4.  Homework:  Page 134 - 136 #1 - 11


NOTE:  Page 134 #5d)  The expression is made of 1 term with 2 variables.  So, the degree of this term is 2 + 4 = 6. 


This is the same with #5e) where the term is made of 2 variables.  So the degree is 5.
Try 5f)!


And on page 135, #6d) is a binomial.  The first term has a degree of 3 + 2 = 5 and the second term has a degree of 2 + 5 = 7.  The degree for the BINOMIAL is the largest degree  and in this case, it is 7.  Try 6e).

Number Systems

1. Diagnostic Tests are marked and your mark is in TeachAssist!  How did you do?  The class average was 51.8/60 or 86.3%.  
2. Warm up on Decimals and Rounding
   Sometimes for ease, we need to round decimals so that we don't have to deal with so many digits.  The simple rounding rule is:

>5 Round Up

<5 Round Down

=5 Round to the even number

Example 1:  Round to the nearest ones.

a) 12.5     b) - 1.15    c)  14.6    d) 0.3    e) - 2.7
ANSWERS:  a) 12  b) - 1  c)  15  d) 0  3) - 3
Example 2:  Round to the nearest tenth.
a)  0.38    b)  - 1.45    c)  4.62    d)  - 5.76    e) 0.12
ANSWERS:  a)  0.4  b)  - 1.4  c)  4.6  d)  - 5.8  e)  0.1

Example 3:  Round to the nearest hundredth.

a)  2.585    b) - 35.698
ANSWERS:  a)  2.58  b)  - 35.70

2.  Lesson:  Number Systems
You will continue to review adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers and fractions, with and without the use of a calculator.
3.  Homework:  Page 6 #4, 6a, 7, Page 7 #1, 2a, 3, 4a, 5, 6, Page 8

Diagnostic Test Today!

Agenda for Tuesday, February 7, 2017.

1. Attendance
2. NOTE:  Changes in evaluation dates!
3. Pascal Math Contest?
4. Check for your OWN Supplies:
• Pencil & Eraser
  A mechanical pencil, with extra lead, is preferred as it does not need sharpening during evaluations.  During the EQAO, you will not be permitted to get up and use the sharpener on the wall.  Be sure to have a sharpener of your own.  
• Calculator (not your phone!)
  Your calculator should have trigonometric functions (SINE, COS and TAN).  Consider an upgrade to your calculator should you not have these functions.  It's a good time to get used to a new calculator in grade 9.  In grade 10, you will use the trigonometric functions mentioned above. 
• Ruler
• Coloured Pencils
• Graph Paper
5. Diagnostic Test Today!
6. Finish homework for tomorrow!
7. Signed Slips?
8. Course Pack page exchange?
