First, 1.5 assignment is as follows
1.5 Exercises p.57
#3, 4
#5, 9
#17 (pick 3)
#21, 22
#24, 29

Also teams for the Arocena Cup have been made.

Returning from last semester's PreCalculus 12 class
Team Asia - Samira, Carrie and Charles
The Fantastic Four - Dakota, Caleb, Dara and Colter

And new this semester
Team BAE - Becket, Alex, Emile
Team ? - Sarah, Katie, Alison

First challenge was accepted and it was Team BAE who came up with the best solution first for making the most money.  Team ? had a good idea as well, but it was not going to make as much money as what Team BAE suggested.  So first point to Team BAE.

However Team ? was able to gain a point for themselves as they won the inaugural Calculus 12 Street Fighter 4 Friday tournament.

So scores are
Team ? - 1
Team BAE - 1
The Fantastic Four - 0
Team Asia - 0

Looks like some fierce competition this semester.  Good luck to everyone!

Math 12 - Final Update for the Arocena Cup

Well fought by all teams.  Some final points to add before the winners are announced (I'll ask Ms. Scott announce the winners next week).

Team Asia:
+1 as Ryzel was the only one to use an exponential function for the hat selling question on the Final Exam (what I intended)
+1 for having the most 100%s on the various chapter tests throughout the semester (10 aces!)
+1 for tying the most completed bonus assignments (tied with Team ??)
+1 for the jar of honey.  Totally unexpected but a very appreciated gift nonetheless.

The Fantastic 4:
+1 for having the highest average for the semester (92.7% between the 4 members!)
+1 for having the most interesting comic on the Chapter 10-11 test (good job Dakota!)
+1 for Dara earning the highest mark on the Final Exam.

Team #Diversity:
+1 for having the most members ready for each test. (Good job Emile and Sahej for being almost always ready!)

Team ??:
+1 for tying the most completed bonus assignments (tied with Team Asia)

And with that I believe Team Asia takes the Arocena Cup for this semester with 17 points.  The Fantastic 4 were a very close second with 16 points.  Team ?? takes 3rd with 14 points and Team #Diversity bring up the rear with 13 points.

Team Asia, your names will be added to the Cup later this week and I'll provide all team members with a treat next week.  Traditionally it's been cinnamon buns (usually for teams of 6+) and for smaller teams I've given each individual mini-cheesecakes.  Alternatively I could make Siapao (to complete the Asian win).  If none of you respond it'll be up to me to decide and a complete surprise on Tuesday next week.

Congratulations again to Team Asia!

Math 12 - Arocena Cup Update

First, Team ? has been renamed to Team #Diversity.

Second, congratulations to Team ?? for winning the Mr. Arocena Trivia Jeopardy!  This puts them in a tie for first place with 13 points.  The Fantastic Four scored 3 points (for a total of 13), while Asia picked up 2 points (for a total of 13) and #Diversity got the lone point for last place (for a total of 12).

Competition got way closer than what I intended but that just means it might be a winner take all during Friday's competition.

Math 12 Arocena Cup Update

Congrats to Samira for winning a round against me in our Arocena Cup challenge.  Doing so gives Team Asia 2 points to shoot them up to 10 points.
However, Dakota was able to win a match against me and earns The Fantastic Four 3 points and that puts them at 10 points as well.

Well done to both Dara and Sahej for almost beating me in a round despite their lack of experience.

Good job on the quiz too!

Team B (The Booners) - Dani, Megan, Destiny, Dylan, Daulton, Jessica
