Re: Australian Mathematics Competition What did people get for the octahedron one? The d^2 one, I got 81. What I did was squash the 3D figure into a plane and did the straight line distance from one centre to the other. Can anyone check if this is right?

Let any point on the locus be P (x,y) so that your locus is all of these points. Let your points (0,-1) be A and (0,9) be B So the condition for your locus is PA + PB = 5 PA = rt[ (x - 0)² + (y- (-1))²] (distance formula) = rt[x² + (y+1)²] PB = rt[ (x - 0)² + (y - 9)²] Sub these into PA +...

I thought 5th grader was pretty dumb. I agree with IpodNano, in that Masterchef is a good watch, much better than Biggest Loser.

Hi, I'm a Year 11 student studying Advanced and Extension 1 English and am wondering if there is a tutoring college, but preferably a private tutor that will mainly gives homework and feedback. I just want practice writing essays and doing comprehensions and have lessons that are just based on...

Haha yeah, sitting next to smart people who don't do any work in class isn't the greatest idea. You muck around in class with them, but come exam time, they go zooom and leave you behind. :spzz:

We have ours on Tuesday, but we have staff development day on friday so it's all messed up. :spzz:

True, most if not all of our science videos are really old VHS and seem to be taped from shows kajillion years ago. Don't know about how good textbooks are, but Physics Dotpoint workbook was recommended to us and seems to do a good job with the dot points of the syllabus.

Physics we use Jacaranda, don't know if it's just our class, but we don't use it so much for exercises, but rather a reference at home.

We're doing Human Condition I think. Text: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Maybe lead by example =]

Yep lol

True, there are some excellent teachers, but there are some incompetent teachers. We have a HSIE teacher that's always playing on his phone or some gadget at the back of the classroom, or sometimes he tells us to do something at the start of the lesson then leaves us, returning only at the end...

Re: Creative writing =p You could add a few commas here and some spelling errors, but you created a good atmosphere with the bit after the graduation. Maybe it's just me but perhaps you could make more of a connection between the 2 bits of the story. Otherwise a good effort!

Mmm 8 Maths classes ranked with 1 being best. And 8 being the bottom/people doing 2 unit.

Hey Sav, it's me Victor from Primary. I saw your comment about Talent 100 and wondering if you're planning on attending an English course because I'd like to enrol as well.

It does happen to the animals on the farm though.:D

Our school uses Fitzpatrick Yellow [2unit] and Green [3 unit] for Maths.

Theory PD/H/PE since year 7 and Australian History [it's just so boring]. Lol everyone seems to be having fun letting out their anger :hammer:

Have you see how big that place is? It's like a small suburb :)
