We start a new unit this week - counting, permutation, combinations, Pascal's triangle, the binomial theorem, and mathematical induction. Tentatively, we will have a quiz on Pascal's triangle, the binomial theorem, and mathematical induction on Wednesday, 12/16. Afterwards and up to the Winter Recess, we will review your Term 1 IAs with Expos.
Monday, 11/30 - we used the fundamental counting principle and factorial notation. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is p.180 (Ex. 4.5) #2-12.
Tuesday, 12/1 - we looked at combinations and permutations. Here are the slides from class. Your HW, due Friday, is p. 180 (Ex. 4.5) #13-27. We will work on these problems in class on Wednesday 12/2.
Thursday, 12/3 - No regular class for Discipulus Led Conferences.
Friday, 12/4 - we finished working on counting problems with a pop group take home quiz. It's worth 18 marks, but I'll weight it by two-thirds so it'll only be worth 12 marks in your assessments grade category. It's due next week on Wednesday.
Monday, 12/7 - we looked at Pascal's triangle and how it's helpful with binomial expansions. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is p. 188 (Ex. 4.6) #1abdeg, 5, 8.
Tuesday, 12/8 - we used the Binomial Theorem to expand or find terms of binomials to any power. Here are the slides from class. Your HW due Thursday is p. 188 (Ex. 4.6) #3fj, 4, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19, 21. Your take home quiz is due tomorrow.
Wednesday, 12/9 - we did practice problems with the Binomial Theorem. Here are the slides from class with the practice problems. Your HW is p. 188 (Ex. 4.6) #3fj, 4, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19, 21.
Thursday, 12/10 - we looked at the process of mathematical induction. Here are the slides from class. Your HW due Monday is p. 199 (Ex. 4.7.) #2-4, 12.
Friday, 12/11 - we used the process of mathematical induction. Here are the slides from class. Your HW due Monday is p. 199 (Ex. 4.7.) #2-4, 12. Your HW due Tuesday is p. 199 (Ex. 4.7.) #7, 13-15, 18. For preparation for our exam on Wednesday, here are some extra (optional) practice problems on the Binomial Theorem and on Mathematical Induction.
Monday, 12/14 - we did practice problems with proofs by mathematical induction. Here are the slides from class. Your HW due Tuesday is p. 199 (Ex. 4.7.) #7, 13-15, 18. For preparation for our exam on Wednesday, here are some extra (optional) practice problems on the Binomial Theorem and on Mathematical Induction.
Tuesday, 12/15 - we did practice problems with the binomial theorem and mathematical induction in preparation for our exam tomorrow. For preparation for our exam on Wednesday, here are some extra (optional) practice problems on the Binomial Theorem and on Mathematical Induction.
Wednesday, 12/16 - we have an exam on the binomial theorem and mathematical induction.
