The Practicality of Inequalities

Students were provided a re-entry letter today to welcome them to the 3rd marking term and provide them a sense of what to expect in the two months that lie ahead.

We dedicated a significant amount of time to discussing the use of inequalities to describe phenomena around us, ranging from sports examples to those in nature and agriculture.

Students are reminded that they are to work on their class notes NIGHTLY, in particular on the key terms/ideas and reflection sections.
