Sept 30. Daily Recap.

Today we went through the third and fourth method of solving these sequences. The first method was the Shodor method, which was an online method and is very simple. The last method was on the graphing calculator and it is done by changing the mode on the calculator. We were then assigned question number 7 of the handout.

Sept 29 Daily Recap.

Today we began a new unit called sequences and series and Mr Maks thinks it will take us about 4 days of class to finish these lessons on this unit. He breifly explained the unit and then gave us a handout and began doing an example question in number 9. He showed us two ways to do this problem, using the Calculator (Home screen method) and Excel. Or homework he assigned for us was to find the remaining two methods.

Sept. 28 Daily Recap

Yesterday we finished up the last part of our test with the sub. I felt most of the test was fairly easy and understandable. I don't think there is a part of this unit i don't understand now, and i feel i'm ready to move on.

Sept 24 Daily Recap.

Today was a short block class that was used as a review. We skipped Mental Math and Mr. Maks jumped right into showing us examples and questions throughout the unit. We basically reviewed about 2 weeks of math as much as possible within the 45 minutes that we were working.

Sept 23, Daily Recap.

Today we did a very tough mental math with a few questions that really made us think!!! Once again we had a homework check and i didn't have it done... So I am going to have to work on it later today some time. The majority of the class consisted of a lesson/ question example done by Mr. Maks on the board. He did number 5 of exercise 8. He then assigned question 7 of the same exercise for homework.

Sept 22. 2009 Daily Recap

Today Mr maks succesfully angered many of the students by doing the Direct and Indirect Networks by hand, which took about half an hour!!! And then he pulled out the graphing calculator and showed us that using that piece of technology, it takes as long as it does to punch it in to complete the matricies. We ended the class with an assignment from our handout which consisted of doing questions 2, 3, 4, and 5 of exercise 7.

Sept 21, 2009 recap.

Yesterday we had a homework check on questions 2 and 4 of exercise 6. Mr. Maks then corrected question 2 for us. I decided to do question 3 and 4 to complete the homework assignment for Tuesday.
