I am in the same boat as you, I am just finishing up the second last strand this week, and will just have permutations and combinations. My goal will be to finish that before breaking for Christams.  After that we will do some review when back, and have an in class final before spending a few classes on practice diploma type questions, and a class of diploma strategies. 

I am also down to Perms/Combinations.  The unit exam is on Thursday, Dec. 20.  We have one week after the break.  I have a field test scheduled on Wed. Jan. 9 and an in-class final exam for Thursday, Jan. 10.  The other days will be review. 

We are finishing exponents tomorrow and have logs left to complete before Christmas break.  We have only 4 days of class time when we return: one day review, one day cumulative exam, one day for field test, final day to go over questions/concerns.

Our school is also running an in school diploma prep over three days during the exam period for a total of 9 hours: to empasize key points and look at diploma type questions.  Students must register for this and pay a small fee to cover photocopying (I believe).

Our students have felt overwhelmed with the pace of this course.  Particularly in rational expressions, trig and Perms and combs.  How are other classes feeling?

I am finishing the course before Christmas.  We have a few weeks in January, and so I will be reviewing, the kids will do a practice final exam, and also an oral review project before the diploma exam.

It has been a huge push to finish this year, but I have already identified several places where I can be more efficient next year.

I will be done my last unit (Permutations and Combinations) by the end of the week.  Next week we will have the last unit test and a second midterm before Christmas.

After Christmas we have two full weeks of class so we will be spending lots of time on review (both individual and class).  I will be formatting my class review as diploma prep but we are not having a final.

I am on par to finish up with Perms and Combs before our break. We will have a couple weeks after the break to review. I will have students do an in-class written exam before their diploma and we have a field test first week back also. I think next year I will be moving to fewer assessments and more frequent quizzes to save some instructional days. I also plan on combing a few concepts to tighten things up. Other than that, I think we have been pretty good pace wise. 

I am a little behind most everyone else (I still have Perms and Combs, and Rational Functions). I am working at an international school that is implementing the Alberta Curriculum, and our schedule is a little different. I have been unsure how our pace has been comparing with the rest of Alberta. Would anyone be able to send me a breakdown of the number of days spent/classes spent on each topic? And how long your classes are? Thank you for any help you can provide.

I am also in the process of completing the trig unit and will have a cumulative exam on Friday.  Then onto permutations and combinations for a week for the break, I will probably test them on what they have completed before the break and then finish up after we get back in Jan.  I am a little disappointed in the lack of depth of the trig section, I hope these students are not going to come up short in the upcoming Calculus course.  I guess time will tell.

For people who managed to complete all topics in Math 30-1 last year before Christmas would  you mind sharing what your timeline looks like.  I would like to try and be done before Christmas this year and am unsure what the time alottment per chapter looks like.  If anyone can help I would appreciate it.  Thanks.
