THE GROWING POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark you received 15/17 for this post

Jack collects baseball cards. Jack has 180 baseball cards in his collection. At the end of each month Jack buys 25 baseball cards to add to his collection.

a) Create a T-Chart showing how many baseball cards Jack has at the end of the next 4 months.


b) Create an algebraic formula based upon the problem above
180 + 25(4) = 280

c) If Jack just turned 8 years old this month and Jack continues to buy the same amount of baseball cards each month, how many baseball cards will jack have when he turns 12?

Jack is going to have 1380 baseball cards when he turns 12.

Question #2: Use the chart to figure out the questions below.

Jackie is planning on having a pizza party with some of her friends. She is trying to figure out how many pizzas she has to order. She knows that each pizza has six slices of pizza.

A)If there is four people coming to the party then she will need 2 pizzas all together. Which count as 12 slices.

If the two people come and show up at the party then Jackie should order one more pizza to make three pizzas. Jackie should order 3 pizzas because look at the chart, and you will find 6 people and altogether will have 18 slices. Then you will divide and get the answer of 3 pizzas in total.

Question #3: Answer the questions below based upon this informationKathy has $20 in her savings account. Each month she adds another $15 to her savings account. In order to calculate how much money she will have in one year Kathy has created this algebraic formula: 20 + 15n = Savings amount
a) Calculate how much money Kathy will have in one year

Kathy is going to have $200.00 in total.
b) Suppose Kathy counted wrong and she really has $25 in her account instead of $20. Change the algebraic formula to reflect this miscalculation.
If she could of made a mistake of having $25.00 then the formula would be 25+15n= savings she would then have $205.00 dollars.

Question #4: Solve the following equations. Show all of the steps that are needed.
A) 3n + 4n + 7 = 2n + 12 3n+4n+7=2n+12 3(1) +4(1) +7=2(1) +12 3+4+7=14
N= 1
B) 8n – (4 + 9) = 11 8n-(4+9) =11 8(3)-(4+9) =11 24-13=11
N= 3
C) (8 – 3) n + 7n + 8 = 4n + 40 (8-3) n+7n+8=4n+40 5n+7n+8=4n+40 5(4) +7(4) +8=4(4) +40
20+28+8=56
N= 4

Scribe List

I have decided to reset the scribe list. Everyone in the class who wishes to be the scribe for the day will earn the right to post the scribe notes. As well as the scribe posts are not mandatory, you can chose to opt out of the scribe posts. You must inform either myself or the previous scribe with your decision to not conplete the scribe post so that we can chose a new scribe. Remember you earn bonus marks upto the equivalent of two blogger assignments for completing the scribe post.

This is The Scribe List. Every possible scribe in our class is listed here. I will do my best to update this list every day. If you see someone's name crossed off on this list then you CANNOT choose them as the scribe for the next class.

This post is can be quickly accesed from the [Links] list over there on the right hand sidebar. Check here before you choose a scribe for tomorrow's class when it is your turn to do so.

Loss of use

A select individuals have abused the chatbox feature on our blogs. Therefore I have no choice but to at least temporarily remove the chatbox from the blogs. If the individuals responsible for the inappropriate comments come forward and discuss this issue with me I will be able to return the chatbox to your blog.

Unfortunatly I cannot tolorate comments such as those that had been left in the chatbox. Any further comments such as these in class or on the blog will be sent to the administration and your parents will be contacted.

Remember that comments that you leave on a blog now remain on the net in some form forever, therefore what we may percieve as a joke right now, might come back to haunt us in the future.

Mr. Reece

Proper profiles

I am requesting that anyone who has any form of personal information in their user profile to remove it immediatly. If your nickname contains personal information I suggest that you change it as well.

Personal information includes
Last name
Phone number
Picture
Address
Names of brothers/sisters/parents

Any other information that identifies you beyond your screen name or first name.

I do not want to have to remove you as a contributer from the blog, but I will be forced to in order to protect you if you cannot act in a safe manner on the blog.

March 7/2006 scribe notes

I, Ardia Sarao, am the scribe for today. This is what we learned:

we learned about writing angles, here are pictures and explanations of what we learned today:

The angle can be written as angle ABC or angle CBA








Then we had to draw these three angles: Obtuse Acute Reflex
They are suppost to look like this:


The Obtuse angle is an angle that is more then 90° and less then 180°






An acute angle is an angle that is between 0 and 90°







And finally the Reflex angle is one which is more than 180° but less than 360°






Then we had to draw 2 more angles and they were: complimentary supplimentary

Complimentary angles are two angles that measures add up to 90°









Supplementary angles
are two angles that me
asures add up to 180°







Then we had to do these questions that we had to look at these pictures on lines and angles and had to find a 3 names that suits it.

1) straight angle, angle GHI , 180°




2)Reflex angle, obtuce angle, angle JKL






The HOMEWORK for today was to finish the 3 point approach definitions of your angles and stuff for Firday March 10/2006 and BRING YOUR TEXT BOOK!!!

Next scribe:
is Jaymie!!!!=P
