Today in math we did number of the day, the number was 2145.683

We did a balancing act, we had to explain how we got it.

We did some algebra, here is the equation we did :
4m-6-2m+2=m+2
2m-4=m+2
2m-4+4=m+2+4
2m=m+6
2m-m=m-m+6
m=6

Verify
4m-6-2m+2=m+2
2m-4=m+2
2x6-4=6+2
12-4=8
8=8

4w-10-w+2=w+4
3w-10+2=w+4
3w-8=w+4
3w-8-w=w+4-w
2w-8=4
2w-8+8=4+8
2w=12
2w/2=12/2
w=6

Verify
4w-10-w+2=w+4
4(6)-10-(6)+2=(6)+4
24-10-6+2=6+4
14-6+2=10
8+2=10
10=10

scribepost for february 11

Today in class we started with the test that is about transformation, coordinates, quadrants, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, BEDMAS, fractions, decimals, percent, pattern, and algebra.

When everybody is done they have to do number of the day which was 1359.248.

After that, some of the students that are done doing the test and the number of the day did the balancing act:

Then Mr. isfeld gave us an algebra question which was 4y+12-2y+16=y+2

We started off our class by doing Number of the Day. The number of the day was 7214.586. After that, we handed in our number of the day booklets for a check. We also got a chance to catch up on our provincial folder worksheets.

Some examples of the worksheets we had to finish are:


-Find as many ways as you can to represent 3/4, 1.25, etc.


-Match the correct fraction to the correct picture


-Order the fractions from least to greatest or greatest to least





Today's homework is to write an algebraic equation and solve it, for the following statement:


Daylon talked for 45 minutes in today's class. How many minutes did he work?





Make sure you study for the term test tomorrow. The test is going to be on everything we have learned since the beginning of the year, from rounding numbers to solving algebraic equations.

Scribepost for February 3 and 4

Today in math we did NUMBER OF THE DAY which was 5319.267. After we did a worksheet for our folder. We had to match pictures with the correct fraction, and we had to come up with as many ways of how to say half, 1.25, and other stuff. When we finished that, Mr.Isfeld told us to come up to him and we got to roll a dice to know what fraction we were going to do. Oh yeah i forgot to say that we also marked our homework from February 2.

I dont think there was any homework yesterday so yeah.
I apoligize for not putting any videos. I didn't know what video goes with the things we learned in math.


February 4 :

We did TLE, Linear Equations 1.

Scibepost for February 2, 2009

Today our class started with Number of the Day which was 2857.236( two thousand eight hundred fifty seven and two hundred thirty-six thousandths ) . Then we did some of the matching fractions and understanding fractions.

And we have this homework:

1. A+7=10
2. 7+A=10
3. B-4=3
4. 4-B=3
5. 4c=12
6. c4=12
7. d/2=7
8. 2/d=7

Today in math, our class started off with Number of the Day which was 2 969.402

After that, Mr. Isfeld asked about our Gr. 8 algebra homework:

1. 6 - 3x = -6
2. 5x / 4 + 3 = -7
3. x / 5 = -3 / 4

These are pretty hard questions to answer so Mr. Isfeld told us steps to answer them.

Step # 1

Take away not needed numbers by doing their opposite operation so you can cancel them out and what you do to one side of the equal sign you do to the other.

Step #2

Answer anything you can solve.

Step #3

Find what the letter is.

After finding everything, verify by writing down the equation and then replacing the letters by the answer.

Here are some of the practice questions Mr. Isfeld gave us:

1. b - 2 = 4

b -2 + 2 = 4 + 2
b = 6

Verify

b -2 = 4
6 - 2 = 4
4 = 4

2. a + 3 + a = 5

a + 3 - 3 + a = 5 - 3
a + a - 2
2a / 2 = 2 / 2
a = 2

Verify

a + 3 + a = 5
1 + 3 + 1 = 5
4 + 1 = 5
5 = 5

3. 3d = 9

3d / 3 = 9 / 3
d = 3

Verify

3d = 9
3(3) = 9
9 = 9

4. 4 / f = 4

4f / 4 = 4 / 4
f = 1

Verify

4 / f = 4
4 / 1 = 4
4 = 4

After doing the algebra, our provincial folders got handed back to us and we finished doing our worksheet about ordering fractions and decimals in ascending (least to greatest) and descending (greatest to least) order. We also had to put down a goal about ordering the fractions.

Today in class we started with number of the day which the number was: 1245.839(Onethousand twohundred fourty-five and eighthundred
thirty-nine thousanths) and went into a test on the 'Balancing Act'

I made a sample picture for people who would like to see how it was . We also did a easy algebra question .
