Exponential Regression

Today, we learned about exponential regression.

Lock down and Work period

Today, lock down was initiaded during second block. The few kids that came to class were all buzzing about the lock down so Mr.Maks thought it would be a good idea to discuss it. He told us that the lock down today was real. There was a potentially dangerous and armed man at the appartment buildings across from the school so the police made the decision to tell the school to go into lock down. The conclusion of the lock down went well; everyone was quiet and the situation was controlled.
There was only nine kids in class today because some were gone for the Skills competition and some were gone to take their drivers ed test, some were just absent. Because of the absentees our test was pushed back to wednesday. Yay! After we finished talking about the lock down we just had a work period to catch up on accelerated math and whatever else we were working on. Just a reminder there are 35 objectives do on April 23rd.

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.

Substition Method

So mr.maksymchuk spent a few minutes explaining to us that math is fake. It is something that we learn to build neurons and pathways in our brains or something so that we can solve problems when we're older. That's what i thought he was saying even if nobody really understood what he meant. He gave us an example saying that we will never have to find the slope of a purple line but we will wait in line to mexico and that's what learning about math is good for. I don't know, i didn't get it but anyways. After that, he taught us the steps of the substition method.

How to create a comment box using Excel

How to make a comment on Microsoft Excel is quick, simple, and very useful. First you right click on a corner of a box. Then a list will appear and you click on "insert comment". A comment box will show up with a little red triangle in the corner. In the box you can put whatever you want. Most comments are used to explain what the box is used for. For example, if you have a formula in excel to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, you can put comments on the boxes telling you where you would put the lengths and widths of the rectangle. After, if you want to read the comment you can drag your mouse over the red triangle and the message will appear. Here is a picture of a comment box on Excel.
