math class tuesday!!

today we skipped mental math! yay!!! We learned how to play a game where we had to move blocks and count how many times without moving two at the same time with 3 spots. You cant put small blocks on big blocks! it was pretty tricky> After we finished with the game we worked on our mental math. Today was a fun math class.

point slope form

continuation from march.27th. Point slope form lesson.

So today, we of course had mental math. Then got into some notes for about fifteen minutes for each linear equation formula. We went to http://www.ronblond.com/M10/lineAP/index.html to look at the Linear Relation Graph Applet. Between loading the videos from each lesson we worked on accelerated math and did that until class was over.

Distance














Today in class we learned how to determine the distance between two points on a grid. It is found by using the formula: squareroot(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2. You can then use a ruler to measure and check that your answer is correct, if you are using a one centimeter grid.

Work Period

Today in class was another work period. During this time we worked on Accelerated Math. We helped each other out on problems and the class was well behaved. This is about all we did in class. Have a nice day.

Yet another class post !!

Today in math class Mr. Maksymchuk gave us our usual 5 Mental Math Questions. I found them a little harder than usual because we did the notes for the questions yesterday. One question i found a little more confusing than others was the first question we got which was number 1...


all answers that are for these questions are in the green for the first question that i found was hard was VARS...

After Mental Math today Mr. Maksymchuk showed us when we are going to have time to work on Acc. Math there are 21 objectives due for friday. The following image shows when you have the time...


Then after this Mr. Maksymchuk showed us how to teach our selves SLOPE from the drive on the computers there are 3 ways. These 3 ways are...

1. on the network


2. on the 2 wiki sites - www.appliedmath.wikispaces.com, and www.appliedmath.pbwiki.com


3. on the web ( BE CAREFUL WHEN SEARCHING ON THE WEB)

*Anouther good place to go for all kinds of math related things is www.purplemath.com*


The following image is what he put up in the class to help us get to these three options...

After this we just worked on our Acc. Math till the end of class.

Finding Slope ^_^




We learned 2 ways to find slope, an "EASY WAY", and a "NOT SO EASY WAY". Here they are along with the notes.We also learned about the lines, here is why you need it.

Today when in class like usual, we started of with Mental Math (MM). After that Mr maksymchuk gave the class note to help them understand the concept of what we were doing better than they already had. (All notes done with this class are posted just above and below the writing) I personally found the lecture/class to be okay!

This is some of the stuff we learned about in our block5 applied math class. Mr.Maksymchuck and I maid a bet when ever he calls me Lucas he gives me a dollar. We stopped taking notes at 3:15 and we worked on our applied math assignments 9 to 14 then class ended at the regular 3:45.

October 3/ the work day

Today we started the class off as usual with the mental math (MM), Mr Maksymchuk said some things to the class and showed an easy way to reduce bracketed numers being added that are squared [EX. (3+4)2].When dealing with that you create a graph with 3+4 on the top of the graph and on the side of the graph, when that is done you multiply them. (EX. 3x3=9, 4x3=12, 3x4=12 and 4x4=16). After all that was finished the class was told to spend the entire class working on our scan cards and Mr.Maksymchuk helped students who were having trouble or couldn't quite figure a question out. Other than that everyone worked, talked, and had fun while getting our school work done, we enjoyed our class!
