June 12/13/14

The class had six questions from chapter 4 converting temperature, mass, and volume to other units.

Students worked on the review worksheets for Chapter 5 – Angle Geometry and Chapter 7 – Trigonometry.

Because there is occasionally a question on the exam where you need to read a Vernier caliper or a micrometer, I handed out this handout and questions.

The exam is on Wednesday at 9:00 in the gym. Bring a calculator, pencil, and your textbook. See here for practice exams.

June 10/11

We started with a reminder of how the metric system is much more usable than the imperial system and why it has been adopted by nearly every country in the world.

Students worked on a chapter 4 review worksheet. Skip #5. There is an answer key available but the answer to # 4 is incorrect.

The provincial exam will be on Wednesday, June 19.

June 6/7

The class had a warm-up on a few different money calculations to review what we did last day. Chapter 1 and 2 have a lot of different topics. We didn’t discuss everything that students may be asked to do on the Provincial Exam.

“Once you enter the workforce, you will earn an income. In this chapter, you will learn about some of the different ways that income is calculated and paid by employers – or by yourself, if you are self-employed. You will be introduced to some of the deductions that may reduce your pay, including taxes and government and industry benefit programs. You will use some mathematics you are familiar with, such as fractions, percents, and rates, to make calculations in the context of earning an income.” (MathWorks 10, page 52)

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to…

They can be found in buildings, furniture, graphic designs, city layouts, and many other places. In this chapter, you will learn about how angles are measured and created for workplace applications and how combinations of angles and lines can be used to create parallel and non-parallel lines.” (MathWorks 10, page 172)

Architects. engineers, and construction workers use blueprints and plans that are smaller than the real buildings they create. Microbiologists and computer engineers use diagrams that are larger than the real-life items they study or make. Toy and furniture makers create scale drawings of toys and furniture to help customers assemble these items from parts.” (MathWorks 10, page 224)

Chapter 7 – Trigonometry of Right Triangles

“In this final chapter, you will be looking at trigonometric ratios. You will be actively involved in creating tables of values that will help you understand what the different ratios stand for and how to apply them.

Trigonometric ratios are used in many different professions and trades. Carpenters, pipefitters, and even seamstresses use them on a regular basis.” (MathWorks 10, page 270)

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to…
