Today in class Mr.Maksymchuck showed us how too do, Factoring by Gruping. In the images above; it shows how to dit it.

Factoring cont'd.

Today, we learned more factoring. I'm starting to get it, but not enough to properly explain it. I would try to explain it in my own words, but I would end up confusing you more then you possibly are, and I would probably confuse myself too. So below this write-up are the notes from today's class, and if these don't explain enough to you, I have uploaded the video from todays class.

Factoring Binomials and Trinomials using Alge-Tiles

If the Alge-Tiles make a perfect rectangle it is factorable.

Today at the start of class we were handed these things called Alge-Tiles.

Squaring, Cubing, and Finding the Square Root of Numbers

Today Mr. Maksymchuk showed us how to Square and Cube numbers up to infinite. We found that if we program our graphing calculator correctly, we can come up with a table of values that will in turn be converted into a graph. We were also shown how to reverse squaring a number by finding the Square Root. We can use these skills in lessons of accelerated math to come.

Assigment for the day

Finish any outstanding accelerated math objectives and start on factoring!

Here showing the meaning of a number squared.

Twenty five and twenty six represent the square.

Here showing the difference between squaring a number and cubing a number. Showing a table that shows the values of squaring and cubing numbers 1-10.

Prime Factorization (Chapter 3 pg134)

Today we learned about prime factorization! The chapter starts on page 134. In the middle of his teaching Mr. Maksymchuck showed us a fun little search engine!! The website is linked below http://wolframalpha.com/

We mainly learned about factor trees and prime factorization. We also did some GCF-Greatest

Common Factor and LCM- Lowest common multiple.

here are all the slides! I will also add the recording

The homework assignment-pg 140

B-6-12

Today in class Mr. Maksymchuk showed us different ways to learn math other than in the classroom or from the text book.
You can look at the folders from the old classes, and there is an online classroom that has the same stuff we are learning. Its http://webct.merlin.mb.ca the username is demo and the password is also demo. Another website Mr.Maksymchuk showed us was http://www.dropbox.com. On it you can save files and acess them anywhere on the internet.
We also worked on our accelerated math and text book assignments we were assigned earlier.

Today October the 27th, we were assigned a practice test on pg 127 1-6. It should be complete by friday this week! Here is a link for the parent interviews thing https://secure.parentinterviews.com/swanvalley Today we worked on accelerated math, and the text book assignment he assigned us earlier on. We will get a mark out of 4 on surface area, and volume, and we will get a mark out of 8 on trig.
