Term 1:
In term one, we studied algebra with Ms. Brennan.
This is one of my favourite topics in maths, so I liked this class.
We looked at topics such as:
factorising
triple simultaneous equations
completion of the square
quadratic equations
graphing
deriving the –b formula from ax2 + bx +c
We also had to make a poster about a mathematician who has the same birthday as us.
I did my poster on Norbert Wiener, who was born on 26th November 1894.

TERM 2:
In term 2, we learned about coordinate geometry with Ms. Liston
This was a great refresher of junior cert maths and allowed to learn about leaving cert maths too.
We looked at topics such as:
Midpoint of a line
Length of a line
Graphing points
Shapes in graphs
I completed many worksheets in this class with simpler and more difficult questions.
Term 3:
In term 3, we learned about patterns & sequences with Mr. Rattigan
I really enjoyed this class because we often did challenges that required us to think.
We looked at topics such as:
Arithmetic sequences
Quadratic sequences
Geometric Sequences
Series formula
Finding the nth term
Looking for a common difference
Identifying patterns using shapes
Here is a PowerPoint I made about "Geometric Sequences"
