Assessment details

Good luck everyone for the upcoming assessments!

School exam - Thursday 8:45am in the student centre

Algebra assessment - Tuesday 8:45am in the hall.

The last revision session for Algebra is 3:15pm on Monday in P7. However, I am actually free from 10am onwards so if you want to start studying earlier you need to either email me at school or message me here so we can arrange to meet.

Term Three - Week Eight

Rahina: Quadratic patterns - Finding a rule for a quadratic pattern.

Ratu: Applications of quadratics - Applications for both patterns and graphs.

Raapa: Exponential graphs - Drawing a graph by plotting points.

Rapare: Exponential patterns - Finding the rule for an exponential pattern.

 

Ramere: Revision - Practice assessment for Patterns and Graphs

Homework:

• Current homework for graphs Nulake pages 128-142
• Complete Patterns and Graphs assignment
• Older homework for graphs Nulake pages 70-127
• Older homework for geometry Nulake pages 152-173

Revision suggestions:

• Complete practice Patterns & Graphs assessment in Nulake pages 143-152
• Work through suggested pages in Gamma - especially for application problems.
• Come to the maths help room or organise a revision session with me!remem
• Work through any Algebra or Chance and Data stuff in Nulake you didn't finish earlier in the year.
• This page has last years assessments for Algebra, Chance & Data and Patterns & Graphs including exemplars of student work at an Excellence level.
• This page has earlier assessments from before the NCEA realignment. 90147 is old Algebra (where a calculator was allowed), 90148 is old Graphs (no patterns or exponentials, but good practice at Excellence level quadratics) and 90194 is old Probability (do not try simulations questions!).

Ratu: Factorsised form - Finding intercepts of a parabola given in factorised form.

Raapa: Assembly

Rapare: Scale factors - Sketching parabolae with non-standard scaling.

 

Ramere: Finding an equation - Using a calculator or algebra to discover an equation.

Homework:

• Current homework for graphs Nulake pages 111-127
• Complete Algebra assignment (again)
• Older homework for graphs Nulake pages 70-107
• Older homework for geometry Nulake pages 152-173

Reminder:  Bring in your yellow forms!

Congratulations: To Gareth, Diana and Louis for placing 5th in the Mathswell competition.
