This week, the grade 9 students started working on their final projects for English. Students were required to choose a myth and create an engaging oral presentation retelling it. As an extension to the project, the students will each be writing a paragraph about how the myth relates to their own lives.
This week, the grade 9 students continued their unit on analytical geometry with the use of graphing calculators. They were taught operations such as finding the equation of a line and calculating linear regression. As an enjoyable concluding activity, students were taught how to draw figures, such as flowers and butterflies, on their calculators.
This week, the grade 9 TOPS students were introduced to logarithms, applying their knowledge of the subject in complex investment problems. The students were also taught how to solve these problems with the use of a table of values on Microsoft Excel.
This week, the grade 9 TOPS students began exploring the world of mythology. They looked at sections of Edith Hamilton’s ‘Mythology’, and watched an intriguing documentary on Roman, Norse and Greek mythology.
