Today we got a little distracted before we did mental math. Mr. Maxs confirmed he has a brother and showed us his house on google earth. We then looked up more things and got back on track to mental math. We are working on our exercises 3 and 4.

Stamps Game

Today we did notes on Pathways and practiced the first question ( with Jason and Penelope ). We took notes on F.C.P. and we were supposed to do Factorial Notation but were doing that tomorrow. One of Mr. Maxs examples was: Calculate the number of ways to enter and exit the arena during a hockey game.
a) first period
ways in= 1
ways out=5
Therefore there are 5 ways in and out of the building.
b) third period
ways in=5
ways out=5
Therefore there are 25 ways in and out of the building.

We did notes on pathways, and how many ways you can get to the dentist office. Then we got questions, excercise 1-6.

Today Mr.Max called us up to show him excercise 1-2. We also had to tell him a plan for our Vector projects. I am not too sure what I am going to do yet, but its due on the 27th. Today i'm just going to work on excercise 3.

We did not do mental math today. We work on our questions are we must have excercise 1, 2 and one question on 3 complete for mondays class.

We went to a grad meeting then came back and took notes on triangle methods. Then Mr. Max showed us how to use Euklid, for the people who didn't know.
