HAVE A GOOD SUMMER!
During this course 2011 - 2012 MATHEMATICS is being taught for 4º ESO.
18 / 6 / 12 NEXT STEP IN OUR STATISTICS
After taking all the surveys, it's time to collect the data.
We'll use a spreadsheet so, data will be organised in tables.
Spreadsheets allow us to have nice graphs and calculate some statistical parameters.
If you've not taken the surveys yet:
Groups 2 and 3 questionnaires are available in twinspace (etwinning site).

Groups 2 and 3 questionnaires are available in twinspace (etwinning site).
15 / 6 / 12 WORKING WITH STATISTICS
Please, have your questionnaires ready on google docs and share them.
On monday I'd like you to take the surveys.
If you have any problem, don't worry and ask.
8 / 6 / 12 SOME MORE FUNCTIONS
Some important concepts to study functions:
Here, you'll find some useful graphs, so that, you can try to study their functions.
But, remember that for a complete study of the function you'll have to wait one more year.
To graph functions, you can use this link (or another one you like better):
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
CAN YOU GUESS?...
WHAT'S THE DOMAIN AND RANGE OF THESE FUNCTIONS?
a) y = | x |-1/2
b) y = (-x)-1/2
30 / 5 / 12 INTRODUCTION TO FUNCTIONS
To introduce functions it's very useful to remember some concepts:
To graph functions you can use this link:
But, it´s possible to work with a graphic calculator. There are some of them on line:

Here you´ll find some help for solving inequalities and graphing their solutions:
19 / 3 / 12 EQUIVALENT SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS
Two systems of linear equations are equivalent if they have the same solutions set.
In order to get an equivalent system we do elementary operations. That means that we can:
In the Gaussian Elimination Method for solving a system of linear equations we´ll try to get an equivalent system in a triangular form and after that, we´ll obtain the solutions by back substitution.
- Interchange two equations
- Multiply an equation by a non zero constant
- Add a multiple of one equation to another equation
In the Gaussian Elimination Method for solving a system of linear equations we´ll try to get an equivalent system in a triangular form and after that, we´ll obtain the solutions by back substitution.
