Today we didn't do mental math. But, we worked on a chicken McNugget question and we had to find the maximum number of chicken nuggets that you couldn't buy in McDonalds, the number of chicken nuggets that you can buy are 6, 9, 20.

Selection Reflection

Well, we had stated this year off with Linear Equations, then we learned how to solve systems. We had a lot of math to do without using ANY kind of electronic devices, and to me this way without is a lot better. Cause then when we are asked to show our work on a test or on a exam then we can show the work.
Then we had moved on to the Substitution Method. There was two of them, the first one is Addition Substitution Method (ASM), and the second is Subtraction Substitution Method (SSM). I use these letters in the brackets so that I can remember them easier, and it really does help.
Then we moved on to the Word Problems.

So by posting this I shall look back in a little while and re-teach myself what I have already learned so when it comes to a test day or exam time I can go back to the questions from the begining of the semester.

Today we started out with mental math, on question 5 we had to do some thinking but we got some good answers. We started on joke sheets and learning about spread sheets, they are not all that complex. we can also use our graphing calculators or we can solve it algebraically. Lets hope that we get some tips on how to do this in a faster meted. See you all tomorrow.
