Today in class we are starting off the day with NO mental math! We are going to start brain storming for our end of the chapter project. Some people have already called dibbes on some of the objects they plan on doing it on. I think that im going to my project on a desk shelve. We'll probably just work on our projects for the rest of the class.

Today we went over our big project. Mr maksymchuk showed us examples on how to create a project such as; Speadsheets and plywood. We were also givin a Prezi Presentation, as an option to create our project. We brainstormed as a class on what we can build, also whoever posts what theyre on the blog, has the right to claim that design. It is due April 12th at the end of the day around 3.40pm. Our explorations from 1-6 are due at the end of our break, based on the measurement chapter. We did not do any mental math today.

one and two point perspectives

today we started math class out with mental math. then maks showed us two videos about technology in modern day. after that he went on to the nxt lesson about one and two point perspectives, vanishing points and the difference between the two. this lesson seems pretty easy, but i suck at drawing so may be difficult for somebody like me who has drawing skills of a two year old. K BYEEEEE!!!

Tuesday, March 16

At the beginning of class we started out with mental math. We then talked about the project we spent the last three classes working on. Our class project will be due from April 19th to 26th. Our written test is on June 7th and the portfolio is due prior to June 7th. For the project that we handed in on Monday we talked about the title page, introduction and conclusion that should have been added. We also took a vote on what days the we should work on our next project, Thursday, Friday and Monday is what was decided. We also decided that we will have a project instead of a test.

But maybe someone else will.

Weigh the Wangdoodle

Okay so I'm not sure if this will link but this is pretty much a sweet game i'd say. This is the website at least -> http://www.mathplaygroung.com.wangdoodles.html/ I think it's kind of hard, but I know Mr. Maksymchuk will get it fast; but if you're not that bright like me it'll take a while. What you have to do is figure out the weight of the wangdoodles to make all of them balanced on all three scales.

Math Games

Try this one! Bet it's too "Trippy" for you to get through every level as quick as you can without clicking at least one wrong ball!

Hey Mr.Maksymchuk.

Most of us are glad to hear that the test is postponed. That's a good thing.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!

I hope you also have a good weekend.

The Good News and the Bad News

The bad news is that with my schedule being what it was...I wasn't able to get the tests to the substitute to return this week, so your Personal Finance tests will have to be returned to you on Monday. Having said that, I also told you that I wouldn't give you another test until I returned the first one, so I'm postponing Monday's test until Tuesday. That was the good news.

During Monday's class, I'll hand back your tests, and I'll help you to prepare for Tuesday's test on Government Finances. As it has been discussed below, if you're studying, I would sincerely encourage the use of the archived provincial exams on the Dept. of Ed. website here. Link from here or from the main links set on the right of this post.

Enjoy your weekend!

Today was basically a work day. We had a substitue and our list of tasks to do was on the board.
They were:
1) Explorations #6 and #7, Notebook assignments SOON.
The test has been moved to Monday the 8th now. It is on chapter 3, Government Finances.

2) Blog-->Vocabulary onto your personal blog from sample problems from the chapter.
Study for the exam through the old archived exams! Follow the link on the blog. Mr Maksymchuk stated the test will be the same as the first one. The questions will come straight from those exams.

*just another day

Today we started off the day with mental math as usual. Mr Mak then told us that we were all going to be joining a ning that we could all chat on it in class.

Next he started the lesson about property taxes

This lesson didnt really makes sense to me, and I honestly didnt really know what was going on. I will probably have to get some help on this. But for the other people who may have understood it more... here is the pictures of the work that Mr. Mak did.
