triangle.
Please refer to the section 3.4 NOTES in the gr. 8 notes tab on my Blog for details and for review.
Today's activity is on Pg 103 (#1-5)
Wednesday March 17 - Hey everyone, today we are using class time to wrap up the questions from section 3.4. We are looking at applying the Pythagorean Theorem and using this theorem to solve application problems.
Please refer to the section 3.4 NOTES in the gr. 8 notes tab on my Blog for details and for review.
Today's activity is on Pg 104 (#6-16)
Thursday March 18 - Hi everyone, today we started section 3.5 and learned how to apply the Pythagorean Theorem in application questions, and looked at a strategy on how to determine if an angle within a triangle is 90 degrees. Moreover, recall a "Pythagorean Triple," which consists of 3 whole numbers that would form the side lengths of a right triangle. For example 3,4,5 is an example of a Pythagorean Triple.
Please refer to the section 3.5 NOTES in the gr. 8 notes tab on my Blog for details and for review.
The activity is on Pg 110 (3-11, 13)
Friday March 19 - Hi everyone, today we are using class time to work on the Chapter REVIEW.
Today's activity is on Pg 112 (#1-17), and a reminder that your Ch.3 Unit Test is on Tuesday March 23.
I hope you all have a great long weekend!
Grade 9
Monday March 15 - Hey everyone, today we are using class time to wrap up the section 11.3 Booklet.
Today's activity is (#11-13). When you are done, please check your answers.
Moreover, these are the correct answers to #12 (d, e) and #13.
#12d) 311/1535 = 0.20, 12e) People are answering the survey questions honestly.
#13a) The experimental probabilities: P(1) = 0.1625, P(2) = 0.1825, P(3) = 0.15, P(4) = 0.18, P(5) = 0.2025, P(6) = 0.1225. #13b) experimental P(even) = 0.485, #13c) The theoretical probabilities: P(1) = 0.16, P(2) = 0.16, P(3) = 0.16, P(4) = 0.16, P(5) = 0.16, P(6) = 0.16. #13d) theoretical P(even) = 0.5. #13e) Theoretical and Experimental probabilities are different, however the more times you conduct the experiment the closer the values will get to the theoretical. #13f) The experimental probability is 0.485 compared to the theoretical probability of 0.5, the difference could be attributed to the die possibly being lopsided, however, the more times you conduct the experiment the closer the value will try to get to the theoretical value.
Tuesday March 16 - Hey everyone, today we are using class time to work on the Chapter 11 Review:
Today's activity is Pg 444(#1 - 18) in the Mathlinks 9 textbook
Wednesday March 17 - Hey everyone, today we are continuing to work on the Chapter 11 Review. Moreover, if you are done you can work on the Chapter 11 Practice Test:
Today's activity is Pg 446(#1 - 11) in the Mathlinks 9 textbook. This is an optional activity and you may work on it if you are done the review.
Thursday March 18 - Hey everyone, today we are writing the Chapter 11 UNIT TEST.
Make sure you review sample vs population, you know the 7 influencing factors, calculate mean, median, mode, find the theoretical and experimental probabilities. All the best!!
Friday March 19 - Hi everyone, today we started Chapter 5 "Introduction to Polynomials." Moreover, we spent time reviewing integer operations. We looked at the rules for multiplying, dividing, adding and subtracting INTEGERS. Please refer to your notes for details.
Today's activity is the Chapter 5 Get Ready WORKSHEET.
I hope you all have a great long weekend!
