Today and this week, we're starting with the fundamentals we'll need in our study of IB math. We're using Chapter 1 of the textbook. This should all be purely review and is a chance for you to get back into "math mode" for the year while working in your groups.
Classwork should be done in class in your groups. Homework is to be done at home, with the HL extension problems being optional. All of the answers are at the back of the book and you should definitely check your answers, but you should also show your work and your thinking process on each problem.
This week is an opportunity for you to practice budgeting your time on your homework. The entire homework set will be collected on Friday, as will the classwork set.
There will be a short quiz on Friday, 9/14/12, comprised of questions you will have already completed from the homework set and the classwork set.
Here is some reference text, should you need to review some concepts.
Here is the set of problems for classwork and for homework.
I've been very happy with the progress made in class. Nonetheless, in case you're feeling a bit unprepared for the quiz, you may want correct solutions from which to study. So, here are the solutions to the set of classwork problems, and here are solutions to the set of homework problems, and here are solutions to the set of HL extension problems.
