Tessellation project

Mr.Maksymchuk will be leaving us all of next week but will be available monday and tuesday on the breaks. He is giving us a project that we will not get his help for, but hopefully we won't need it. On top of that we still need to do our accelerated math. 60 objectives due for June 22nd and the circle and polygon investigations booklet is due tomorrow, June 5th.

TESSELATION: The result of tiling a 2-d plain with shapes. Beware that not all shapes tesselate a plain.

Example of tessellation

18 more days till the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL and SWANAPALOOZA!

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.

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.

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.
