Question#1: We've learned how to write algebraic equations in the form of mx + b = y. Convert these two sentances into algebraic equations using the above formula.

Sentence 1: Scott is 2 years older than Donald who turns 12 on June 16th 2006. Write this sentence in the format of mx + b = y, then convert it into an expression which allows us to figure out the age of Scott.

D + S = Y

11 + 2 = 13

Sentence 2: Elizabeth has $200 in her savings account. She makes $40 every two weeks babysitting for her next door neighbours. If Elizabeth saves all of her money solve for how much money she will have in one year.

200 + 40n

Question 2 : Creation. You need to create two questions for your classmates that cover diffrent concepts (ex: T-Charts, patterns, equations, graphs etc.) that you have learned in this unit on algebra. You then need to show how to sole the questions. Your mark will be based upon the level of question's difficulty, and the effort put into your answer .

1. 10a - 15 = 5a + 10

First of all you have to get all the variables on one side.

10a - 5a = 15 + 10

And then you have to add & subtract.

5a = 25

And finally you have to get the variable by it's self.

5a = 25

25 divided 5 a = 5

My pictures don't end up showing ?!

Question 3 : Reflection. You need to look back at the chart that we filled out during the first day of the unit. This is the chart where you coloured a topic red, yellow or green. You now need to pick one concept that you coloured yellow or red and reflect in words what new skill/idea that you have learned on this topic.

I learned how to create an algebraic formula in words and how to solve an unknown ( kind of ) .

Question 4 : Preparing for the final exam. You need to think about the yeat that has past in mathematics and decide which topic is your weakest, and what you need to learn during class review in order to prepare yourself for the finial exam. It is not enough to say fractions, instead pick your weakest area of fractions, say the subtraction of fractions, and give an example of what you don't under stand.

My weakest topic in math is algebra and intergers ? . I don't really know how to make equations and how to solve some equations and i forgot what intergers are .

Question 1: Formulas. We've learned how to write algebraic equations in the form of mx + b = y. Convert these two sentences into algebraic equations using the above formulas.

Sentence 1: Scott is 2 years older that Donald who turns 12 on June 21st 2006. Write this sentence in the format of mx + b = y, then convert it into an expression which allows us to figure out the age of Scott.

Don't get it.

Sentence 2:Elizabeth has $200 in her savings account. She makes $40 every two weeks babysitting for her next door neighbors. If Elizabeth saves all of her money solve for how much money will she have in one year.

200 + 40 (12)
40 x 12 = 480
480 + 200 = 680

If Elizabeth saved her money for a whole year she would have $680 dollars in her savings account.

Question 2:Creation. You need to create two questions for your classmates that cover different concepts (ex: T-Charts, patterns, equations, graphs etc.) that you have learned in this unit in Algebra. You then need to show how to solve the questions. Your mark will be based on the level of difficulty, and the effort put into your answer.

Are the tiles dcreasing each time or increasing? Would it be possible to make this into a graph? How would it look like?

The tiles are increasing each time by 5 tiles. Yes it would be possible to make this pattern into a graph.

This is how it would look like if I were to put it into a graph.

Lina has 40 marbles in a box. Every month she adds 15 more marbles to her collection. If she was going to keep collecting marbles for 2 years how many marbles will she have?

40 + 15(24)
15x24=360
360+40=400

In 2 years Lina will have 400 marbles in her collection.

Question 3: Reflection. You need to look back at the chart that we filled out during the first day of the unit. This is the chart where you coloured a topic red, yellow, or green. You need to pick one concept that you coloured yellow or red and reflect in words what new skill/idea that you have learned on this topic.

During our unit on algebra I learned how to use words to make an algebraic formula. For exmaple 4n = 14 four multiplied by a number is equal to 14.

Question 4:Preparing for the final exam.You need to think about the year that has past in mathematics and decide which topic is your weakest, and you need to learn during class review in order to prepare yourself for the final exam. It is not enough to say fractions, instead pick your weakest area
area of fractions, say the subtraction of fractions, and give an example of what you don't understand.

I don't understand the long questions in algebra like: 5n+5n-2n=16n=2 There just seems to be so many things all there at the same time that I don't know which 1 to tackle first.

Note:Sorry if some of the sentences don't make any sense its really late at night and I'm tired. Plus I still need to study for a french test.

Question # 1: What is the difference between an algebraic expression and an equation (hint: One contains this and the other doesn't)? Give an example of both an expression and an equation.

In an expression we get to chose the value of the variable Example: 10+20n=
In an equation the value of the variable is given Example: 3+4n=19

Question #2: What is a variable and why do we use one in algebra?

A variable is a letter that represents an unknown number. We use the variable to replace an unknow number.

Question #3: solve for N

A triangle = 5 because two squares = 4 so the whole left hand side of the scale has to equal 9 so the triangle = 5
The right hand side of the scale equals 22 and it is even so one n has to equal 11 because 22 divided by 2 equals 11 and there is 2 ns on the scale.

Question #4: Solve the following questions. Show all of the steps that are needed.

a) 3n + 4n + 7 = 2n + 12
3n + 4n - 2n = - 7 + 12
5n = 5
/5 /5
n = 1

b)8n - (4 + 9) = 11
8n - 13 = 11
8n = 11 + 13
8n = 24
/8 /8
n = 3

c) (8 - 3)n + 7n + 8 =4n +40
5n + 7n + 8 = 4n + 40
5n + 7n - 4n = -8 + 40
8n = 32
/8 /8
n = 4

Question #5: For this question you need to create a T-cahrt and a graph to plot your data from this question on too.

You are having a race against your friend, except you are on foot and he is on his bike. You both know that if you are both on a bike you will be faster so your friend gives you a head start of 3 minutes. If you can run 400m per minute, and your friend can bike 700m per minute, who willbe the first to make it to the finish line 2000m away

Question #1What is the difference between an algebraic expression and an equation (hint: one contains this and the other doesn't)? Give an example of both an expression and an equation.

an algebraic expression uses a letter for the unkown but an equation just has numbers
Expression: 5(n) + 40= 65 equation: 45+69=114
n= 5

Question #2What is a variable and why do we use one in algebra?

A quantity is capable of assuming any of a set of values & can be used in a expression or an equation.

Question #3 Solve for N
1 square - 2.1 circle - 1.1 triangle - 5.2n = 6 squares and 2 triangles (=22)
the represents eleven!

Question #4 Solve the following equations. Show all the steps that are needed.

a) 3n + 4n + 7 = 2n + 12
b) 8n - (4+9) =118n - 5 = 118/8 11/8n = 1.375
c) (8-3) n + 7 n + 8 = 4n + 40.

1) What is the difference between an algebraic expression and an wquation (hint: One contains this and the other doesn't)? Give an example of both an expression and an equation

Expression: In an expression we get to choose the value of the variable 3 + 4 =
Equation: In an equation the value of the variable is given 3 + 4n =19

2) What is a variable and why do we use one in algebra?

A variable is the letter or symbol that represents an unknown number. We use one in algebra because we need to find the value that is unknown so the whole equation can work out and it can make things easier to figure.

3) Solve for N

a) since a square equals to 2 circles and theres like 2 squares on one side that would equal to 4 plus on the other side theres 9 circles and then you take away 9 from 4 which equals 5.. that means triangle = 5.

b) since we know that a square equals to 2 circles and on the second picture there is 6 of them and you multiply 6 and 2 this will give you 12 plus we know that 1 triangle equals to 5 circles and theres 2 so its 5 times 2 = 10 add them together and it gives you 22. and since theres 2 N's on the other side you divide 22 by 2 and that gives you 11 .so N = 11

4) Solve the following equations. Show all of te steps that are needed.

A) 3n + 4n + 7 =2n + 12
7n + 7 = 2n + 12
7n - 2n = 12 - 7
5n = 5
5/5 = 5/5
n = 1

B) 8n - (4 + 9) = 11
8n - 13 = 11
8n = 13 + 11
8n = 24
8/8 = 24/8
n = 3

C) (8 - 3)n + 7n + 8 = 4n + 40
5n + 7n + 8 = 4n + 40
12n + 8 = 4n + 40
12n - 4n = 40 - 88n - 32
8/8 = 32/ 8
n = 4

5) For this question you need to create a T-Chart and a graph to plot your data from this question onto.

Chart For person on foot

Chart for biker

The first person that is done the race is the one walking/running by foot because they're done in 5 minutes and the person on the bike is finish a minute later (6 minutes).

I got my answer by looking at the chart because if one person will eat 3 pizzas & there are 6 slices in one box, it will only be enough for 2 people; therefore she will need to order 2 pizzas for it to be enough for 4 people.

b) If two more people show up at the party how many more pizza's does she need to order?
If two more people show up, Jack will have to order 1 more pizza.
She will need to order 1 more pizza because if 2 boxes have a total of 12 slices, divided by the many slices one person shall get(3), it will equal to the many people sharing the pizza(4). It then means that she needs one more box for 2 other people since two people share one box.

QUESTiON 3:
Kathy has $20 in her savings account. Each month she adds another $15 to her savings account. In order to calculate how much money she will have in one year Kathy has created this algebraic formula: 20+15n= savings amount.
a) Calculate how much money Kathy will have in one year.
20+15(12)= 200
She will have $200 in her savings account in one year.

b) Suppose Kathy counted wrong and she really has $25 in her account instead of $20. Change the algebraic formula to reflect this miscalculation.
25+15(12)= $205 Cathy would then have 205 dollars in her savings account in one year.

QUESTiON 4:
a) 3n + 4n + 7 = 2n + 12
7n + 7 = 2n + 12
7n – 2n = 12 – 7
5n = 5
5/5 = 5/5
n=1

b) 8n – (4+9) = 11
8n – 13 = 11
8n = 13+11
8n = 24
8/8 = 24/8
n=3

c) (8 – 3 )n + 7n + 8 = 4n + 40
5n + 7n +8 = 4n + 40
12n + 8 = 4n + 40
12n – 4n = 40 – 8
8n – 32
8/8 = 32/8
n=4

QUESTiON 1:
What is the difference between an algebraic expression and an equation (hint: One contains this and the other doesn't)? Give an example of both an expression and an equation.

In an algebraic expression we get to choose the value of the variable.
example: 3+4n =
"n" is the variable.

I an equation the value of the variable is already given.
example: 3+4n = 19

QUESTiON 2:
What is a variable and why do we use one in algebra?
A variable is a number with a value that is unknown and it is possible to change. It's a letter that represents a number & it can be used in an equation or an expression. We use variables in algebra like a symbol to represent any possible step in our pattern.

example:

5 + n =8
c+4 =7
x/3 = 4

QUESTiON 3: Solve for "N".
For the first diagram, = 5 . It is 5 because if one square = 2 & theres 2 squares, subtract 4 circles from the side with 9 circles and 5 will be left over. That is how i got my answer.

For the second diagram, = 11. It is 11 because if on one side there are 6 squares & they each have a value of 2, multiply 2 by 6(number of squares) and it would equal 12. Then you add 10( 2 triangles added together : 5+5) it would then equal 22. 22 divided by 2 ( 2 's ) it would equal 11.

QUESTiON 4:
Solve the following equations. Show all of the steps that are needed.
a) 3n + 4n + 7 = 2n + 12
7n + 7 = 2n + 12
7n - 2n = 12 - 7
5n = 5
N = 5/5
n = 1

b) 8n - (4+9) = 11
8n - 13 = 11
8n = 13 + 11
8n = 24
n = 24 / 8
n = 3

c) (8-3)n + 7n + 8 = 4n + 40
5n + 7n + 8 = 4n + 40
12n + 8 = 4n + 40
12n - 4n = 40 - 8
8n = 32
n = 32/8
n = 4

QUESTiON 5:
For this question you need to create a T-Chart and a graph to plot your data from this question onto.

Your are having a race against your friend, except you are on foot and he is on his bike. You both know that if you are on a bike you will be faster so your friend gives you a head start of 3 minutes. If you can run 400m per minute, and your friend can bike 700m per minute, who will be the first to make it to the finish line 2000m away?

The first to make it to the finish line 2000m away is you because you can make it there in 5 minutes while your friend makes it there in 6 minutes.

QUESTiON ONE : FormuLas .

Sentence 1:13 (scott's current age)x(variable) = 2(constant) .

CONVERTiON : 11+2 = Scott's Age .

Sentence 2 : 200(current money in bank)x(variable) + b = 80(constant)

CONVERTiON : 200+80n = amount of money in a year. ("n" is the number of months) . 200+80(12)=1160. If she saves her money, she will have $1160 in one year.

QUESTiON TWO : Creation .

a) Solve for "n" .
(9+3)n+10-4 = 8n+10+4
answer :
12n +10-4 = 8n+10+4 >> 12n+6 = 8n+14 >> 12n-8n = 14-6 >> 4n = 8 >> n = 8/4 >> n=2

b) Create a t-chart for the next 7 steps & a formula to for this problem .

formula : 0+2(n)+1 = # of tiles

QUESTiON THREE : RefLection .

One topic that i coloured red or yellow is "Can i use my t-chart to create an algebraic formula?". During this term i've learned how to create an algebraic formula & i've also learned how to use t-chart to help me figure it out. Besides using a t-chart to create a formula i've also learned how to create one using words.

QUETSiON FOUR : Preparing for the finaL exam .

I think that my weakest topic was figuring out the area of a shape that does'nt have the same measurement for each side.

example: Here, i would try to make this a bit easier to do by making separate shapes but then i would forget to subtract 3 ( area of separate shape ) .

Scribe notes

2006-05-22T12:11:00.000-05:00

Hi, it's Meldee. Sorry if the scribe notes are late, I was at my grandma's house for the weekend and I just got back home today. Well, here goes. On friday, we talked about Words and Symbols. This is what Mr. Reece told us to write down in our notebooks (the answers will be right beside the questions):

1. A number increases by 5 -n+5
2. A number decreases by 7 -n-7
3. A number divided by 3 - n divided by 3 (my keyboard doesn't have a divide sign...)
4. The sum of 7 and a number -7+n
5. A number muliplied by 4 -n*4
6. 8 subtracted from a number - n-8
7. A number subtracted from 9 -9-n
8. Half of a number -n divided by 2
9. 25 divided by a number -25 divided by n
10. 10 decreased by n -10-n

After that, we talked about Algebraic Expressions vs. Equation. We had ALOT to take down for this. Here's the stuff you need to take down:

Expression: In an expression, we get to choose the value of the variable.
Example- 3+4n=??

Equation: In an equation, the value of the variable is given.
Example- 3+4n=19

Steps for solving algebraic equations

1. Solve all brackets.

(8-2)n+5n=18+2n becomes 6n+5n=18+2n

2.Combine like terms that are on the same side of the "=" symbol (This really doesn't make sense...no offence Mr.Reece)

{6n+5n}=18+2n becomes 11n=182n

3. Combine all variables onto one side of the "=" sign.

11n=18+2n becomes 11n-2n=18+2n-2n then it becomes 9n=18

4. Solve the given variables.

9n=18 becomes 9n= 18

--- ---

9 9

So basicly we find out what n is equal to. N=2.

Well, that's all. Later.

Moon Dance

On the planet Mathemarvia, there are two beautiful moons. Oin is purple and Datu is gold. Oin is full every 32 Mathemarvian days, while Datu moves more slowly and is full only every 44 Mathemarvian days. The moons are named after a famous couple in an ancient legend. According to the legend, the couple is allowed to dance together only when both moons are full on the same night.

If both moons are full tonight, how long will it be until Oin and Datu dance again?

Ok, since no one has been the scribe for how long, I thought it would be nice if I "voluntaraly" did the scribe notes. Well, today in class, we talked about the growing post and that it was due either on blogger by tomrrow morning or on paper by 3:30 or 3:35. We also got a new growing post sheet and that we'll be talking about it through out the week. The next growing post sheet isn't due until next tuesday, which will be May 23 with the same options as the 1st growing post. We also did a math sheet that has to do with adding, dividing, multipling and subtracting decimals. The sheet also told us to round to a specific place value. That sheet is homework and is due tomrrow. Well, there you have it. The "voluntary scribe notes" I took the time to do. Oh and Mr. Reece, I won't be at school tomrrow because I'm sick so I hope i'll get the marks for tomrrow for doing this.

Question # 1. What is meant by the terms Rotation Symmetry and Reflection Symmetry ? How does this relate to pentominoes? Explain these terms so that anyone who reads your post understands what u mean. Rotation Symmetry is a symmetry that respects all rotations. Like say I have a piece a paper. No matter how many times i roatate it, it is still the exact same piece of pater.

Reflection Symmetry is like almost like a reflection of something in the mirror. For example: say if I took a piece of paper and folded it in half at the axis it will match up.

There are 12 diffrent types of pentominoes named after letters in the alaphabet because that is what they look like. When the pentominoes are rotated or reflected it does not count as a diffrent pentominoe.The reflection and rotation symmerty realate to pentominoes because you can rotate and reflect them.

Question # 2. Create a pattern. You must represent this pattern both pictorially(i.e. with a picture or a diagram) and with numbers. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern.

Quwstion # 3. Describe in words what is occuring with your pattern and if ypur pattern has an ending or if it continues on idefinately. Make sure that your explaination is clear enough that the pearson reading your description could understand your pattern without seeing your diagram.

In my pattern one block is being added on to it every time. In the first pattern it starts off with 1 block then in the second pattern it adds on one more block to the side. In the third pattern it is adding on one more block to the side, also the same thing is happening with the fourth pattern. My pattern does not have an ending it goes on indefinately.

Question # 4. Create a T-chart that shows what is happening with your pattern. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern with the T-chart.

Q#1: What is meant by the terms "Rotation Symmetry" and "Reflection Symmetry"? How does this relate to pentominoes? Explain these terms so that anyone who reads your post understands what you mean.

A:Rotational symmetry - is symmetry with respect to some or all rotations in m-dimensional Euclidean space. Or in EASIER words . No matter how much it is rotated . The object stays the same .

Reflection Symmetry - The axis of symmetry of a two-dimensional figure is a line such that, if a perpendicular is constructed, any two points lying on the perpendicular at equal distances from the axis of symmetry are identical. Another way to think about it is that if the shape were to be folded in half over the axis, the two halves would be identical: the two halves are each other's mirror image. Thus a square would have four axes of symmetry, Because there are four different ways to fold it and have the edges all match. A circle has infinite axes of symmetry, for the same reason.

This can relate to pentominoes because it can be alike. such as reflection symmetry. if you have pentominoes as a square with four units , put an imaginary line perpendicular at equal distances from the azis of symmetry are the same .

Q#2 Create a pattern. You must represent this pattern both pictorially (i.e. with a picture or diagram) and with numbers. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern.

Q#3: Describe in words what is occuring with your pattern and if your pattern has an ending or if it continues on indefinately. Make sure that your explanation is clear enough that the person reading your description could understand your pattern without seeing your diagram.

A: This pattern starts out with one " crown " can also be replaced by a tile . But this looks cool . And for every pattern another ONE crown/tile is added to the bottom or the top . This pattern can go on forever and make a long rectangle .

Q#4:Create a T-Chart that shows what is happening with your pattern. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern with the T-chart.

[1] Rotational Symmetry is symmetry with respect to rotation. For example, if a shape is rotated from any point and the shape will still be the same, preserving orientation.

Reflection Symmetry is the most common sype of symmetry. It is with respect to reflection meaning that, if you had an imaginary line going down the middle of most shapes, each side would look exactly the same.

[2]

[3] This pattern starts out as a column of 3 tiles. 1 column of 3 tiles [or just 3 tiles] are added each step to the pattern. This will can go on forever and will eventually make a horizontal recatngle.

#1: What is meant by the terms "Rotation Symmetry" and "Reflection Symmetry"? How does this relate to pentominoes? Explain these terms so that anyone who reads your post understands what you mean.

Rotation symmetry is symmetry with respect to rotations, like isometries that preserve orientation. For instance, you can take any point on any shape, and rotate on the point, and it'll still be the same shape, thus preserving the orientation.

Reflection symmetry is symmetry with respect to reflection, and is the most common type of symmetry. It consists of a "axis of symmetry" which is an imaginary line that if you put a perpendular, any 2 points on that perpendicular on opposite sides of equal distances from the axis of symmetry are exactly the same.

These two terms relate to pentominoes because you can rotate (like in rotational symmetry) and flip (like in refectional symmetry) them.

#2 Create a pattern. You must represent this pattern both pictorially (i.e. with a picture or diagram) and with numbers. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern.

#3: Describe in words what is occuring with your pattern and if your pattern has an ending or if it continues on indefinately. Make sure that your explanation is clear enough that the person reading your description could understand your pattern without seeing your diagram.

In this very crude-made pattern, it starts as a rectangle that consists of two squares, horizontally.

Then in the next step, it adds another rectangle made of two squares to the bottom horizontally, making a square made of four smaller squares.

In the third step, it does a similar thing by adding another two-square rectangle only it's on the right of the shape, and is vertical, creating a six-square rectangle horizontally, with two rows and three columns.

And in the fourth shape it adds yet another two-square rectangle on the bottom this time, horizontally, aligned to the left side of the shape, creating a shape close to that of a square with nine smaller squares, only with a square missing at the bottom-right corner of it.

This pattern is able to go on forever and ever, ultimately creating a long upside-down, flipped-horizonally letter L.

#4: Create a T-Chart that shows what is happening with your pattern. You must show the first 4 steps of your pattern with the T-chart.

a)If Jackie thinks that there will be four people at the party (counting herself) how many pizza’s should she order?

She should order 2 pizzas.

b)If two more people show up at the party how many more pizza’s does she need to order?

She should order 3 pizzas.

Question #3: Answer the questions below based upon this information

Kathy has $20 in her savings account. Each month she adds another $15 to her savings account. In order to calculate how much money she will have in one year Kathy has created this algebraic formula: 20 + 15n = Savings amount

a) Calculate how much money Kathy will have in one year

She'll have $200 in one year

b) Suppose Kathy counted wrong and she really has $25 in her account instead of $20. Change the algebraic formula to reflect this miscalculation.

25+15n= savings amount

Question #4: Solve the following equations. Show all of the steps that are needed.
a) 3n + 4n + 7 = 2n + 12 ---> 12n + 7 = 2n + 12 ---> 12n - 2n + 7 = 2n - 2n + 12 ---> 10n + 7 = 12 ---> n=0.5

Week Of Sunday, May 22, 2006, to Saturday, May 27, 2006

Question #1: What is the difference between an algebraic expression and an equation (hint: one contains this and the other doesn't)? Give an example of both an expression and an equation.

An equation already has the value of the varible(s) given, while in an expression, the value of the variable(s) can be chosen.

An equation is something like: 4+2n=12.

An expession is something like: 4+2n=.

Question #2: What is a variable and why do we use one in algebra?

A variable is a number with an unkown value that has the potential to change, and can be in an expression or an equation.

Question #3: Solve for N

N is equal to 11, because...

a square is equal to 2, a circle is equal to 1, and since a picture of 2 squares and a triangle is equal to 9 circles, we can say that because 2 squares is 4 and leaves 5, a triangle is equal to 5.

and since 2 "N"s are equal to 6 squares and 2 triangles (6 squares+2 triangles=22, and 22/2=11), N is equal to 11.

Question #4: Solve the following equations. Show all the steps that are needed.

A) 3n+4n+7=2n+12 ---> 7n+7=2n+12 ---> 7n=2n+5 ---> 5n=5 ---> n=1

B) 8n-(4+9)=11 ---> 8n-13=11 ---> 8n=24 ---> n=3

C) (8-3)n+7n+8=4n+40 ---> 5n+7n+8=4n+40 ---> 12n+8=4n+40 ---> 12n=4n+32 ---> 8n=32 ---> n=4

Question #5: For this question you need to create a T-chart and a graph to plot your data onto.

You are having a race against your friend, except you are on foot and he is on his bike. You both know that if you are on your bike, you will be faster so your friend gives you a head start of 3 minutes. If you can run 400m per minute, and your friend can bike 700 per minute, who will be the first to make to the finish line 2000m away?

You will be first to make to the finish line.

Question #1: Formulas

Sentence 1: 13x=2 converted to....11+2=Scotts age, which is 13...(since this was easy, i think i did something wrong, pls tell me mr reece!)

Sentence 2: we can say that she makes $80 a month... 200x+b=80 (b=months) converted: 200+80n= (n=months) so in this case...200+80(12)=1160...so she'll have a whopping $1160 after one year.

Question #2: Creation

My Question and Answer 1: Solve for n:

3n-7+9=14.... to solve this problem...

3n-7+9=14--->3n-7+7+9-9=14--->3n=12--->(since 12/3=4)n=4

My Question and Answer 2:

What will be the next 2 steps in the pattern, and create a t-chart for the first 6 steps.

Question #3: Reflection

A topic that I colored red or yellow is "Can I create a t-chart for my pattern?". I have learned more easier ways to transfer data between t-charts, graphs, and equations, as now I know that the "x" value should be on the left of the chart and opposite for the "y" value.

Question #4: Preparing For The Final Exam

I think that I have done well this year in all topics but I think my weakest topic is....the measurement of area of an irregular shape because I need more practice on doing this. Like for instance...

in this photo, i would make those two 3x3 squares their own shape, but on the 14cm part, i woulden't subtract 3 from the calculations.

Scribe Notes for Thursday, April 13, 2006.

2006-04-16T20:34:00.000-05:00

Mr. Reece told us that there was a new scribe list he put up. We started the class with of course mental math. We then passed it to our neighbours to mark it. After mental math, Kim then handed out two lids to each group. Ashley also handed out on string of yarn to each group and Mr. Reece gave us meter sticks. Then Mr. Reece put up the only shape that isn't a polygon on the over-head, the circle. He showed us all the characteristics of the circle. He then showed us the " Center " of a circle. which is obviously the center of it :
.
Diameter : A line from one edge to another passing through the center.

Radius : Goes from the center, to the edge.

Circumfrence: Is the perimiter of the circle

We then did an activity where we used all the supplies everyone had handed out and figured out each of the attributed of the circle. Class was then over. We had no homework. But there is a blogger assignment due on April 19th, 06. The next scribe will be .....

Gino's mom has told him he needs to take a bucket of water over to their neighbor since she is experiencing problems with her water supply. He doesn't want to waste much time since he has a soccer game to play in later in the afternoon. From past experience he knows if he uses the small hose it takes 45 minutes to fill the bucket with water. He also knows that the larger hose can do the same in 30 minutes. If he uses both hoses, how long will it take him to fill the bucket?

Scribe For April 4th 2006

2006-04-05T16:27:00.000-05:00

In Class today we did a type of Geoboard thing on paper. We had to make shapes that had to have a total of five sides or more. Mr. Reece gave a specific number of line segments which we had to draw.It could be no more than or less than that number he gave us.

We also started a new book. Remember at the beginning of the year when we did Mental Math?

Well, guess What! Mr. Reece gave us these books with 60 pages of mad minutes. It should only take you one minute to do a page, but since Mr. Reece is so nice, he;s giving us three minutes!!

Also, Mr. Reece will now be using a medium sized black dot instead of this x. So now it will look like this: 5943 DOT 10= 59430, NOT this 4572649027646573 X 0=0.

so watch out for that and please don't mess up on it's not that much more different than the X!!

Mr. Reece, I'm TERRIBLY SORRY THAT THERE ARE NO PICTURES, BECAUSE THE COMPUTER PROBABLY HAD A VERY BAD DAY TODAY AND DID NOT LET ME IMPORT PICTURES FROM THE INTERNET.

PS: SORRY MR. REECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today in class we started looking at something new. We started to do opposite and alternate angles. Mr.Reece showed us how to use these angles.

Definiton: Alternate angles are interior angles on the opposite side side of the intersecting line.
Defintion: Opposite angles only share the same vertex and are found directly across the vertex from each other. Opposite angles are equal to each other.

This is what we did during class today. Mr. Reece's directions for us was to put 3 or 4 alternate and opposite angles in this diagram. Here is a example
EXAMPLE:

We also started talking about triangles. Mr. Reece told us to make a circle with the word triangle in it and write the things we know about triangles. This is what I think I know about triangles.

- shapes
- angles
- diagrams
- isosceles
- scalene
- equilateral

These are the things we did in class today.

Scribe Notes for Monday, March 13, 2006.

2006-03-13T19:58:00.000-06:00

Today in class, we looked at Michael Apuya's scribe notes from Friday , March 10'th. Mr. Reece congratulated michael on doing a great job and told him that single assignment was worth two assignment marks and that blogger is 5% of our math grade. He also said that if you complete scribes similar to his work you can get great marks. Mr.Reece then showed us a review of the complimentary and supplementary angles on the smart board.

Definition: A supplementary angle is that sum of two or more angles that add up to 180 degrees in total.

Definition : A complimentary angle is the sum of two of more angles that add up to 90 degrees in total.

Mr. Reece then showed us angles of intersecting lines and showed us opposite angles. He also explained that all opposite angles are equal in degrees.

By looking at other lines in the figure you could figure out what degree each angle is. Example : C is 30 degrees. You know that because 180 - 150 = 30. Since the line is straight.

Then Mr. Reece showed us Parallel lines by using Hockey and Football as an example with the blue line and red line and the 40 and 50 yard line.

Definition : Two or more lines that never intersect.

Mr. Reece then showed us Transversal line

Definition: A transversal line intersects two or more lines at different points.

Mr. Reece then showed us Co-Interior angles and Co-Exterior angles.

Defenition of Co-Interior angles : They are angles inside the parallel lines.

Defenition of Co-Exterior angles : They are angles outside the parallel lines.

Mr. Reece then gave us the rest of class to do our homework. The homework was pages 10.4 (2-24)only on 8,10,12,14 write number(s) (even only),10.5 (3-12). - Melvin posted this earlier.

During class today, we started with a pop quiz on naming and drawing angles, then we corrected it in class. The quiz was out of 10. Then we looked at the blogs of various classes, and Mr. Reece's blog. We congratulated Chenda on her amazing scribe notes, and afterwards, Mr Harbeck came and told us about the blog, scribe notes, and the fact that people out of our community, city, and even country looked at our blogs. Negatively, he also said that we're not allowed in his room anymore because some took a mouse's trackballs. Than we looked at new things. Intersecting lines and perpendicular lines.

Intersecting lines - 2 lines that cross each other in exactly one place.
Line AE crosses line DC at point B

Perpendicular Lines- 2 intersecting lines that cross at 90 degrees to each other.

Line m crosses line i at imaginary point Z

Mr Reece also checked our yellow 3 point approach today, and our homework due monday is in the math textbook, page 265: #1, #2, and #5-#10

We had to measure specific angles using the protractors. Then we had to make certain angles with the protractor. Then during science, we did TLE. The TLE we did was on angles as well. It's due on March 20th so you better get the computer and sheet stuff done soon! Well, that's all I can think of.....oh yeah! The next scribe is.....dum da da dum Micheal!

Today in class we looked at another classes blog and then we learned how to make the your post with colour, bold your words and other things.. If you wanted to make your post have a link you would have to highlight a word then click on the world with the links on it "beside the text colours" .. We also learned how to upload and post pictures to our blog.. you click on the picture beside the ABC spellcheck.. after its done and its in your post you can position it anywhere.. or use the "left, right, and center" .. the one that says none means that you can put your picture anywhere you want it to be....

After we talked about that we reviewed some things about angles..
then we did an assignment that was on the "smartboard" it looked like this kind of.. and we had find 10 different angles in the picture..

they are.. (angle)BFD (angle)AFB (angle)AFE (angle)EFB (angle)DFC (angle)EFD (angle)AFC (angle)BFC (angle)AFD (angle)EFC

had to use word (angle) because computer wouldn't let me use that symbol =\ ..

We looked over our homework after and it was questions 12-16

After that we had to draw an acute, obtuse and reflex angle.. they looked like this.......

Then we did this work that looked like this.. first one is a straight angle and its 180 degrees "(angle)GHI" second one is an obtuse angle and its greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 "(angle)JKL"....

then finally we drew complementary and supplementary angles

Complementary Supplementary

Thats all the things that we did in class today .. and homework is the 3 point approach sheets that has the angles and stuff on it..ITS DUE ON THURSDAY..

The next scribe is MELDEE ..

Does anyone know their angles?

1)Canadian Girls Kick ***
2)http://adamgerhard.blogspot.com/2006/02/canadian-girls-kick-ass.html
3)This is not a competition of the sexes or anything, but man, or girls are kicking some major Olympic butt. Of our current 18 medals, 14 have been won by women. I am not sure how important that is, but given some of the comments I heard yesterday about the men’s hockey game I though it was important to mention. Some yokel from a some sports bar said “hockey [read men’s hockey] is the only sport Canadian’s watch”. So, um, wrong. For some reason men’s hockey seems to be “tied with our psyche” and other sillyness. Hockey is one game and one medal. What did we learn from the women’s game? A team that actually plays together for more than a week has a way better chance of winning. A team of individual “best” players cannot beat a team that together is the best - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And why the heck am I talking about hockey?! We kicked ass at skiing, and skating yesterday and this morning won bronze in curling... like really won it. Kicked ass in fact - they stopped after 8 ends because of the massive ass kicking being delivered by the Canadians. And the whole 1 2 finish in the 1500m - pretty great. That is a remarkably exciting sport. I wouldn’t have expected it, what with it being just skating and all. I watched the rebroadcast last night - they had a live feed from Winnipeg where Cindy’s old school in Winnipeg was watching here go. How cool is that. I was all tense and with the on the edge of my seat-ness. Yep, the Olympics are cool. Here is a shout out to all our athletes - you all kick ass! Hey, that should be our new theme! Your Olympics athletes - Kickin’ Ass for Canada!

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.

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?

New look to the blog

2006-02-23T12:16:00.000-06:00

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!

If you get 30.5 out of 50 on a test what percent did you get out of a hundred ?

[ to figure this out you take the number, 30.5 or whatever number you got and multiply it by 100 and then you divide it by 50 or whatever it was out of and you get your percent. Thats how you figure out how much percent you got on a test . ]
uhh .. i think thats right ?

We spent 20 minutes of looking on the blogger and looking how to make a scribe notes. We find it in scribe links and in the class we measure our body with a person also we measure thats persons body. We learn about percent and dividing the percent and writing about the percent. The home work we got is calculating the body percent.

How to calculate percent of our body parts compare to our body
formula= the size of the body part/total body size. this gives us a decimal but we want a percentage so you have to * by a 100.

example: my foot is 24cm. My height is 154cm. So the percentage of my foot to my body is
24/154 = 0.1558441 * by 100 = 16%

Question 1
Sandy and Sue each has a whole number of dollars. I ask them how many dollars they have.Sandy says: "If Sue gives me some dollars, we'll have the same amount of money. But if I give Sue the same number of dollars, she'll have twice as much money as I have."Sue says: "And if you remove the first digit of my wealth and place it to the end, you'll get Sandy's wealth."If neither of them has more than 1 million dollars, how many dollars do they each have?
(Very Hard)

Question 2
