More on transformations

Today, Mr. Max talked about our course as a whole and the test that we are taking on Wednesday. He said that we will not be allowed to use calculators on the test since that would be good practice for our exam. (Geez, everything is about the exam now and not about math! ;-) )

Basically, it boils down to this: this is the kind of course where we have learn to learn. That is, we cannot sit around and expect Mr. Max to fill our head with the answers. We have to take the initiative to work and learn on our own and ask for help when necessary.

Now, onto the government website: there were exams on there as well as the solutions to the questions. One thing that was emphasized was the word “exemplar.” In this case, exemplar means something that is typical of a student. And also the kind of mark they would get for a answer that was only partially correct.

Here is a link to that website:

Now, onto the math. (Finally.) We did some more stuff on transformations dealing with compressions and stretches.

I wish I had something to say about these slides, but I don't (Sorry Mr. Max). So I think that you can interpret these yourself:

Also, here is a video of the lecture that Mr. Max gave us:

Here is what Mr. Max assigned for us to do for homework: exercise 8, 1 to 17 all.

Have a great and wonderful day! Also, study hard for that test! I myself will need it the most. ;-)
