Mrs. Nichol's News
Welcome to the 2010-11 school year at NBCHS!!
This web site will keep you updated on classroom assignments and upcoming exams. You can also use it to connect to some good sites that can help you with the work covered.
Don't be afraid to ask questions!
Congratulations to LIAM BASSINGTHWAIGHTE!! Liam was the winner of Math Idol 2009-10! Thank you to ALL of the performers -- you made the event an entertaining one!
Assignments and exam dates will be indicated for each class. Please use this information to help you get caught up on any classes that you may have missed.
I have included some links to math web sites that may assist the students with their homework and exam preparations.
MATH TV This is a good web site that has lessons for different concepts -- it is free to join!
CLASSROOM RULES
Mrs. Nichol’s
Classroom Rules
1. Be on time, books open and ready to begin, when the second bell rings.
2. Come prepared to class – bring your notebook, binder, pencil/pen, ruler, calculator, textbook, etc. every day.
3. Show respect to all individuals in the classroom, both teacher and students.
4. Copy down notes that are written on the board.
5. No eating in the classroom. You can drink water, juice, etc., but remember to dispose of your garbage when you leave.
6. If you know ahead, let me know if you will be missing a class. Assignments are posted weekly on my faculty page. Go to: www.nbchs.lskysd.ca/; Faculty; Mrs. D. Nichol
7. You are responsible to find out what you have missed when you are absent from a class – assignments, handouts, etc.
8. If a student misses an exam without an excused absence, a mark of 0% will be earned for that unit.
9. If a student misses an exam and has been excused, they must make arrangements with me to write the exam outside of class time. This must be arranged the first day the student is back in the classroom.
10. Turn your cell phone OFF when entering the classroom.
Math 10/20IB
This class is for students who have a keen interest in mathematics, are self-motivated and are willing to spend extra time working on the class. Students may earn both a Foundations/Pre Calculus 10 and a Math 20 in the first semester. If students choose to take the higher level mathematics course in their grade twelve year, they have the opportunity to possibly earn a university credit in mathematics.
Assignments
Sept. 3 pg 42-43: 4,6,8-11,14,16,18,20a

Course Outline
Foundations Pre-Calculus 10/Math 20 -- Course Outline
** Prior to each of the unit exams, a review sheet will be handed out (approximately one week before the exam). Students are required to complete the review sheet outside of class time. The review sheet will be taken up in class the day before the exam.
** The final mark for each course will be based on:
1) the average of the unit exams, weighted proportionally.
2) the comprehensive exam, worth 30% of the final mark.
3) classroom assignments.
** Keeping up with and completing all assignments is a necessary and important part of the course. If students encounter difficulties, I strongly encourage them to come in for extra help as soon as possible.
Math A30
This class is for students who have earned a credit in Math 20. This credit may be a requirement for students entering post secondary institutions, not necessarily in math related fields.
Assignments
