Exam review begins

We’re blending our final rest review into our exam review. This is one of the joys of spiralling the curriculum material. At the end of the year we are doing exam review for quite a while, and everything has been covered recently, so there’s less of an issue with forgetting major concepts.

Today we looked at solving some word problems.

We are working on connecting our knowledge of quadratics to the context of word problems. We’re remembering lots about different forms of quadratics, and what we can read quickly from equations, and what needs a bit of calculating.

It’s great to hear the students working together and helping each other. We have so much expertise in the room!

We looked at a trigonometry word problem too where we needed to draw our own picture.

We’re getting better with translating words into pictures, and making a plan to solve.

We’ve come a long way since February!
