We study tables, charts, and graph, in particular we study distance-time graphs and speed-time graphs.

In our earlier classes (Math 7), students should have learned the basics of reading, interpreting and graphing of tables, charts, and graphs, as well as working with distance-time graphs.

So we focus on study speed-time graphs which can contain more information about the motion of an object than that of a distance-time graph.

With a speed-time graph, we can calculate acceleration, as well as calculating distance traveled, which is the area under the speed time graph.

We continue to study finding roots for polynomials. Today we study how to find rational roots, which are those that can be expressed as a fraction p/q, where p and q are relative prime.

We also study how to find certain bound for roots to help reducing the search space.

We start a new chapter on finding polynomial roots. We study the factor theorem, touch upon the fundamental theorem of algebra, and study how to find integer roots for polynomial with integer coefficients.

We review measuration, with the focus on:

  • Areas of parallelogram and trapezium;
  • Volume and surface area of a prism;
  • Volume and surface area of a cylinder;
  • Volume and surface area of a pyramid;
  • Volume and surface area of a cone;
  • Volume and surface area of a sphere;
  • Length of an arc, area of a sector in a circle

We go over the application of vectors, particularly in geometry. Last week the substitute teacher did not get to go over this section.

Notice when vector AB = vector DC, it means line AB is parallel to line DC and AB = DC.

If you have not done your homework last week because you have some questions on certain problems, please do them now:
