Math Class For April 6th

For April 6th 2009's math class, the substitute teacher took time in explaining with us the basic introduction to "Integers". So for anyone who wasn't there , or who was there but didn't quite get the notes. "Keep On Reading (:"

The word "Integer" literally means untouched or whole in Latin. Integers from the set of "all whole positive and negative numbers and zero".

REMEMBER !

- Positive Integers : Numbers greater than zero
- Negative Integers : Numbers less than zero

Integers are written with a "positive or negative" sign in front of the number. eg. - (+1), (-1), +1, -1

NOTE !
Often positive numbers are written without the (+) .
eg. - +1 can be written as "1"

The sign of a integer indicates its position relative so zero. eg. of a numbers on a "Cartesian Plane"eg. - 2,2 (q1) , -2,2 (q2) , -2,-2 (q3) , 2,-2 (q4)


Opposite Integers

Every integer has a negative counterpart, when these are added together .. they have a sum of zero. The pairing of opposite integers are also known as " zero pair".


eg. - (+1) + (-1) =0

That's The End Of The Note Taking Parts ..
but work wasn't over yet ..

We were all given worksheets about "Integers" with the exceptions of the people who weren't there. If ever you didn't happen to finish it in class, remember that it IS homework.

The first thing we did today was number of the day, as usual.
The number was 8756.934, in case you weren't there today, or you
didn't write it down.

After number of the day, we did notes.

Bisect - Bi means "two".
Sect means "cut".
So bisect means to cut in two.
Perpendicular Bisector - A line that divides a line segment in half and is at right angles to it.
eg.

How can you create or draw a perpendicular bisector?
1. Free hand O.K. but not perfect.
2. Protractor gets us 90° angle.
Ruler cuts line in half.




3. Use a compass and create arcs.

a) Open compass to greater than half the distance of line.
b) Place compass of pt. (point) A draw an arc.
c) Place compass on pt. B draw an arc.
d) Use a ruler to connect the intersections of the arcs that line is a perpendicular bisector.

Angles -
angle - the figure formed by two lines with a common end point called a vertex.

acute angle - less than 90°

obtuse angle - more than 90°
less than 180°

angle bisector - the line that divides an angle into two equal parts.

How do we make an angle bisector?
1. Free hand not perfect not accurate enough.
2. Protractor.

3. Compass.

a) Arc from vertex,
b) Arc from pt. S (intersection of line and arc)
c) Arc from pt. T (intersection of line and arc)
d) Line from arc intersection to vertex.

After we did those notes, we worked on some Math Links.
Pg. 116 - 121.

Thank you for reading my scribe, and please comment after, if I made any mistakes, or errors.
I choose JORDAN for the next scribe.


P.S : Sorry my scribe was a little late, my computer kept shutting down.

Today in math we did number of the day which was 1936.295. Number of the day is always homework! We had homework and notes:

Area= Area is the number of square units in a two dimensional region.

eg: 4 cm squared
4- amount cm- units

Area of rectangle or square

Length x width = area

a=L x W
a=6 x 2
a= 12 m squared

eg:

Parallelogram= a four sided figure with opposite sides parallel and equal in legth.

I means sides are equal in length
II
^ means lines are parallel

base= a side of a two dimensional closed figure
=common symbol is b.

height= the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
=common symbol is h.
eg:


Perpendicular= a line that meets another line at a right or 90 degree angle.

a= L x W a= b x h
a= 6 x 2 a= 6 x 3

a= 12 m squared a= 12 m squared

EEach height is the exact same size.

Area of Parallelogram

a= b x h

h= 3 cm a= b xh

b= 9 cm a= 9 x 3
a= 27 cm squared

Find the area of the following figures.

A:

Please comment me and tell me if I did any mistakes!!!

The number for number of the day was 2468.135

AFTER NUMBER OF THE DAY, WE WROTE DOWN SOME MORE PROBABILITY NOTES:

RANDOM: an event in which every outcome has an equal chance of occuring.
EXPERIMENTAL PROBABILITY: the probability of an event occuring baced on experimental results.
THEORETICAL PROBABILITY: the expected probability of an event occuring.

EG. Flipping a coin.

THEORETICAL PROBABILITY:
5 HEADS 5 TAILS

EXPERIMENTAL PROBABILITY: [ we flipped a coin 10 times ]
HEADS: 4 TAILS: 6

*The larger or more trials in an experiment, the closer experimental probability gets to theoretical probability.

AFTER WE WROTE DOWN THOSE NOTES, WE WENT INTO PG. 180 (1-11) IN MATH LINKS.

I choose Joshua for the next scribepost.

ScribePost, March 9/09

Today we did our Number of the day which is 7362.415 and It's HOMEWORK!!!




Then we did....





MORE PROBABILITY





P(rolling a prime number) with a regular die










P(rolling prime) = favourable
_________
possible


= 3
____ =__1_ 1:2 or 25%

6 2

Finding the probability of rolling two sixes in a row with a regular die.

INDEPENDENT- the outcome of one event has no effect on the outcome of another event.

SAMPLE SPACES- all possible outcome of an experiments.

TREE DIAGRAM: A diagram used to organize outcome contains a branch possible outcomes of an event.

- PROBABILITY of landing a coin on heads and rolling an odd number.

coin flip

A. Trendy , Shana, and Tracie are on Team A. Jordan Micheal, terrance, Sean and Sani are on Team B.

This one we have to solve this problem by using a diagram to show all the possible outcomes if the coach assigns each on Team B defend against a player on Team A

PLEASE COMMENT ME .... if there is any mistakes just Comment. ****

scribepost for march 5

today in math we did number of the day. The number was 9965.267 you and if did not finish it it was homework as always.

after that we did our test on probability since it was Thursday.

if you finished the test before it was time you had to do this:

we did not get to go over it.

after we did the test we went over it and then we went over the homework from yesterday.

then Mr. Isfeld gave us a question to do:

what is the probability of landing a coin on heads and rolling a 3 with a normal die

to find the answer you need a:

probability tree/diagram

H

/ / / / / / /

1 2 3 4 5 6

T

/ / / / / /

1 2 3 4 5 6

p(H and 3)= favourable outcomes/possible outcomes

p(H and 3)=1/12 or 1:12 or 8.3%

HW

what is the probability of rolling a 2 on 1 die and drawing the out of a bag containing the letters S N O W

OLD PRACTICE

FIND 72% OF 120

SORRY FOR THE LATE SCRIBE AND FOR NO VIDEO MY COMPUTER WAS ACTING UP

THANKS FOR READING MY SCRIBE OH AND DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT AND I CHOOSE

Today in Class we did number of the day. The number is 7791.692.

Remember it's for homework everyday !





Then we continued on our Probability notes.

Outcome- is the possible result of a probability experiment.




Favourable outcome- is a succesful result in a probability experiment.

eg.

The tiles S, N, O, W are placed in a bag.

1. What is the probability of drawing a letter "W" from the bag?
Another way to write the same question is P(W).

P(W) = Favourable outcomes
Possible Outcomes

= 1/4 (fraction)

= 25% (percent)
= 1:4 (ratio)




2. P(S or O) = favourable

possible

= 2/4 - 1/2

= 50%
= 1:2



3. P(consonant) = favourable

possible

= 3/4
= 75%
= 3:4





4. P(B) = favourable

possible

= 0/4

= 0%




A bag contains 10 marbles, show the probability of the following event as a fraction, percent and ratio.

a. P(red marbles) = 6/10 - 3/5
= 60%
= 3:5

b. P(red, blue or green marbles) = 10/10 - 1/1
=100%
=1:1

c. P(not a red marble) = 4/10 - 2/5
= 40%
= 2:5


The letters M, O, U, N, T, A, I, N are in a bag.
a. P(N) = 2/8 - 1/4
= 25%
= 1:4

b. P(consonant) = 4/8 - 1/2
= 50%
= 1:2

c. P(letter) = 8/8 - 1/1
= 100%
= 1:1

What is the probability of flipping a coin heads and rolling a 6 ?

Dont Forget: Please comment on what i did bad or good.
(P.S. sorry if it was plain, this is just my first time)

I choose Charity for the next scribepost !
