We are closing in on the end of this unit.

__**March 30/31**__ I am away ill but Mr. Verity will be teaching on! We are skipping to section 4.6 and then working backwards. I don't like the set up of the textbook.

__**March 24**__ Continued working on unit 4. Today's topic was Irrational Numbers.

__**March 23**__ We started unit 4 today " Roots and Powers" Everyone needs to have a scientific calculator at this point in their math career. __**March 16**__ Anyone printing documents at home from the wiki need to know that we have Microsoft 2007 so please check and make sure that the information you are printing is what is really on the page. Today we finished the unit. Our last factoring section was Factoring Trinomials in Two Variables. The notes were handed out yesterday and are below in March 15. The homework for tonight is pages 194/195 questions 4,10,11,12. Please be checking the back of the book to see if your answers are correct. No sense doing all the questions wrong if you are unsure of the steps. Be using your notes and examples in your notebook to help you when you are stuck. Tomorrow students will be given the Unit Review which I am attaching here. __**March 15**__ Today we reviewed Multiplying Polynomials and then started the last section of the unit which is Factoring Special Trinomials. We got through Part A today and will work on Part B tomorrow.

__**March 14**__ We continued to work on Factoring by Decomposition. I've attached the blank worksheet so that you can print it off and practice at home. The answers should have been copied down in class as I did them on the board. We also started section 3.7 today which is a review of Multiplying Polynomials. We will take up the rest of the notes and examples tomorrow but that should not stop you from working on them tonight.

The unit exam will be early next week so make sure you are STUDYING!!!!!

__**March 9**__ I am away at an appt but the students wrote a quiz today and then worked on 2 assignments: one on GCF and one on Factoring by Grouping. __**March 8**__ Learned about Decomposition factoring method today. This stuff is hard so you need to be working at it. __**March 7**__ We continue to work through the beginning of our Factoring Unit. We completed Factoring by Greatest common Factor and today we started working with Sums and Products. This stuff is new to the grade tens. We need to work slowly and steadily but students must realize that homework needs to be done. This stuff takes practice. __**February 14**__ Today we were outside working on our math lab and using clinometers and trig ratios to determine the height of objects around the school.
