Study for the tests, as they are not the easiest, but not impossible. Memorisation of all formulas is not necessary, as a formula sheet will be given for every test, but it is still helpful to learn them.

Mme. Coulas is a wonderful wonderful person, she's super sweet. If you have any questions to ask her you might need to elaborate more on them because she tends to miss what you are asking about. She really is a kind soul though, try not to put your distaste of math on her if you don't like math, she really is there to help you.

Mme. Coulas is an incredible math teacher. For me, she explained everything the exact right number of times to learn the material, but not so many that I was bored. She is always willing to answer questions, and will help you until you understand it. She does give a couple of hours of homework a day, and uses the textbook everyday, but she will go over any questions that you had trouble with with the entire class the next day. I know that a couple of hours of homework a day sounds like a lot, but it is extremely helpful in learning the material. She gives a note packet for every chapter, with explanations, practice questions, and space for writing. She teaches every page with the class. She is very easy to understand, and will repeat herself if you missed something. I was in her non- IB 10 class, but I personally didn't feel like that pushed us too hard; she just has a different method of approaching the material than non-IB teachers do. She truly is an exceptional math teacher.
