22 SEP GRADE 10 ESSENTIALS MATH. Word of the Day: Imperial Units of Measure, [only American still use it!)
Today’s Lesson(s)
- Quiz. The Regular Thursday Quiz. If you are stuck at home with a sick child let me know (by ≤~13:00), I can beam you a link or we can defer this quiz to in-class Friday.
- Warmup. Solve Proportions. We will be using proportions in other units too!
- Metric Workbook. An extra workbook if you need practice in the ‘SI’ Metric System. Not hand-in, no answer key yet, but I can readily correct it with you.
- Notes pp. 20-25; the British Imperial System (aka: American ‘Customary’ System) of pounds, ounces, feet, inches and measures we got rid of in 1973!
- Lesson Support Videos: Converting between Imperial (American) Units of Measure
- Assignment CHARLIE-4 Convert Imperial Units (Due 27 Sep)
- Read ahead Converting between the two different systems Unit C Notes pp. 26 – 30.
- Lesson Support Videos: Converting Between Systems. If stuck at home or reviewing, these teachers say the same thing as me! Bearing in mind watching someone do it for you is not learning!

USEFUL RESOURCES
- Me, after class! Come on by!
- MrF Website – Math and Science
- Get a Decent Calculator. A $14 Scientific Calculator from WALMART is perfect. A Dollarama calculator or the normal one on your phone is useless.
- Times Tables Resources. Nail Down Your Times Tables soon! Math is so much more enjoyable if you do not have to keep reaching for a calculator to do basic arithmetic. This one is especially good for the bus ride home: NCTM Times Tables, or how about the Multiplication Trainer, fun for the whole family!
- Daily Lessons uploaded to Shared File Folder and printed out at front of class.
- Math Antics Videos. Good variety of Videos covering Middle School Math
