Scribe Post for April 15, 2010

Hello 9-05. Today in class we got our tests back. We went over the test and I am going to post one of the questions that was "kinda" on it.

To find the answer we must make a table of the question.





 

After you have made a table you want to check if you did it right so make plug in the numbers in an equation.

Since there are 3 more dots for each figure you have to multiply the figure by 3 and then you add 2.



After making sure you are right you have finished the question. That wasn't too hard was it?



After we had finished going through the test we started a new unit, known as Chapter 8 "Solving Linear Equations".

We started the unit off by Mr.B giving us 3 different equations.

First let's see one of the two methods of how to do these (though this one isn't always the best).
5x=30 By looking at this equation I'm sure you could piece out the puzzle and figure out x is equal to 6. Doing this is called Inspection. The other way of doing this is Algebraically.

Remember to think of a scale and to balance everything while doing the equation algebraically.


Now let us do a few more examples of the different equations.

  Now, it is very important that there is no "chew chew" train, so align your equal signs. One very important thing to do is to check or verify your equation. And as you can see while I was checking I didn't put "=21" for each line because...well I'm not to sure but Mr.B told us that we should do it that way and its less writing so more trees will be saved.




Now on to the best part about scribes, the homework.

First, make sure you have finished the 8.1 Warm-Up that was assigned before.

Text Book: Read pages 292-300
                  C.Y.U #2, 3
                  Practice 6-30
8.1 Extra Practice
8.1 Workbook
Foldable

Also be ready to hand in your stash it for Chapter 6.
It should include:
Chapter 6 Test Signed
Chapter 6 foldable
Journal (Don't forget to blog your "best" entry)
And Mr.B will tell you the rest tomorrow.

That's it for my scribe, Casey gets to do Monday's because there won't be a scribe tomorrow.

Wednesday, April 14,2010 Test Scribe!

Hello 9-05, so today in math class we had "the hardest math test in history"...

it was on

To anyone who hasn't taken it yet, you should maybe bring some defibrillators( a device that gives you a jolt in order to start your heart again. *yells clear*) because you might be knocked unconscious by the difficulty of the test.

JUST KIDDING!!

Now back to the test.
So I don't remember most of the questions on the test since we just wrote it today. I will be giving examples pertaining to the test questions.

*If you still don't understand the questions then you should ask Mr. B, he will know.

1)

-Create a Table of Values


-Now Figure out the pattern

Here's a table instead, because I thought it would be easier for me to explain it, and you would understand it.
*You don't have to do this but this is to show you how to figure out the pattern

- How many squares are in Figure 8

2) There was also questions that included
- Examining the graphs
-Interpolating Extrapolating
- and answering the questions provided

Finally,
3) There are 3 topping of Ice cream, how many different ways are there
But you can switch around the letters like this: CS <---- Yes
or SC <----- No

-Sprinkles = S
-Cookies = C
-chocolate chips = CC
- Bubble gum = BG

You could do:
CS
CC S
CC C
S BG
CC BG
C BG

There's 6 Different ways

* Read the Questions carefully on the test

HW
-Be ready to hand in your stash its soon.
*Look back later to see what Mr.B wants us to put in it.
-Chapter 6 work
-New chapter 8 sheets (Math link Intro &

I Leave you with some humour :)
Enjoy! ( It starts at "Welcome")
I think the next scribe is Casey!
Thanks for reading and Please Comment!

Scribe Post for April 12 :)

Hi it's Alyanna :) Well I dont really have anything to scribe about.. But today in class we we're in the computer lab. Its been awhile .. In the lab we got this question.. which i'll try to remember because I didnt bring my binder home today. Fail -_-"

Simran charges a flat rate of $15 per call plus an hourly rate of $3.50. Liem charges $10 per call plus an hourly rate of $4.25. How long of a call would they charge the same amount?

So, we were suppose to graph this question on Excel. I would show you how but unfortunetly I don't have it. -_-" I use to but since my computer got upgraded.. It disappeared. Sorry guys, I'm a fail -_-"

Well, thats practically all we did in class. We also got our Stash-its back! Its about time... AHAHA. ^_^

We ended the class by going on www.mathplayground.com , and played Saving the Zogs. Tehehe :) Well that's all, bye guys !

Hello lets start right away, today in class Mr. B talked about question 19 in the math text book. which looked like this:

Now here is the formula


Time to plug in the numbers



Next you see if you can cancel out anything.


As you can see, 9.8 is being divided by s. On the other side 29.16 is being multiplied by s. So since multiply and divide are opposites they the s's cancel out each other.

Last part is to solve it


Well that's it for that question, Mr B. also mentioned a interrupted graph which looks like this

When there is no set of data for a large portion after the origin you use an interrupted graph.

For the rest of class was a work period for the homework that is due Monday, which is :

6.3 Textbook ALL SYK, ALL CYU
Practice 4-7, 8, and 10
Apply 13, 15, 17
Extend 19, 20 or 21
Math link
Extra Practice
Work Book

That is all due Monday, and don't forget to study for the test on Monday

That's it for my scribe, sorry I didn't get it done before 7 Mr. B. Sorry if I made a mistake, and if you can't see the pictures just click on them.

Hey guys sorry this post is late! I had volleyball practice and I had some chores to do, well here's my scribe.


We went over some more questions so here they are.

Here's some different questions.


Here's one more.


This is what we did at the beginning of the class, and for the rest of the class we worked on 6.1(if you haven't finished yet) and 6.2. Our homework for tonight is to finish all our work because it is due tomorrow! Well anyways that's all for now. Please comment and find some mistakes. Mistakes are good, because we learn from them. :) Anyways, bye!

Hey 9-05! Abby here with today's scribe post! Okay let's get started!

Okay so in the beginning of math class, Mr. Backe explained on how to do the 6.1 Math Link.

1. a) Choose one of the following regular polygons for a race course.





So for 1. a), all you have to do is choose one of the polygons. You can choose the triangle, or the square, or the rhombus, or the pentagon. It doesn't matter what you choose, as long as it's one of the four regular polygons!
For an example, I will choose a square.








1. b) Draw and label the five race courses.

• Decide on the length of the side of the first course. (It mus be at least 5 km long.)
• Decide on the length of the sides of the last course. (The longest course must be no longer than 35 km.)
• Decide on the length of the sides of the other courses.
• [!] Each length must be a whole number because the figure numbers are whole numbers.
  

So for 1. b), the regular polygon you chose will become 5 race courses. Since we are using the square for an example.. (sorry for the small picture!)







So, we put course #1, 2, 3, and 4 inside course #5.













And then, we choose a length for the first course. So lets use.. 2 as the length for the first course.














For the second course, the length would be 3 since the second course is larger than the first course. For the third course, the length would be 4, the fourth course would have a length of 5, and the fifth course would have a length of 6.

2. Develop a linear relation that describes the race courses. a) Complete the first two columns in the table of values.
(I'm not going to show the pattern part, just the first two columns)
















So when you have the second column filled out, find out the pattern by multiplying n by __ which will be the numerical coefficient, and add ___ which will be the constant.

So for the rest of the class, we worked on our 6.2 homework.

So that ends my scribe post for April 6, 2010! I hope I explained the 6.1 Math Link stuff well. If there are any errors, or something doesn't make sense, please comment! Have a goodnight 9-05! :D

ALL DUE Thursday, April 8.
There's possibly a test next week, just reminding everybody! :D

Make sure you guys also did our past homework: ALL OF 6.1 STUFF, so you're caught up.

So we didn't really do anything in class today, we just did questions that we didn't really understand. There were only two:
Check Your Understanding #2:












and Extend #16













I'd explain and review everything but I don't have time, I'm sorry. You guys probably got in class today.

So quick review to freshen up everybody's minds:
Chapter 6: Linear Relations
6.1 - Representing Patterns

Quick Overview...





















I'm sorry I didn't really help. I really don't have time to review the 2 questions and make a better overview of what we're learning.
