Some of the lessons ask you to graph a function and its derivative on the graphing calculator. I have posted written instructions and a recording in the Resource in section 0 called Tools and Links and Useful Things. There is a page with all kinds of techniques for using the graphing calculator; you can find the links there.

To end the afternoon, we’ll have an opportunity for you to work with a teacher FACE TO FACE (live tutoring).
Friday Dec 2: After Thursday’s day of fun at the office, we’ll go on a field trip to the Carnegie Science Center. Meet your teachers at the Science Center at 10am and bring a bag lunch or $$ for food. Each student gets in for free and can bring 1 home facilitator for free as well.
IMAX tickets and demonstration tickets can be purchased at the Science Center. They are not included in our free tickets.
Send a moodle message to Mr. Hollick if you have questions and if you are interested in attending one or both days!

I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving and a restful break.
I will be out of the office on Wednesday, so I can’t answer the phone, and will not be able to answer messages, as we will be on the road all day.
See you all on 11/28!

Happy Friday!
The weekend is here, and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I wanted to let you know that I will be out of the office on Wednesday, 11/23, so there will be no chats or office hours; please plan accordingly.
Don’t forget your second attempts on homework — this can help boost your grade, if you come for help between attempts to go over what you don’t understand.
Have a great day!

Can you believe that we are already one week into marking period 2?
Don’t forget, the last day in term 1 of marking period 2 is 2 weeks from today, November 29. This is another hard deadline, so be sure to stay current with your assignments.
Remember that Tuesdays and Thursdays are the days of my most limited availability, so plan accordingly. I cannot respond to anyone while in chat or at meetings. Check the schedule for days and times.
Have a great day!
