mental math? or orange juice?

Today in math class we started off the day with mental math. Then we moved on to continue working on our circle assignment which is due today.

Mr Maksymchuk gave us a quote today which stated, " mental math is better for your brain that orange juice is" He has based this theory on the concept that mental math starts making you think in the morning which will prepare you for the rest of your day.

Geometry Assignment

Today Mr. Max had us continue working on our Geometry assignments, or work on accelerated math. Don't worry, we're allowed to use programs like Euklid to make nice circles and what not.

Don't forget to add "Chord" to your vocabulary for the Geo assignment!

For those of you who weren't here, the vocabulary words for the circles are;

Radius
Diameter
Circumference
Sector
Secant Line
Tangent Line
Inscribed Angle
Central Angle
Congruency
Arc
Minor Arc
Major Arc
Cyclic Quadrilateral
Bisector
perpendicular Bisector
and Chord

Geometry Assignment

Today we were assigned to do the project in the video. The project consisted of many definitions that we had to find and after we were done getting the definitions we had to make a diagram either on a paper or a program on the computer such as "Euklid."

Mr.Maksymchuk also told the class today if he thinks we are far behind on our Accelerated Math objectives then he will be sending a message home to our parents to "Increase our motivation."

Theorems

Today we started with number 28 mental math, after we finished mental math Mr. Maksymchuk did some notes about theorems, including the 7 circle theorems. Once we finished that we just worked on any work you needed to get done.

Senior 3 Applied Math-Test RETAKE??

In regards to the systems of linear equations test we took awhile back. I was thinking we should redo the test some time after school next week on the 27th of April or May 4th. Please feel free to blog your opinion. (ASAP)

Euklid

Super happy fun time?! I think so!

Start out with mental math, of course.

Mr.Maksymchuk says DO THIS! .. Pretty much all he said was to use euklid and figure out all the neat things to do on that program than he says "make snakes" "go play" "go figure out how to change colors" and such.

25 minutes for catch up, feel free to post your stick men or whatever you make on the blog :)

Today in class Mr.Maksymchuk showed us the "One or Two game". The object of the game is by adding by one or two you have to get to twenty. Also we were given the famous "How Many Mcnuggets Can't You Buy?" Here is the info for both games.

Yesterday Mr Maksymchuk explained, what may have been, one of the hardest questions for Linear Programming. He gave us this example as a review to test our skills so far in this unit. If you have any questions at this point or aren't quite sure of what is going on ask Mr. Maksymchuk or classmates!!!! The word problem we did for the example was about explosives and we had to find out the maximum profitfor each year. Above, is the video, step by step, working through the problem.

* Remember to try to stay caught up with accelerated math! Only a couple months left of school.

Work Period

Today, is a work period due to Mr.Maksymchuk teaching us so much in the last few days he wants us to do accelerated math.

Linear Programming

Today Mr. Maksymchuk taught most of us something new called Linear Programming. I think the whole class learned a little bit better without Mr. Lewis Oman here today but we also did not have as many laughs as we do in a class period. Mr. Maksymchuk taught us a turtle farm and rabbit farm question today which ended up just being a 100 rabbit farm which turns into the biggest profit. The video upload is not working out right now so i will upload it another time, but i think that is all i am going to write about because it is a monday morning. Have a great week :).

Why did the chicken cross the road

Compliments of www.collinson.fr

Why did the chicken cross the road ???? I stumbled on this its awesome!


KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.

PLATO: For the greater good.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.

TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that's the only trip the establishment would let it take.

SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.

JACK NICHOLSON: 'cause it f.....g wanted to. That's the f.....g reason.

RONALD REAGAN: I forget.

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.

JOHNNY ROTTEN: Because it was stapled to the punk rocker.

JOHNNY CARSON: Because it heard there was a man over there laying bricks and it wanted to see for itself!

LOUIS FARRAKHAN: The road, you see, represents the black man. The chicken 'crossed' the black man in order to trample him and keep him down.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road" And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?

RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.

MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever motive there was.

JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place, anyway"

FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

OLIVER STONE: The question is not, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?"

DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.

EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature. RALPH WALDO

EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road. . . it transcended it.

COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.

KPMG CONSULTING: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. KPMG Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), KPMG helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. KPMG Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with KPMG consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing and enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken' mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. KPMG Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.

Its TIME!

Math has began. Anyway I'm bored now cause im supposed to scribe so I'll tell you a joke or two. /\ _ /\

A mushroom walks in a bar and sits down. The bartender looks up and say to the mushroom "sorry we don't serve mushrooms here"
The mushroom greatly saddened says "Why? I'm a fun-gi."
(compliments from memory, told to me by by my father)

Ha ha ha ha a here's another joke.

A french man about to be electrocuted by the chair proclaims to his executioner "Tomorrow's head lines, french fries."

A man about be electrocuted by the chair asks his executioner "Is this thing safe?"

(Compliments for the last two jokes come from Wikipedia on a section about dark humar...)

Never lend a geologist money. He considers a million years ago to be recent.

(compliments from Bathroom reader, Its where I learned the joke)

Haaa okay enough jokes onto math! Im actually curiously wondering if anything NEW will be taught today... SO in the mean time another joke


A man was walking home alone one night when he hears a BUMP...BUMP...BUMP... behind him. Walking faster, he looks back, making out an image of an upright coffin banging its way down the middle of the street towards him...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...

The man begins to run towards his home, and the coffin bounces quickly after him, faster...faster ...BUMP ... BUMP ...BUMP. He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, and locks the door behind him. However, the coffin crashes through his door, with the lid of the coffin flapping...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP... on the heels of the terrified man.

Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, the man locks himself in. His heart is pounding. With a CRASH, the coffin breaks down the door. Coming slowly towards him, the man screaming, reaches for something, anything...

All he can find is a box of cough drops!

Desperate, he throws the cough drops at the coffin ...



...and...of...course,



...the coffin stops!

SUB DAY!!!

Hi, so today was supposed to be blogged by Uriah, however, beacause of my fellow team mates and me are going to the F1 in schools competition in Winnipeg tomorrow i wont be here to blog. By the way, F1 stands for Formula 1. So like i was saying today was a Sub day and we had Ms. Rogers as our sub. We were to work on ACC if im not mistaken i do believe that Mr. Maksymchuk told me and ryan that for Friday we are supposed to be in the Neibourhood of about 36 or 37. Other than this Have a great day!

He's back, and he's kewl!

That's right! This Thursday the Kong is coming back to take out trash and clean up this one horsed blog!
You better be there. Same bloggin' time, same bloggin' channel, same bloggin' site!
Well on Thursday! Not Wednesday! Cause I traded with James! 0_0

Today we started by doing some of our accelerated math, and we had planned on doing mental math later, but Mr. Maks decided not to disturb our working. so all we did was worked on accelerated math.

Today we started the day off great with no metal math (or MM). We had a sub cause Mr. Maksymchuk was at home watching Dr Phil, the Office, and Dr. House. Anywhoo. We have to keep working on Accelerated Math. We have to get up to 26 objectives. SO Keep up people.

This morning Mr. Maxsymchuk asked me this: Post something awesome. I believe that the picture above this text best describes the word “awesome.” If you please allow me to explain what is going on, but as you can see for yourself it’s pretty self explanatory. Skywalker on guitar, Solo on guitar, Vader on bass, Chewbacca on drums, R2-D2 and C3-P0 cover synth and keys. This picture also has the ability to solve world peace.

Picture from Demotivateus.com Leo out.

Today's Class we started out with the usual Mental Math (MM). From here the class proceeded into learning more about exponential function growth and decay. The following on how to preform and solve these problems is shown in the examples below:

Depth of water and its light

The intensity of light visible underneath the surface of a pond decreases by 5% for each meter of depth below the surface. Write as exponential function which models the intensity of light at any depth, d, below the surface. Let Io represent surface and I(d) represent intensity at d meters.....

The above shows the four different possible answers for the following question, these are obtained by reading the question and putting what is given into formula. The graph shows that I(d) or Y is the light that is revealed from the water, this can go no higher than 100% light, because 100% is just your max. The d being the distance is what mover along the horizontal region. From whats give we know that for every meter we go down we lose 5% or so of light. Its easy enough from there, just look and do the math!

Animal species population

Just graph and solve!

• If you don't understand any of the following shown then leave your questions in the comment box and i will try to the best of my ability to help!
