It's a polynomial qs from a while back, but we are still up to conics

Are you in the class that skipped curve sketching ?

lol yeh, im actually enjoying it quite a bit, especially when we did curve sketching
i was doing 4u hw and then moved on to 3u and all of a sudden 3u became so bland

Pree much. I've learned to always expose myself to harder and more challenging things, and the stuff you did before doesn't seem so bad anymore

I think it's a mental trick. I used to think 3u was hard , and after doing 4u it doesn't seem so bad after all

I've heard of people loading up extra weight (more than their PR) before a squat . Putting the bar on their back, standing completely still and re-racking the bar. Then they are able to hit or break their records a lot easier

Someone invent 5U maths and make me think 4U is easy plz

totally true, it's all in the head....

if u want 5u, just go ruse or something, they probs have their own class for it and everything

I wonder, why do ruse students outperform others? I think it's only because of that maturity towards study at such a young age (245/300 in selective as a twelvie) coupled with the competitive environment

In that case, if a student becomes self motivated in later years, they theoretically have the same chance to a 99.95?

There has to be something I'm missing . What's so special about ruse? Teachers maybe ?

Its kinda got to do with everything you said. The self-motivation of students comes from the healthy competitive environment, they have, i assume, good teachers cause they wouldn't hire anyone into the best school in NSW and also i think cause 95% of the students are asians and indians, they have high expectations from their parents. I'm the kind of person who would love to be in that type of environment and so i am quite jealous for the students that get to go there

I feel ya, we only had two good maths teachers, one is white (lol i know) and one is viet. The white teacher retired last year and i was soo devastated and i only found out 2 weeks ago that the other teacher might leave as well. He is such a good teacher, unique style, heaps of experience and can easily land a job in ruse. He basically got me through all my tests from year 7 till now

Well, I can say for sure there are ALOT of horrible teachers at my school , along with some exceptional ones .
I remember we were bored and made a list of dodgy and legit teachers. Dodgy teachers cover 66.6% of my school.

My physics teacher did a phd and wrote the jacaranda book. He is the worst teacher I have ever had. Never teaches, just rambles on about random stuff. He knows his stuff but cannot teach.

My Chem teacher is pree much like : write up this prac, do it. K bye

Economics teacher is non existent. We have had subs more than him

3U teacher DOES.EVERY.SINGLE.THING.ON.GEOGEBRA . We spent like a week talking about how they found out what Pi was, they got twins to walk around/along the circumference and diameter of a circle. It's cool, but we actually gotta learn something sometime

I think he pulled of a lesson on perms and coms using GEOGEBRA animations. How is that even possible

My English teacher is great. For the first time I feel like I understand what Dickens was trying to tell society

My 2U teacher is perfect. Theory, example questions, homework , asks if anyone needs help from last weeks homework, repeat.
We cover and understand everything.

Good teachers probably go to ruse or are bought from rich private schools

[I was joking for those of you who think I'm serious. ]

wow i don't think I have ever been taught maths via the internet in school, all done by teacher.

 

[SammyT123]

GEOGEBRA is a web app in which you can draw graphs. He does teach us, but it takes him one lesson to cover one question

His always telling us how cool it is and all the features of geogebra. Problem is we can't really use it in exams...
