your week in maths & physics, sep 27-30

long weekend in sight, and only 3 more weeks of school before the fall break!

igcse maths

we're doing some reviewing this week, and homework will be on pages 61 and 145. after that, an algebra review is on the program, inequalities and equations. hw quiz on friday. to remember some of the concepts, check out this link about solving inequalities and browse around in that list of videos.

ib maths grade 11

non-right angled trigonometry problem solving will feauture heavily this week. work on the review sets starting on page 232, do some exercises there every day. expect a test on the use of the laws of sine, cosine and area of triangles this friday. check out this different proof of the law of sines...

ib maths grade 12

do homework on pages 454-457, and do some review set questions on this chapter and the one before - there will be a big statistics test on thursday, october 6. hw quiz shall be on the pages cited above, review sets are for test preparation.  browse around in khan acedemy's list of probability classes...

ib physics grade 11

some work with data processing and excel today (tuesday), definition and concepts behind newton's second and thrid laws of motion, and some exercises with free body diagrams. khan has videos on the second law and the third law... 

ib physics grade 12

completing of the practical with lab report (DCP & CE) until wednesday; don't forget to carefully check the criteria/rubric given to you in class. stellar evolution is our topic on friday. check out the khan academy links from last week on that subject, as prepartion.

show what you know - september 28 session!

for grade 12 math students, i have this: Intro to Probability
for grade 11, have a look at this: Law of Cosine, intro and proof
my ib physics grade 12 students, have a look at these: Big Bang (intro), C(osmic) B(ackground) R(adiation), Stellar Evolution: Birth of Stars, Stellar Evolution: Red Giants, Cepheids, Cepheids 2, Stellar Evolution: Massive Stars, or simply a list of all videos on Astrophysics & Cosmology.
for my grade 11 physics students, have a look at acceleration, and Newton's 1st law, and Newton's 2nd law of motion.

clear your doubts with mr g!

these are the times that i shall be available for questions. please do come visit me whenever necessary. these times include hw quiz corrections! always in room 218!!

mondays, tuesdays, thursdays & fridays: 7h15-7h55 in the morning

mondays & tuesdays: 15h40

WEDNESDAY WILL BE "SHOW WHAT YOU KNOW" DAY (RETESTS), starting at 15h and going until whenever needed.

thursdays:only from  15h to 15h40

have your pick and come see me!

your week in maths & physics, sep 19-23

only two weeks to go until the long weekend...

ib maths 12
time for some serious probability. still no homework, though (internal assessment is enough...)


ib maths 11

sine rule, cosine rule, area of triangles... this chapter is a little easier than the one you were tested on today (sep 19)... homework 220-224

igcse maths 10

we'll be looking at true bearings. homework will be page 331, hw quiz on friday!!

ib physics 12

astrophysics: magnitudes, cosmology, stellar evolution

ib physics 11

kinematics, uniform acceleration, momentum & impulse, newton's laws of motion

your week in maths & physics, sep 13-16

a day late, but here we go:

grade 12 physics
back to business, back to astrophysics.

grade 11 physics

kinematics and uniform acceleration is on the program. we'll be doing some running, amongst other things.

grade 12 maths

lots of exercises in statistics, with variance and standard deviation. next week, probability.

grade 11 maths

lots of exercises involving unit circle and length/area measurements, and the big moment: our test on chapter 8, friday.

grade 10 maths

focus on problem solving in rigonometry this week; if there is time, unit circle. there should be a test next week, date will be announced soon. no homework this week.

khan academy links

i guess some of you already know the khan academy on the internet. i'm putting a general link on the left and i'll be adding some more specific ones for every week in khan academy posts, to give you some extra support at home.

igcse: trig intro

ib math 11: unit circle (also view the previous video)

ib math 12: measure of center (statistics)


have fun and explore!

your week in maths & physics, sep 6-9

we're back in action! find out what you will be doing and learning in this first week of school.

grade 10 igcse maths

trigonometry - ratios and problem solving. your homework for the week are all exerices in pages 315-321. on tuesday, september 13, there will be presentations of problems involving trig.

grade 11 ib maths sl

we're digging into the unit circle and all of its glory. homework will be on the whole chapter, until next friday, september 16, where our first test is planned.

grade 12 ib maths sl

review: center and spread of data, cumulative frequency graphs; pages 386-404 are homework, in other words, you should be able to do any exercise on those pages until friday.

grade 11 ib physics

introduction to the world of group 4 in ib, introduction to the world of physics, assessment and content plan; SI units, vectors & scalars, order of magnitude, prefixes. test on friday, september 9.

grade 12 ib physics

review topics 2, 3 & 4 involving different methods of presentation & assessment. review test topics 1-4 on monday, september 12.

have yourselves a merry little school year!
