May 31st

Mr. Maksymchuk talked to us about what will be on our exam. He told us that it's on personal finance, goverment finance, investments, statistics and design and measurement. Our exam is on June 7th in our math class, at 9am. Our portfolios are also do as soon as possible and there is re-tests possible but you have to talk to Mr. Maksymchuk if you are interested. Also, you can still hand in notebook assigments from any explorations. We are also going over on how to do a tax return.

Today in class we started a new chapter, which was chapter 5 Preparing income tax returns. We pretty much just had a work period, and learned how to do an income tax form. Kinda. There was no homework given but there is only five more days until the exam and looking over the material would be good I suppose.

Recognizing Variation

Today Mr. Maks talked about how to recognize what types of graphs go with what formulas.

We then did notes on "How financially healthy are you?" And differences between assets and liabilities.

Budgets

Today like most days we started with mental math. Mr.Max taught us about budgets such as housing, food, transportation, etc. We went over what percentage each is and how much we would have to make to cover those expenses.
