Sorry, Amy...

for deleting the previous post that was on here for about a day...but you're either guilty of:

a) not having read the whole thing, and therefore just not being thorough

OR

b) REALLY bad judgment if you had indeed read the entire thing...see me for clarification. Remember, folks, this is an extension of our classroom, and our classroom is in a school....

Behave accordingly.

Thank you.

More Exam Review

Here's the example study sheet Mr. Max gave us a few days ago. To gain more assignment marks, we have the option to make 8 of these (one for each unit) or study sheets of some sort for Friday. Basically the idea is to go through each learning outcome (from the Manitoba curriculum sheet) and put examples or references to examples. If you know you are well-versed in that particular outcome, you can put a check mark or some such symbol.

Class today was more preparation for the exam. We also spent a fairly significant amount of time discussing how to find a superconductor for Cindy. Because she misplaced hers. Here's a picture of one in action.

It was a fairly productive class I suppose, especially for Anna who made the most of the whole 10 minutes she decided to bless us with her presence.

I guess that's it for now. Our class is getting a little loopy.

Well after a few people(who will not be named...) came to class late, Mr. Max got right to teaching us Geometric series. The newest update to our greek alphabet fluency was the "sigma":

Then, after a definition, we went on to some examples:

And then Finite Geometric Series:

These examples, however, were skewed by some off topic discussions about ethics and vocabulary. We decided we should all be a little more like Marc and Craig Kielburger, the brothers from Thornhill, Ont., who formed Free the Children, an organization that builds schools in developing countries. We also talked about words that mean something that is not quite a theorem(not sure if that makes much sense) like conjecture, hypothesis, philosophy, educated guess, etc.

And finally, the homework....yaaaay. Ex. 46, 1-11

Oh! One more yay!(this one not so sarcastic) There is only one more day of new stuff to learn! Then its review until the exam.
