Revision Day!
Today we started off by filling out a feedback form. This form had us talk about if we had learned any of the present chapter last year... and how the teachers of the math class before this can help to prepare upcoming students for this class.
After that was done, we talked about the upcoming midterm. We learned about the point system for the midterm and how we would be graded. We also got our "notecard" for the test, that we can put ANYTHING on, as long as its in our own handwriting.
Next, we went over questions from the homework that some of us didn't understand. Mainly 4. and 7.
4. was about finding the nth sum of a sequence. To do this, you had to use the Sum equation from the arithmetic sequence. As long as you know the equation, you can just substitute in the values, and get the sum!
7. On this question, a good strategy was to eliminate possible functions. If you think about it, you know that the only plausible ones are A. and E. Then, you simply have to find which one has the first term of the sequence at 3. Then, you can see that the clear choice is E.
We looked at a few more from the homework and then we moved on.
Next, we took a quiz! this quiz took up the majority of the rest of the class, with lots of little problems and tricks.
That was about it for the day. We have the midterm next class, so be sure to look over the study guide problems, and make a really good note card.
Optional but recommended HW:
Use the suggested practice problems from the midterm revision guide (p. 276).
The next scribe will be Hannah

you can't actually put ANYTHING on the notecard, isn't it mostly just formulas? You can't solve anything on it.
ReplyDeleteI think that's right. No solved problems.
