Marks

Today was a long block and we started with mental math. It was mm 10 so when we were done we had to hand them in for marks.
After we talked about moga madness and how it is cancelled because not enough students signed up for it. It will be regular classes...
We then got a few minutes to finish up our drive way question because it was the last day to receive marks. If we were finished that we could start the picnic table one which will be for marks tomorrow.
To finish we went over the drive way question together. Mr.Max used a spreadsheet to complete the question which was a better method to use other than paper and a calculator. He will be saving it on the transfer drive incase we need to look over it again.

Design and measurement portfolio:
We got a hand out that we have to figure out ourselves or with the other classmates. ( question number 2a - page 4 of 4) There is also a program on the internet that could help us out for solving the question.

This is a program that is just like excel, except some people don't have excel at home so this is a site that is recommended.
We finished up class by updating our personal blogs.

We either finished it or didn't finish it for tomorrow morning at 9, for marks. We finished the class by updating our own blogs.

Today we did mental math then we got assigned a "test". Mr.Max put a question on the board from the provincial exam which we had to do. We then corrected it all together and figured it out with excel and calculator. We did another question which we had to use "state of net worth" on excel.

The last ten minutes of class we updated our blogs.
