08 May 2024 Grade 12 Essential.  Word of the Day:  Mortgage

Announcements

  • NO CLASSES FOR MSHSD MONDAY – Film crew doing a TV program Monday- ACTING GOOD
  • NO QUIZ TOMORROW

Today:

  • Finish Unit F Houese Finance Workbook pp. 7 – 12
  • Debrief Mid-Term Test.  Results were [very] dissappointing.  Two students elevated their course average by ~4%, two students dropped their course mark by ~4%.  The remainder were no change +/- 1 %.  I was expecting way better than that given 5 days, 2.5 hours in class, open book, collaborative, really familiar qustions, …  Enough said.
  • Issue Progress reports again.  Not much time left to get in assignments.  Penalty if late.  If below 40% then very unlikely to get into ‘field goal position‘ at this late stage.  There are some extra projects available to elevate by 4 or 5%, but they take a lot of work.
  • Issue Next Unit – Geometry and Trigonometry.
    • Issue Unit G Geometry and Trigonometry Notes.  The first 17 pages are identical to what we did in Grade 11!  Even the first few assignments are the same!
