Eureka!

Today, Mr. Max did some more examples of solving trig equations and something clicked and I started to understand what he was saying. Once I got how to do a few things, the things I knew vaguely before became clear.

Today we did Trig Equations, which have me quite confused. We used Graphmatica and a cool ronblond.com java applet to graph trig equations. I don't really understand how they work yet, but they seem like they will do the job when i know how to use them. Yesterday, I missed class because I went on a football trip to Yorkton. We won 48-24 and I had a receiving touchdown.

Unit Circle

On Tuesday, we had a substitute teacher, we had to do some more questions on Exercise 1-2. I had no idea how to do all the questions except the conversion ones.

Today, we created our own unit circles and they dont look so confusing anymore. Mr Max taught us about the six trig ratios, making it possible to do some accelerated math questions. We have to get a math textbook, and complete exercise 2 Q's 1-10, and the first question on exercise 3.

September 11th Pre Calculus

On Friday, we started learning about what a radian is, and how there is ∏ amount of radians in 180 degrees. Mr. Max also showed us where to find the notes he writes out in class and what he records on his "drive-thru" headset. I had to leave class early to play in a football game so I didn't get to do my post in class.

My Goals For The 2009-10 School Year

- Keep my overall average above 80%
- Keep my marks up while playing sports.
- Budget my time properly so I can finish all of my assignments on time, and still have time for other things.
