Last blog

Today is our last day of math class. We are completing our portfolios to hand in by the end of the day. The portfolios are worth 10 percent of our overall mark. Our exan is on Monday June 23 and 12:50p.m. Study hard and good luck!

last day

Today is the last day of class so that means everything is due at 3:40.

Our Last Math Class

Today is our final math class. We are finishing up our portfolios. We have to have our portfolios handed in by 3:40 p.m. today. Your portfolio should contain five things, no more and no less. Good luck in finishing your protfolios. Our math exam is on Monday June 23 at 12:50p.m. to 3:40p.m. Good luck with studying and see you all on Monday.

Today is our final math class of the school year!! So all of our work is due today. Therefor today is the last day to work on portfolio's and the blog. We can also use this class to finish all other class work that is not completed.

Portfolio's Are Due Tomorrow!

In class today, we are still working on our portfolios. They are due at the latest at 3:40p.m. tomorrow which is June 19. For those who don't understand what exactly is to be expected, this is what Mr. Maksymchuk told us in class. The portfolio needs five samples of work, we choose three of the samples and Mr. Maksymchuck chooses the other two. Mr.Maksymchuk wants to see your best blog posts (you choose) and our measurement project in your portfolio, the rest you decide. Each sample of work that is in your portfolio needs a response sheet. These sheets are what is going to get you marks, On the one side you need to explain what you learned and how it will be useful and on the flip side you need to explain your mathematical skills you need. This final assignment is worth 10% of your overall grade. So work hard and try and get it done for tomorrow. Good luck.

June 18 Work Period

Today Mr. Max gave us another work period to finish up our portfolios, blog rubric or anything else we need to get done for class. Our portfolios and blog are due at 3:40 tomorrow. Both of these items are worth a big percentage of our final grade.

LilMurls! Buying a vehicle with a Personal Loan

Today in class we did notes and for the rest of the class we got time to work on our assignment from yesterday P -182-183 # 1-8, and todays assignment due for monday questions 1-10 on page 175-176. Also in class today we had three teachers from around the province looking at classroom technology.

mullin24

Today we did mental math, then moved on to mr max's talking to us about registration. here is some of the stuff we talk about.

Today we started off the class by doing mental math, before quickly moving on to a brief debate on whether or not buying a new vehicle is a good idea or not. Then Mr. Max gave us a lesson on buying new vehicles, and then assigned us to do exploration 5.

April 11/2008

Today we started with Mental Math. Next we went over the answers for questions 8 & 9 that we did yesterday for the 'test'. Mr Max used Microsoft Excel, since it would be easier to see just exactly what was happening.

Today we had Ms. Tompson a sub for the class. We were to do accelerated math(finish up the 10% objective from before spring break). There was also text book assignments on chapter 3- operating a vehicle(do all notebook assignments..pg. 139, 146 and 152) then if you are done this assignment you can start on section 5 pg. 163(read and finish practice questions). Have a good class...

First Day After Spring Break

So how was everyone's spring break? Mine was pretty boring, just like a long weekend. The weekend of the week was pretty good though. Anyways, today we started learning about vehicle insurance. Right at this very moment there are 9 of us sitting here. We started new mental math sheets.
Vocab from today's lesson:
-Premium: the amount you pay for insurance for a specific amount of time.

-Rate Class VS. Rate Group
(where you live) (type of vehicle)

-TPL: third party liability: insurance provided to a third-party in the event that you cause personal injury or property damage.

-Deductible: money paid by the insured(you) to the company to activate an insurance policy; designed to PREVENT frivolous/frandulent claims.

-"Claims-Free": never made an insurance claim on your policy; you're considered a "good risk".

work peroid

Today was a work peroid. we worked on our accelerated math so we can get our 10 objectives finished.

March 25/08

Today in class we started off with the regular mental math. It was our 20th time doing it so we had to find out our average and hand them in for marks. People who skipped todays class recieve a 0 for their mark. For the rest of the class we did accelerated math and Mr Max helped everyone with questions, if they had any of course.

On thursday in class we did our TEST. After we were done our test we did some accelerated math.








I got these pictures from google
Here are some links to learn more about mean,median,mode,bar graphs, and circle graphs

Portfolio Value: 10% of your grade
Due: Friday June 6th
You need 5 items student choice on 3 items

The dumb joke of the day.

How many mathematicians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
If k mathematicians can change a light bulb and if one more simply watches them do it, then k+1 mathematicians will have changed the lightbulb. Therefore, by induction, for all n in the positive integers, n mathematicians can change a light bulb.

Blog for Mach 13

Today was a short block we worked on our circle and bar graph assignment i think for the most part it was fairly simple. We didn't learn anything new today it was mostly a work period. Also don't forget we have a test coming up soon so be prepared and good luck on it!!!

Portfolio

Today, Mr. Max asked us what our portfolio should be about. I personally don't know what a math portfolio is supposed to look like (ha ha), so I guess maybe our goals (long term and short term), our achievements (??), and that's really all I came up with. So if anyone else has any other ideas share them!!!

Lilmurls! Central Tendency p-93-95 Q-1-7

Today we had a sub Mr. Richer. We got an assignment yesterday from Mr. Max on "Central Tendency" to work on for today and tomorrow. TEXT BOOK chapter 2 page 93-95 1-7 and fridays assignment is page 100-101 numbers 1-5.

Line Plots (Data Analysis)

Today's notes (slides only):

Blogs

Maybe I should keep this to myself, but if you want an honest opinion... I don't use the blog at all. I think it's pointless because no one really cares. That's just me though. I don't know how anyone else feels, but I probably won't ever use it other than on my day. (It's just an opinion).

When they miss their day, put those people that miss the class on to the next day and use the person that goes next for that day, and so on. It would work. Maybe not the best solution, but yeah. Again, it's only one person's opinion.
:)

Solve This Problem?

So we've discussed in class this recent two-fold problem....Please respond if you care to:

1. How do we encourage students to take responsibility for their 'day' when they're scheduled to post/blog/scribe?

2. What do we do in the event that someone unavoidably misses the class where they're scheduled to be the scribe?

Franklin

We had a test on friday. The test covered everything we did in class this year so far. The test was fairly easy if you studied but a couple of the questions were tricky.

since we didnt do anything in class today i am going to suggest a link to go to because it is a good learning site. It is all games and activities that are math related and could possibly help in the areas that you are stuck in.

Yesterday we learned about credit cards and what they're really like. Personally, credit cards are just hassels, if you need money that bad get it yourself. :)

These are the notes that Mr.Maksymchuk wrote.

Today we had a free block and since there was a small class Mr.Max gave us time to finish our homework if we weren't done. We also did mental math first thing at the start of class. The last thing we did was Mr. Max handed out our first accelerated math assignment..Hope you had a good weekend!!

Compound Interest

Today we were taught a new formula for figuring out compound Interest. We were given an assignment on Pages 38-39 Questions 1-10. This is due for tomorrow.

Compound Interest

Today in class we learned about compound interest..

Compound Interest


is the concept of adding accumulated interest back to the principal, so that interest is earned on interest from that moment on. The act of declaring interest to be principal is called compounding (i.e. interest is compounded).

Compound Interest

is great when you are investing because the interest your investments earn is also earning interest. Compound interest is not so great when you borrow money because it costs more than simple interest. The longer your investment is compounding, the greater the amount of interest you earn. If you invest for a long term, it is in the last years of the term that you see the biggest impact of compounding. The earlier you start saving, the more time there is for an investment to grow. Interest is not always compounded annually. Some financial institututions add interest to the principal every six months. In that case, the interest is compounded semi-anually. There are also daily savings accounts, where interest is compounded on a daily basis.



Terms of compound interest

-Compounded annually

-Compounded daily

-Compounded semi-anually

The rule of 72

To quickly estimate the length of time it takes for an investment to double, use the rule of 72. All you need is the interest rate and the number 72. Divide 72 by the interest rate(as a number, not a percentage) to find the time in years. If the interest rate is 10%, divide 72 by 10 to find the time in years: 72/10=7.2 years. Note that 7.2 years is not 7 years and 2 months. It is 7 years plus 0.2 times 12 months. 7.2 years is therefore 7 years plus 2.4 months.



The 'Rule of 72' is a simplified way to determine how long an investment will take to double, given a fixed annual rate of interest. By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return, investors can get a rough estimate of how many years it will take for the initial investment to duplicate itself. For example, the rule of 72 states that $1 invested at 10% would take 7.2 years ((72/10) = 7.2) to turn into $2. In reality, a 10% investment will take 7.3 years to double ((1.10^7.3 = 2).When dealing with low rates of return, the Rule of 72 is fairly accurate. This chart compares the numbers given by the rule of 72 and the actual number of years it takes an investment to double.

0.3Notice that, although it gives a quick rough estimate, the rule of 72 gets less precise as rates of return become higher. Therefore, when dealing with higher rates, it's best to calculate the precise number of years algebraically by means of the future value formula.

just work

Today we did our mental math. After that we talked about our lesson 3 simple interest.

February 15, 2008 Blog

Today, February 15, we started the class off with mental math. Mr. Maksymchuck did not save the screen shot so i could not up load it onto this blog. Mr. Maksymchuck also assigned us some homework that is due on Tuesday, February 19, and the start of class for a homework check...that is all...

Duchesne's first blog

February 13 2008

Today in class we did mental math and corrected our homework from page 18 questions 1-4, we corrected them on a spreadsheet and also made a spreadsheet. We started to do question 5 on page 19

These are the corrections for questions 1-4 on page 18
