Accelerated Math and Box Project

Today in class, we worked on accelerated math and worked on our Box Project. The accelerated math was to be handed by 3:40 today and so was our Box Project. You needed 27 objectives done by 3:40.

Work Period

Today Mr. Maksymchuk let us continue working on our box volume projects. We also got to work on our accelerated math. Thursday at 3:40 is our extended deadline for 30 learning objectives. This is our last oppurtunity to get them done.

Rectangle problem

Today Mr.Max showed us a rectangle that we had to find out the dimensions. We each have to find the answer by next Thursday. You can use the internet if needed or a real example.

Another Lovely Work Period.

Today in Mr. Max's Wonderland, aka math class, he had an important meeting today with the principal so we are working hard... or hardly working. Just kidding Mr. Max! Anyways, I don't exactly know what else to say. Thanks for reading, Bye!

P.S. 30 objectives for Thursday afternoon, Get going!

Work period

Today is a work period.... hence: no teaching. So... shhhhhhoooooooossshhhhhhhhhhhhh and WORK!

Qaudratic Regression, Tuesday 17, 2009

Today we learn more on qaudratic functions. We used excell, our graphing calculators, and graphmatica to solve the problems. Around the seven minute mark on the recording he showed some calculator things. So far 30 objectives are still due on the last friday before spring break. Good Luck.

New Trick on Excel, March, 16/09

Today we did mental math and then Mr. Max wanted to show us a new way of solving problems on Microsoft Excel. We had a problem trying to solve how big a woman's garden could be given the size of her fence. Go to excel and type in the formula for length x width. After that put that number in another column (vertically or horazontally) and then highlight them with your mouse. There should be a black dot in the bottom right hand corner of your highlighted boxes, click and drag the length down as far as you would like, and do the same for the width. Then scroll down and find the biggest area number and that will give you the answer.

Quadratic Functions

Today we did mental math and then got a little booklet on quadratic functions. we have to do questions 1-8. you may usethe internet, graphmatica, and excel if you like. If you don't know what some of the words are you can use: www.mathwords.com. The rest of the class was used to work on questions and accelerated math. Mr.maksymchuk canceled all the word problem exercises and printed out some new ones. We are expected to have thirty some objectives by spring break. That's all for this class.

finding the missile that was lost in the desert.

As usual on a Friday morning we did mental math. Then, Mr. Max read us a story and reminded us how we are very fortunate to be in a safe school. I personally thought that it was a good story.. We had questions yesterday on finding the missile that was lost in the desert, and they were due for homework today, so Mr.Max did the questions with us. Here they are:

Non-Linear Functions!

We started a new unit today.. called non linear functions. Mr.Max gave us some definitions first.

Function- relation that passes the vertical line test.

Parabola- look at the picture

He also showed us the Domain(infinite) Range( all positive numbers and zero) and the Intercepts.

Test

Sorry for the late post.
On March 3rd we wrote our first test of the semester. It was on linear equations and word problems. After the test we worked on accelerated math and had time to catch up on objectives.
I assume that in the near future Mr. Max will be turning off the word problem objectives so get them done.

Test Review for Linear Systems of Equations

At the start of class our class did mental math. Today's mental math was number 14. We, as a class, were then explained the rules, regulations and privileges for the test on Tuesday, March 3rd. The rules, regulations and privileges for the test are as follows:

• We will have the privilege to use Graphmatica but NOT the Internet.
• The test will start at the beginning of class and will end exactly at 12:10, NO LATER.
• If you are found using anything else on the laptops besides Graphmatica(ex. Internet, Blog, etc..) you will have an automatic fail and a possible expulsion from the course.
• You will be allowed to bring an 8x11 piece of paper with whatever you want on it.
• The classroom rules still apply as they would any other day.
• There will be no cheating off of other students.
• There will be NO mp3, iPOD, mp4 or other portable audio/visual information devices allowed at the test.
• You may also use your graphing/scientific calculator if you wish.

Those are the rules, regulations and privileges for the test on Tuesday, March 3rd.

For the rest of the class, we were shown and explained the material for the test which is as follows:

"Big Brother is watching you.... :)"

Mr. Maxs is trying out a new software in which he spys on us to see what we are doing on our computer. He pretty much has control over what we do. Personally, I don't really like it but ohh well. I guess in one way it has a benefit we can see his monitor on our screen which is cool.

After mental math, we worked on ACM objectives.. 15 for 3:40 TODAY!

Work Period

Today in Applied math we started off with Mental Math. Mr. Max went around the class showing people how to solve word problems from Accelerated Math. Today's class is going to be a work period, we can ask Mr. Max any questions we have and work on our Accelerated Math which we need 15 mastered Objectives by Friday's class. There are no slides to post today either. There wil also be a test coming up on Tuesday March 3 2008.

Work Period

Today in class we went over how to do our blog properly, and Mr.Maksymchuk went around and checked all of our joke sheets. Today we also handed in our first sheet of mental math and we got to cross two days that we didn't get a good mark on, and our marks were entered into edline. Mr.Maksymchuk assigned a test for next Tuesday on all the stuff we did in the past two weeks. I am working on my accelerated math today because on Friday, 15 objectives are due.

Linear Systems Word Problems

Hello there, apparently today is my day to scribe, so I guess I'm going to tell you where to find the directions for the word problems unit.

1. Go to the start menu and click on my computer.
2. Click on the J: drive and go to the coursework folder.
3. Then click on the math folder and find our 0809 2nd semester 11 applied folder.
4. In this folder there should be a separate folder called word problems, click on it.

Inside of this folder there is directions for objectives 11-15.

To find objective 11, I would look at the examples in the Adobe folder called 'systems word problems 3', and the 'systems word problems intro' folder.

To find objective 12, I would most likely look in the folder called 'word problems motion and distance mixture.'

To find objective 13, I'd look in the folder called 'age systems word problems.'

For objective 14, I think i'd look in the 'word problems' coin ages folder.

And lastly, for objective 15, I would suggest you look in any of the folders with the word mixture in them, because that's what i'm doing.

I know these aren't the greatest directions as to what exactly your supposed to do, but everybody learns different, so maybe the best way is to find your own way to learn about word problems if these directions don't work for you. Hope this made your day better, Thanks for reading!!

Work Period

Since today is a work period.... I will share with you, my favorite joke.

Two mooses sits in a tree when a submarine flies past them and lands in the next tree, so the first moose says to the other: hey, maybe he lives there

Linear Systems

Today we learned the Types of Linear Systems. We learned the types, their appearences and how many solutions there are to each one. As of today, Monday is the day the joke sheets (None word problems) are going to be due. Mr. Maksymchuck has also said there will be a test coming in the near future.

February, 18, 2009

Today in class we were not given any instruction or any new concepts to learn. We were given time to work on our accelerated math, and or the joke sheets that were homework if you did not have them done. Since we did not get any instruction today i will not be posting any pictures or recording so the advice i can give you is to try, and to try to do homework because it seems to be coming fast.

Solving word problems involving linear system of equations

On tuesday we started off applied class with mental math. We then had a homework check where a few people were having troubles with, he then helped us with a few questions from page 164. Midway through class we started on solving word problems involving linear system of equations. Below is a few diagrams of what we did today.Remember everyone to do your homework.
