  • Grade 12 Applied InventoryAre you ready for Applied Math?  Check out a selection of the skills with which you should already be rather familiar to readily succeed:
  •  We will be using the DESMOS Graphing tool a lot soon.  Get comfortable with it now.   Also available for download in Google play and Apple Store.  I use it as my on-screen calculator.
  • Ensure you have a Decent Calculator.  Link:  Decent Calculator.  A proper $18 Scientific Calculator from WALMART (NOT Staples) is way more useful than your phone or a Dollarama calculator.
  • Grade 12 Applied Study Notes [‘Cheat Sheet’; Issued].  Students are expected to prepare their own eventually.
  • Our Shared Daily Lessons File.  Every Daily Lesson that is done on the electronic whiteboard!
  • Decent Calculator.  You likely noticed that you need a decent calculator!  The one on your phone or a Dollarama one is not sufficient.
  • Study Notes.  Below are Study Notes that were issued [ ‘ Cheat Sheets’] for the current course and for math back to Grade 8.  Very useful to study on the bus ride home, in a quiet place at home, having a bath, or just to research which skills you may need to tweak up, etc.
