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.

Today in math we started out with the always fun mental math. Everyone should if you have to re-write the test put date that they would like to re-write it, if you would like to have some say in the test date. Today we were given about a question about maximizing the volume of a open top box.
The picture on the below is the question that we have to answer. On Wednesday march 24th you will have to have a box made and be ready to hand it in to Mr. Maksymchuk. There are many different things that you are able to make your box out of including things like paper, cardboard and if you would like you could even use metal.
