Oct 21 Daily Recap.

Today we did not do mental math and got a handout that is called the portfolio booklet. Mr Maks ashured us that it is not a mathimatical portfolio though! He assigned us for to do question 2 A) which was pretty complex and included replacing ceiling tiles. There was no real way to evaluate the question with a calculator or computer resource. The way i did it was with a pencil and paper and arithmatic. The calculator was used for the simple add, subtract, divide and multiply scenarios to speed up the question. And a simple, ugly diagram helped VERY much in the completion of this question!

Today we futhered our new knowledge of finance. We went through the same question and did all the same math, but this time on microsoft Excel instead of the Calculator like yesterday. I like the Excel way of completing these type of questions.

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.
