Happy Holidays!!!

A short post to wish each of you the very best of the holiday season! Take some time over the next couple of weeks to relax, revive, and refresh, because before we know it, the provincial exam will be staring us down...But don't think about it again until after Christmas... On that note, I've decided to post the links to the .pdf copies of the last couple of year's worth of provincial exams HERE.....

For reference, you'll need to have Adobe Reader installed on the PC you're using to view/save the files, and on the link I've included, you can download and install easily from the bottom left side of the same page. Take it easy, see you January 2007....RM http://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/assess/archives/

Just thought a good math cartoon would brighten the spirits between two tests!

Kattie: December .07

Well this afternoon starting the class of we had a homework check. Then Mr. Max read off the answers and went through any of the ones we had questions with. Number 6 + 8 was one of the ones we went through. Using www.ronblond.com/M12/Bin.APPLET/index.html and the calculator.
Demarcation is the point or line between the values that are distinct.

6. Fred, Ted, Ned, Jed:
P(at least 3 escapes)
means =2 people escape or
3 peope escape or
4 people escape
means= 1-P(at most 1 escape)
hmm.. i don't kno if you can see that but the end answer is 14%


After that we checked out some little Taylor School students and what there doing with there podcasts. Everyone is encouraged to post a comment on there blog to let them know that there doing a good job. But no sound really came out of the podcast, seeing as Mr. Max forgot to plug in the speakers.

Then we did a search on our selves, and were on Google! yay
22 classes left, and 3 more units to learn.
Hmm... the last part of the class we worked on Accellerated Math! and Mr. Max also gave us a booklet for us to look over that we will be doing in units to come! Tomorrow Marsha will be SCRIBE! have fun

Wiki Feedback

I want to know what you think....more here

The link is to my blog....I'll probably put up some kind of poll as well...RM

Links if you want 'em....

I've tried to put a few newer links, like the great one that Tracy found, or the Ron Blond Site...but if there's anything else you guys want to show up on the side bar, send it on a post, tell me in class, or email to me, and I'll make an effort to get it put up...

Reminder about the wiki stuff for tomorrow...you should have at least decided on an objective and a question (unlike anyone else's)...
