Immunization Forms due Tomorrow
Pssst....pass it on.

You are going to love me for this one.

Hey Jellybeans,

Is this cool or what??? You can make your own graffiti art using this site, GraffitiCreator.Net (It is super easy to use)

I found out about it from GraemeW in Mr. Malandrakis's 20s Computer Science class.

Ms. Armstrong

Are you up for a little challenge???

Hey Jellybeans,

Think you're pretty good at this scribing thing?? Check this out. This is a scribe posting from the Pre-cal 40S class. Pretty impressive don't you think. Why not try to challenge yourself and aim for this quality. It shows great attention to detail and demonstrates a firm grasp of the content.
I know that you can do it.

Ms. Armstrong

Now for something completely different :)


Place the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the boxes (one in each), so that the multiplication is correct.
How many solutions can you find? Can you explain how you found them?




The poles where the rings land are multiplied. For instance, if you throw 5, 7, and 11 twice, your score is 5 * 7 * 11 * 11 = 4,235. Can you figure out how to score 3,168?

MERRY VALENTINES!

i have always wondered what valentines day was about... so i decided to search it up.. and it turns out.. it started from the war of love and anger.. check it out.

"Legend has it that the original St. Valentine was a priest in Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius II. Claudius was a vile and brutal ruler bent on amassing an enormous army. To achieve this, he banned all marriages in case husbands refused to leave their new wives and go to war.

Enter he whom I consider was the rather romantic St. Valentine, a priest who cherished love over war and clandestinely married enamoured couples. For his kindness and compassion, the quixotic priest was bludgeoned to death and beheaded on the 14th February 269 AD on the order of Claudius."

hehehe.. great story.. anyways... TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!! HAPPY VALENTINES!!! TO MRS. ARMSTRONG... HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE WITH MR. ARMSTRONG..

A game and another Explaination of Factoring

Hehehehe....I do not know if this is going to help, but yeah....I have found this and I hope if it will help...but yeah...I will try to look for others...maybe...=/......=D

Factoring Polynomials

How do I format an exponent?

Hello Jellybeans,

I thought I might be able to help out with the ever annoying exponent problem. Instead of typing 48x^2, you can use a little html code to create the exponent. To do this, just type 48x2 and then click on the 'Edit Html' tab at the top right of the composing box. Type the code ^{before the exponent and the code} after the exponent.This will raise it up. I have to give credit to Danny T. who showed me how to do this. That's the beauty of blogging - everyone is teaching everyone :) If you have a few spare moments, why not pop by some of the pre-calculus or consumer math sites to see what you will be learning next year. While you are there, leave some encouraging feedback for them. They would love to hear from you.

Polynomial Games - A review for factoring

Hey Jellybeans,
I've found some great polynomial and factoring videos for you to use if you are stuck. Just click on Chapter 5 or 6 and choose the topic that you need some extra help with.

I also found these games for you to try.

Multiplying Polynomials - Who wants to be a millionaire
Polynomial Jeopardy - This is a terrific game
Combining like terms
Polynomial identification
Evaluate the polynomial
Add or Subtract polynomial

Keep playing these games even thought the 'polynomial unit' is completed. They will help to strengthen your skills for 'Factoring', 'Powers and Exponents', and 'Linear Equations', not to mention the exam. REMEMBER: Just like integers didn't go away when you finished the formal unit, neither will polynomials. Math is about building a strong foundation and understanding so that new topics can be understood and learned.

Binomials to Binomials... very forgetable yet useful.

What i really noticed about today's Class was that it was mainly about Multiplying Binomials to Binomials. so as my first post as .... well... i forgot what it is.. let's jus call it Scribe-assistant....... i found a site that was worth looking at.. speacially if u have problems with multiplying Binomails...
HERE you go..

Factoring and Time Travel - all in a day's work

Hi!!This is what we did today.Well we did more of the factoring bingo.(you would have learned that we did that yesterday, but yesterday's scribe didn't do his job). We also learned why Ms. Armstrong played bingo with us: She did it to show us a preveiw of what we learned today:Binomials by binomials. Like x² +9x +20=(x+5)(x+4).x²+5x +4x +20= x² +9x +20. Also, for those of you who wheren't there on Tuesday, I learned a new arithmatic term: Tessaract. 4dimetional. You can't make a visual representation of it because, even though we live in 4 dimentions, we only see 3. You're probably wondering what the 4th dimension is: It's time. To make one you'd have to go back in time which you can't because times a constant not a variable.Unless there was a spacial annomoly to send you either through time or the opposite. Do that you've got yourself a tessaract.

Research Director - A new hat to wear!

Hello Jellybeans,

Starting tomorrow morning we will be adding a new daily feature to the blog. Each day the "Scribe" will choose a "Research Director". That person's job will be to search the net for a great new math site that helps to explain, reinforce, or extend a topic that we have covered in class. The Research Director will post a brief summary of the site, and share it with the class by creating a link.

Since most people prefer to learn from visuals, try looking for videos, diagrams, or java applets that demonstrate a topic really well. Maybe you can find a neat cartoon or powerpoint. You never know what you might find. Don't forget to credit the author of any material that you borrow. Just because it is on the internet, does not make it yours to take. One day someone may borrow intellectual property that you created - wouldn't you want them to at least recognize the efforts that you made???



Happy surfing!
Ms. Armstrong

Psychic, psycho or telepathetic???

Hey Jellybeans,

Thanks to Jason D. I have a new word - "Telepathetic" - I like it, it's good. Anyways, check this out and then check this out. See if you can find the "pattern". After all, if it's math, there has to be a pattern.

Prime Factorization - A special treat for you

Hey Jellybeans,
I have a special treat for you. Click on this link to watch a short cartoon video. When the new screen opens, click on the link that says "Prime Factorization".

1. Watch the video
2. Watch the second video called "show me another way to factor"
3. Play the quiz
   

I think you are really going to enjoy Tim and Moby while you learn a little math.

Get those brain wheels spinning

Hey Jellybeans,

Here is a link straight from Sargent Park that you MUST check out. Mr. H. has posted some really great brain puzzles for you to solve.

I also thought you might want to check out the grade 8 blogs that you have inspired. I'm sure that they would love it if you left positive comments to encourage their blog to grow. You can also invite them to check out some of the work that you are most proud of. Just think...you can be a mentor for next year's S1 class before they even get here!!!

U TRICKED ME!!

WOW!!! we are actually DONE with half of the school year... and that makes me both sad. and happy... take a biiigg guess why.. :P
anyways...
TODAY... was very very very..very.........VERY.... confusing... if it wasnt for my friends to guide me around. i would have been marked absent for most of my subjects... im too used to my semester one subjects.

MRS. ARMSTRONG!!! she made us do this quiz that had all these questions.
number 1 was "read all questions carefully before doing anything" emphasize on the ALL questions part.
i did it all and when i got to the last one... BOOM! it said "do only questions one and two."
AHHHHH!!! i multiplies a 3 digit number by a three digit number without a calculator! hmph.

well.. moral..
"READ BEFORE YOU ANSWER!"

hahhaha... NICE ONE mrs. armstrong!!
