today we had a work class to catch up on accelerated math, we will also have the rest of the week to catch up.

Friday, December 4, 2009

Today we had a work class and I almost finished my entire booklet of accelerated math. All I have left to do now is to go through and do the questions I had trouble with.

Wednesday, December 2, 2009

Today we had a work class. But Mr. Max had a problem from Mr.Webster he wanted to wrap 3/4 inch cable around a drum but did not know hoe big to make the drum by the end of the class he had solved it.

Today we learned how to use a TVM solver on our graphing calculators. We also got a question to do with using the TVM solver and it is due for the beginning of next class.

Monday, November 23, 2009

today we got a few worksheets due for 1:30 tomorrow. they are on simple and compound interest so I am making good use of the calculators we made while doing the notes.

Thursday, November 19, 2009

today we made an intrest calculator to use for our accelerated math. We then worked on accelerated math until the end of class.

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

today we went over questions 2 and 3 of the quiz yesterday i did 2 wrong but somehow still got the right answer. On Thursday we are doing 4 and 5 for another quiz.

Monday, November 9, 2009

today we did a test on programing inequalities I think I did alright but I won't know until tomorrow. We were given 5 questions and told to do 2 of them. I did number 2 and number 5.

Thursday, November 5, 2009

today was a work period we got alot done on accelerated math and thanks to the inequality stuff we have been doing accelerated math seems alot easier.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Today was a work class we worked on the 15 questions that were set for today, when we got bored of those though we did accelerated math.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

today we went over our new unit of un-equal linear equations its going alright so far but we got assigned the first 15 questions.

Monday, October 19, 2009

today we did a lesson on linear regression it was extremely complicated and i couldn't really follow what Mr.Max was doing on the calculator i hope that james can find a way to do it on excel because that would be alot easier.

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Today was a working class but I got 100% Mental Math for the first time.
We were given a box and told to use any of the tools we had to get the maximum volume and then explain how we got it.

Friday, October 9, 2009

today we were shown fractal pictures and the google street view where we found a dude washing his car the rest of the class was a working one.

Wednesday, October 7, 2009

Today we learned how to use exel spreadsheets to answer quadratic function questions we also corrected up to question 4.

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

Today He showed us how to do the domain and range of a quadratic function and how to recognize the x intercepts and how to tell chich way the parabolas tipped.

Friday, October 2, 2009

today we did a work period again the accelerated math that was due today was changed to monday. These 11-15 accelerated mah questions take a very long time.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

today we went over the fact that unfinshed homework is unacceptable and we worked on accelerated math and our unfinshed word problems.

explaining the substitution method :

2x+4y=8
3x+y=-13

start with the y that has 1 for a coefficent
then start to solve it by geting the y to the other side to get it into y=mx+b form
3x+y=-13
y=-3x-13
now you have what equals y so you can substitute it into the next equation
2x+4y=8
2x+4(-3x-13)=8
then solve
2x-12x-52=8
collect like terms
-10x=8+52
-10x=60
then divide to get x by itself
-10x/-10=60/-10
then x by itself
x=-6
then plug that in to either equation to get the y intercept to ge the ordered pair
2x+4y=8
2(-6)+4y=8
-12+4y=8
12-12+4y=8+12
4y/4=20/4
therefore y=5
then the ordered pair would be
(-6,5)

today we did more on just plotting the linear systems, i think i might have trouble with the rest of it. but so far so good.
I tried to remember out how to do some of the question because they were a lot like some of the pre-calc questions from last year. i had trouble because i thought we had to do the therefore stuff but insteead you just have to plot them on a graph.

Reflection 2 sept 14

Today we got did some more things on linear equations.More on the actual substituting i still get it which is good.

Friday, September 11, 2009

Reflection 1

Reflection: I was very confused at the start with all the calculator stuff but i think i can pick it up as i go along. At least i got the logic part i kinda wish all math was that simple to understand.so far so good.....

Goals sept 11

Get over 75%

Do all the Homework

Have no unfinished assignments
