Today we took 25 minutes to do mental math and then it was a work period. The only other thing is that we need to go to the resource center or cafeteria on tuesday and wednesday next week.

Today was just more fascinating stuff on circle properties.

Well on the 10th we talked about simple interest vs. compound interest. We also learned how a bank uses and earns you money.

Maximization of Open-Topped Box Volume

Well on monday there were only four of us not interested in post-secondary day so first Mr Maksymchuk showed us where he saved everything and then it was just a work period from there on.

On Tuesday we did some word problems from the accelerated math and had a very compelling discussion on cell phone and Ipod use in different schools.
