Scribepost for ,February 10 , 2009.

Today in math we started of with our daily workbook " Number Of The Day " .
For those who missed math today, the number was 7214.586. For this particular number, you should now be able to do the following ...

1. Dividing the number by 2 .
2. Writing the number in expanded form.
3. Rounding the number to the nearest hundredth.
4. Finding the number in the tenths place.
6. Doubling the number.
7. Writing the number in expanded notation.
8. Writing a power using the number in the 100Th & the 10s place.
9. Then write the factored form, for the power you made from number 8.
10.Cubing the number in the ones place.
11. Squaring the number in the hundreds place.
12. Dividing the number by 3.55 and rounding the solved number into the nearest hundredth.
13. Finding the product of all the numbers.
14. List all the prime numbers.
15. Writing the number in Scientific Notation.
16. Finding what the whole number is divisible by.
17. Combining the numbers in the ones & tens place to make a two digit number, then writing the prime factors.
20. Writing a fraction using the number in the 1000s place (denominator) and the 10Th's place (numerator).
21. Making a improper fraction using any numbers.
22. Making a mixed fraction using any numbers.
23. Writing the answer for 22 , and expressing it into a decimal.
24. Drawing a picture to represent the answer for 22.
25. Writing the answer for 21 as a % (percent).

" REMEMBER TO GET THIS DONE BECAUSE IT'S FOR HOMEWORK AND TOMORROW THERE'LL BE ANOTHER SET OF NUMBERS FOR HOMEWORK".

The following thing we did was finishing up all the incomplete work (worksheets), from our "Provincial Folders". These worksheets would normally be the recent ones we did. They are ....

Patterns : STEPS ...

a. Construct and extend a pattern.
(make a continuation to the past 1-3 terms)
b. Represent a pattern pictorially.
(make a picture representation of the pattern)
c. Describe the pattern.
(algebraic language)
d. Develop a chart.
(line graph)
e. Make a prediction.
f. Generate Graphs
(interpret, interpolate, extrapolate)
g. Write an "Algebraic Expression" for the pattern.
( 3xt=(n)+1 )
h. Predict "nth" values.
(any)


And the rest are pretty simple ...

Understanding Fractions, Mental Math (132/6), Ordering Fractions from Greatest to Least, Matching the Fractions (picture) to the Symbols, Representing Numbers (Represent one half as many ways as you can.


Finally the homework for today is to solve the following question.

Write an "Algebraic Equation", and solve it for the following statement.
" Daylan talked for 45 minutes in todays class ... what did he do for the rest of the leftover minutes ... "

I choose Joseph to do the next scribepost ....
P.S. Sorry if there were NO pictures, videos and other things, and sorry for the LATE scribepost .

LEAVE A COMMENT , THANK YOU =) !

Today in math we did number of the day and the number is 8129.693. Don't forget, if you didn't finish it at school, its for homework.

After that, we had notes to copy down and if you weren't there, here they are:

Patterns :
e.g. construct a pattern extending pattern
1 2 3 4 5

Describe the pattern using your own words.

" Each term has the same amount of spaces as the term number.

e.g. 1 space in term 1

" 1st term has 2 vertical lines, each term after that has one additional vertical line. All vertical lines are connected by a horizontal line at the top.

Create a Chart (either)

Predictions:

I believe term 25 will have 151.

Graph:

Algebraic Expression:

Must work for every term

2 t + 1 = Lines <>

^ ^
Expression Equation

Nth = Means any number.

2(t)+1=lines

2(25)+1=lines

50+1=lines

51 =lines

When we finished that, we worked on our Provincial Folders and it was on Patterns.

I apologize for putting it up late and for not putting any videos or websites.

Thank You for checking out my scribe post.


I choose Jem to do the next scribepost.
Please tell me if I made any mistakes or forgot anything and don't forget to comment.

Scribe Post for Feb.6 2009

Today in Math, we did Number of the Day.
The number was: 7156.248 If you didn't finish this in class, it is homework.

After Number of the Day, we did another worksheet for our Provincial folder:

Mental Math

Solve the following problems in your head.

Describe as many methods as you can to solve each.

1. 132 / 6=
2. 56 - 7=
3. 3290 + 90=
4. 35000 + 6000=
5. 873 - 752=
6. 40 x 90=
7. 17 x 90=
8. 312 + 673=
9. 50 x 40=
10. 0.99 - 0.76=

You can just solve these on a piece of loose leaf.

Homework for the weekend:

Make an addition, subtraction, multiplication and division algebraic question, where the letter or variable equals to 6. Then solve and verify your own questions.

Eg.:

1. A + 1 = 2

A + 1 - 1 = 4 - 1

A = 3

Verify:

A + 1 = 4

3 + 1 = 4

4 = 4

2. A - 1 = 2

A - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1

A = 3

Verify:

A - 1 = 2

3 - 1 = 2

2 = 2

3. 2A/2 = 6/2

A = 3

Verify:

2A = 6

2(3) = 6

6 = 6

4. A / 3 = 1
A / 3 x 3 = 1 x3
A = 3

Verify:

A / 3 = 1

3 / 3 =1

1 = 1

The PURPLE means it's boxed.

If I missed anything or if you spotted any mistakes, please leave a comment.

REMINDER: The test for next week is going to be on Wednesday.

I pick Allysa for the next scribepost.

Sribepost for February 5,2009

Today in math we did a test about balancing shapes,fractions, and algebra.



This is how our test look like:
(this is only the questions)

The balancing shapes has to equal 129. The clue was each of the arms is equal in weight and that :




This are the shapes that we were to do in our test:





The next part is about fractions:

1. order from least to greatest
1/3, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6

2. order from greatest to least
2/5, 4/5, 1/5, 3/5, 5/5

3. place in descending order ( that means greatest to least)
3/2, 1 1/4, 2/3, 2 1/1o


The last part of the test is the algebra questions:
We had to solve it then verify it and we have to show all our work!

1. a + 3 = 9
2. B - 4 = 2
3. C divide 3 = 7
4. d9 = 18
Then after we were done our test and we still had time we did number of the day!!

the number was 7613.248...... & remember it's always homework if you don't finish it!!

then we corrected our test!!!


I choose April to do the next scribe post!!...

Today in math we did TLE (The Learning Equation) . What we did in tle was Linear equations part 1. All we had to do was to solve equations like these .

Example:
x+5= 6
n+2= 3
y-4= 2
q-8= -6

In tle we had some questions that asked us :

Example:

Stevie's Weight was minus 14lbs = 70 lbs . What is Stevie's weight?

Then you had to solve it using algebra. Then you had to verify if you got your solution correct or not.
When we were done tle Mr isfled asked us to go on this website coolkids.com .

For the next scribepost I choose Kathleen .. Good luck! (:

Today in math we checked our home work from yesterday on algebra.

1. A+7=10 Steps: A+7-7 = 10-7 / A = 3 Verify: A + 7 = 10 / 3 + 7 = 10 / 10 = 10

2. 7 + A = 10 Steps: 7+A-7=10-7/A=3: 7+A=10/7+3=10/10=10

3. B-4=3 Steps: B-4+4=3+4/B=7

4. 4-B=3 Steps:4-b-4=3-4/b=1/b=1 x -1=1

5.4c=12 Steps:4 divided by 4=12 divided by4 c=3

6.C4=12 Steps:c4 divided by 4=12 divided by 4 c=3

7. D over 2=7 Steps: 2 over D (2)=7(2)D=14

8. 2 over D=7 steps: 2 over D=7x7/2 over 7 = 7d over 7/2 over 7 equals d

Then we worked on our Provencial folders.Mr.Isfield gave us assignments.One question is,show me one half in many ways: 50%,0.5,1 over 2, 2 over 4, 3 over 6, 4 over 8.








I Jim uy pick Brenden for the next scribepost:D
