I fell asleep in class today so I will have to figure it out on my own.

Nov.23/09

Today we learned about factorial notation into perms/coms(permutation/combination). Permutation means-an ordering of objects in which order matters(ie. makes a diffrence) ex. phone number, locker permutation, postal codes, etc. a combination means- an ordering of objects in which ORDER doesn't matter, ex. card hands, pizza toppings, committee membership(all members the same). the formula for perutation is nPr and the formula for combination is nCr which means n objects combined r at a time nCr=n!/(n-r)!*r!

Nov.20/09

Today was a work period with an important lesson. don't lose your social skills. Be sure to teach your children social skills. China/Japan is already screwed.

Nov. 19/09

Today was a work period.

Nov.18/09

Today we corrected the pathway problem. The easiest way to do it is use the triangle for each of the squares and multiply them together.

Nov.17/09

Today we learned about probability. We have to know how to put things into fractions, decimals, percentages, and words. Our calculators make fractions easy by pressing the math button and selecting the frac option. Also Pascals triangle plays a key role in probability. Each top two numbers added together makes the number below it.

We also recieved an excercise booklet.

Nov.13/09

Today I decided my Vectors Project would consist of the resultant vector being from where I live to the Co-op. We also were given some time to work on our excercises.

Nov.12/09

Today was a work period so I don't really have anything to say to myself.

Nov.10/09

Today we learned about adding vectors. I accidentally fell asleep though so I will have to watch the recording.

Nov.09/09

Today we were given our vector projects. We need to make a vector resultant for a scenario chosen by us and make at least 5 diffrent ways to do it without the "as the crow flies" method.

Nov.05/09

Today was a work period. We worked on excercise #2 questions.

Nov.04/09

Today we had a grad meeting and we discussed more vectors explained in the screenshots below.

Nov.03/09

Today I learned that when you add vectors together it means you put them end to end and the distance between them is your answer. It also doesn't matter which order you put them in because it's the same answer.

Nov.02/09

Today we started vectors. Vectors have 2 characteristics: they have magnitude[(how much)(ruler)] and direction[(which way)(protractor)]. This recording will help with the rest.

Oct.29/09

Today we corrected the driveway question. Mr. Maks explained it on the spreadsheet sitting on the network drive.

Oct.27/09

Today we talked about making a facebook group for math. We acted upon it and we also did the pavement question.

Oct.22/09

Today we correceted the tile question and attempted a cake question. It's basically what I do at work when I make a bunk end.

Oct.21/09

Today we were given a design and measurement portfolio with time to attempt question 2. A. on page 4 of 4. It's about ceiling tiles. This is very coincidenal seeing as there are things falling from the ceilings this morning.

Oct.20/09

Today we did a spot check to figure out if we knew what we were doing with sequences and personal finance.

Oct.19/09

This class we did mental math and made our formula sheets for the test this week. Also, we were shown our learning outcome for grade 12.

oct.16/09

Today Mr. Maks got our attention and I learned more than I did before. I know how to do the stuff we did yesterday and I know how to use the net worth template.

Oct.15/09

Today we learned about some tricks you can do on your graphing calculator.

oct.14/09

Today we learned about net worth, debt Equity ratio and GDSR.

Oct.13/09

We did a homework check and corrected a question.

Oct.09/09

today we corrected question 8 and learned how to blog better.

Oct.06/09

we did a test on sequences. we just had to hand in two of the assigned questions.

Oct.05/09

Today was post secondary day. I was not in class. I learned about Brandon University and University of Manitoba.

Oct.07/09

Today we learned how to buy stuff. A good website to calculate the payments you would have to make on a loan is http://www4.bmo.com/popup/loans/Calculator.html
there are other ones if you type in payment calculator on google. On your calculator just press APPS, ENTER, ENTER. The definitions of each button is in your notes. There is also an example question about buying a yellow corvet and taking out a loan to pay for it while paying your loan.

Oct.02/09

Today we did mental math and coninuedto work on our questions.

Oct.01/09

Today We corrected the cat pill question and now we are supposed to practice some other questions of our choice.

Sept. 30/09

Today we learned two diffrent methods for calculating sequences. I don't like the calculator one but the web based one is alright.

Sept. 24/09

Today was a review for the Matri and networks test tomorrow. The main things to know are the matrix intro/operations. that includes

• vocabulary
• naming
• calculaor
• adding
• subtracting
• scalar multiplying
• matrix multiplying

You also need to know Matrix multiplication and all it's aspects and rules. You need to remember transition matricies. with that multiply row by square. Remember networks too.

Sept.23/09

We reviewed yesterdays homework. we did question 4.

Sept.22/09

Today we were taught about Networks and matricies and it's simply following the lines to see how many ways you can get to a certain point. Use your calculator to find routes bigger than what your looking for in the first place.

Sept.21/09

Today We went over question 2 in Excercise 6. It helps so just remember to take your notes home to study!!!! REMEMBER!!! Take all your notes home. your whole binder even!

Sept.16/09

We learned more about Matrix Multiplication.

Sept.18/09

Today I learned about Transition Matricies. The notes are in your binder..Study them!! They make some sense. Also do some problems in that excercise booklet, just be sure to go back and forth between your notes. It will help.

Sept.17/09

2. a) [170 240] by multiplying the weekly average matrix by a 2x1 matrix representing the number of factories the corporation has.

b)

Sept.15/09

I did a worksheet today. It was pretty simple, at the top it says Matrix Modeling. do some questions, they help.

Sept. 14/09

Today we learned how to use scalar multiplication. it's basically taking the number and multiplying it by every element in the matrix. we also learned how to use matrix multiplication to an extent. look in your NOTES!

Sept. 11/09

Today we learned that matricies(multiple matrix's) which look like 2 brackets with numbers in them and the numbers are arranged in rows and columns. With matricies, u can add them, subtract them scalar multiply them and matrix multiply them on your calculator.
