Chat box

You have been doing a great job so far 7-42 with the blog, from creating amazing scribe posts, completing assignments, to being a responsible bloger with your posts and comments. Therefore I am giving you more power over your communication with one another. I have installed a chat box on your blog that will give you the power to not only chat real time with other class members, but links you with the blogs of all grade 7 math classes.

So be responsible with this new tool, I trust that no one will abuse it.

Happy blogging.

Mr. R

Assignment reminder

Remember everyone that there is an assignment posted on my blog that is due February 28th. Go to grade 7 math Blogorama to find the question.

Mr. R

here is an interesting grade 8 q|_|35t10n

George, Sam, Andrew and Brad each had four dates to four different dances with four different girls, named Cher, Connie, Melissa and Kendra. On the second date, George dated Connie and Brad dated Kendra. On the third date Andrew went out with Melissa and Sam went out with Connie. Melissa went out with George and Cher went out with Sam on the fourth date. What couples went out together on the first date if no pairs went out more than once?

Can you guess where I found this? 2 late: http://www.stfx.ca/special/mathproblems/grade8.html

New look to the blog

As everyone might notice their is a new look to the blog today. As there are four seperate classes of grade 7 math, I have decided that all four classes should have their own unique look and feel to the blog.

So while everything has a new look to it here at 7-42, you should quickly be able to adapt to your posh new surroundings.


Have fun blogging everyone!

homework

Your homework for monday Feb 6th is Worksheet 3.12, the entire page.

Here are some hints for a few of the questions
10. you need to solve inside the brackets first (6 x 7) and then multiply it by 1/2.
14. Solve 12 x 1/2 then multiply by 1.6 to get the answer
25. Try multiplying first and see if this helps
26. 12.3 would equal 11.3 + 1. Is there a way to get this?
27. What is 18 x 2 = ? Can you somehow get this number with 19 - 7 x 3 ?

here's a classic

so.. if a train from Blatown which is 2000km from Blaciti, leaves at 8:00pm on sunday and travels at 200km/h what time and day will the train reach Blaciti? although this may seem easy at first, remember that hours have 60 mins, and that days have 24 hrs with 12 pm hrs and 12 am hrs
