Hello "The Class"! Sorry, that I posted it so late.
So, today in math class we went to the LAB! (: Once we got our computers logged in, we visited www.mathlinks9.ca. We when to chapter 4 We first started of with proportioner.

Proportioners:
The purpose for site, I never really got it. It was confusing for me. So, if you want to check it out here's the site: http://seeingmath.concord.org/resources_files/Proportioner.html. Also if you still don't get it, click on the user's guide and read the instructions (as Mr Backe would say).

Here's another site about proportioner. The purpose for this site is, I'm not also sure because I couldn't find the instructions. But you want to check it out, here's the site: http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail&ResourceID=195

The last site that we went on was, we when to web games and click on scaling jigsaw. Here's the site: http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/games/sizeandscale/sizeandscale.html.
Now for this one, I understood it very well. You must make each puzzle pieces fit the puzzle by making it larger or smaller. This game was pretty fun. So, if you liked it, you should play it again.

HOMEWORK:
~write in your journals
~study for the next test

Well, that's it. Hope you liked it, sorry that it was late and a lot of them was not clear. PLEASE COMMENT ON MY MISTAKES OR ANYTHING !! :) The next scribe will be......................... Liem! DUN DUN DUN :) LOL

Hello 9-05!In the start of today's class we talked about the homework. After that Me and Rinorm didn't get anything he was saying so we asked about what a Scale Factor is.What Reduction meant and what enlargement meant.



Scale Factor-Is the Number you multiply the original number by to get an enlargement.



Reduction-A reduction has to have a scale factor greater than one but less than zero.



Enlargement-Is anything greater than one.



Mr.Backe gave us a sheet of paper with a bunch of shapes looking like a person. We had to make the original figure then enlarge it by two. The original looked like this.

Uhmm I couldn't upload any pictures.Sorry!! Ill go back in the near future and put them in next time I have a chance.okay?Well sorry about that.

Homework:The sheet that has all those things on it.yeah that.so have fun.Oh yeah!the next scribe is....Hmmm..Dean Sauddin!!haha just because you sit beside me.PEACE!
