Welcome to Year 11 SL Math! The is here. Allowed on All IB Paper 2's: Required Calculator: CASIO fx-9860GII SD: [|Serial Number]: [|Guide] Allowed on All IB Exams: [|Data Booklet] Non-IB Exams: Notation Quiz, Trig. Quiz, Greek Quiz We have class on **Mondays**, **Wednesdays**, and **Fridays**. Thursday period 7 is a **Free Lesson**, but I will be in my room and available for questions if needed. In addition, any **student falling below their target grade** will be required to revise during that time until the next exam. In addition, **if we lose a class** on another day in a given week, Thursday can be used to make it up.

Exams: October 24, 2011 - We are negotiating with Ms. Li's class to see if we can have an exam on October 24th.

DP Course Selection There are two class days left before course selection. I can give an exam (Quiz 7) after school if people would like one. There will be a final exam (Quiz 8) for everyone on Monday. That is 8 opportunities to prove yourself. After those 8 opportunities, you will need to make a final decision about which class you are in. Please choose wisely. To choose wisely, you MUST know your 5 colleges, the point totals they require, and whether they recommend, require, or do not need SL Math. If SL Math is required, how many points do you need in SL Math? Please bring this information with you to class on Monday, October 3, 2011.

A Note on Pacing: As of August 31, 2011, we have had 4/24 lessons on Functions. The Functions unit has 8 sections (see the Guide), and we have covered only the first one. This means that we are a little behind. I understand that some of you feel we are going too fast. The worst thing I could do right now is to slow down, let you feel you can handle SL Math, and then not finish teaching all of the topics before the exam in May 2013. In this first month, we need to give everyone in the class a fair understanding of what SL Math is going to be like during the coming two years. If it is going too fast, you may prefer to take SL Math Studies--they can and do go slower. That said, I will think about what else I can do to help make this transition into DP a little easier for you.

A Note on Exams:

There will be many exams during the month of September. This is becausehttp://www.screenchomp.com/t/84QaHCPGjeN during the month of September, you need a very accurate picture of what grade to expect if you keep SL Math. For most people in the class, you don't actually need this number of exams, but for the people who do, it is important that we have them. Never fear, come October the number of exams will drop considerably. During September, you can expect one or two exams a week. The rest of year 1 it drops to one or two exams a month. By year 2, you can expect it to increase back to one exam every week or two as we prepare for the final exams. Exams will get longer as we progress.
