Today in class we had another work period. It gave me a chance to catch up on my ACC which I really needed to do. I have some more for homeworkon the weekend but right now all I can think about is halloween. :)

Today in class we did mental math and had a catch up class. I like having these kind of classes because I can catch up on homework and I usually end up getting things alot better. Than if I was doing it at home.

Oct.28/09

In class today we went over more radical simplification. I got how to do it alot better and I feel alot more comfortable with these kind of questions. I could still need a little more practice but other than that I feel I'm doing well. Today for homework we have a new sheet that we got that is due at the end of tomorrrows class.

Oct.27/09

Today in class we learned rules for exponents and radicals. I like that we are doing some of the questions for the assignments. It helps we understand how to do it alot better. For homework we have exercise 21 questions one to fourteen.

Oct.26/09

Today in class we started a new lesson. We are learning about exponents and radicals. I'm not to sure what radicals are to I will be sure to check that out so I don't have any unwanted trouble with this lesson. We didn't do any mental math this morning so I had time to print 0ut an ACC test.

In class today we took some notes to prep for the test. We reviewed on how to write an equation in any form when givin only two points. I feel these notes helped me to understand and be better prepared for the test.

Oct.20/09

Today in class we did a couple things. We first got back our tests which I feel I did okay on. I still have to work on my exercises and will probably try and get extra help because I still don't really get it. We also learned about relationships between parallel/ perpendicular lines.

Parallel- lying in the same plane but never meeting no matter how far extended.

Perpendicular-meeting a given line or surface at a right angle.

In class today we learned two more ways to find the slope between two points. These ways are
1.y=mx+b
2.Standard form: Ax+By=0

For the second equation we learned a trick to help figure it out. The trick is:m=-(A/b) and b=-(C/B)

We also got some homework for the weekend it will be posted below.
a) Chapter 11 graph quetions 1-9
b)Chapter 12 graph question 1-9
c)Chapter thirteen questions 1-11
d) A seperate question to work on from Mr.Maksymchucks magazine.

oct.15/09

Today in class was just a work day. I worked on my accelerated math because I still have to master some more objectives. I will most likely take it home for homework because I feel I am behind.

Oct.13/09

Today in precalc we learned about linear equations. and how to find the equation of a line through two points.
The steps for this lesson are:
1. Find the slope.
m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

2. Pick a tool. ( only learned one)
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Oct.09/09

Today in class we first did mental math than learned how to graph straight lines('graphing linear equations'). All linear equations are in the form y=x. For homework we have exercise 6, 1-20.

Oct.08/09 pre calc

In class today we learned about slope. Slope is the measure of 'slantedness' of a line. Defined by Mr.Maksymchuk. Below are three formulas to figure out the slope.

1. m=rise/run
2= deltaX/deltaY
3. m=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

Pre calc monday Oct,5\09

In class today we took notes on midpoints and slops. We learned a new formula on how to find the coordinates of a mid point the formula is,((x1+x2)/2(y1+y2)/2). If you don't get how to do the formula I found a good site to help you. The link is posted below:
