Sunday Punting Practice
Like sokoban the target is to push objects (in this case punt-discs or 'pucks') around a maze to cover various targets. In a punt maze however the pusher slides forward tilt-style until it hits an obstacle, and a puck that gets struck will be punted forward a matching distance.' Read more...

My last and only pre-test blog
Wow....I cant believe that this is my first pre-test blog and it will be my last. This year went by fast and I learned a few things (besides math). I learned that being in a class with 20+ people, you're not going to get the teachers attention every time you want. This being said, it is often useful to come in at lunch at pick up what you did not understand in class. Through the year I also found the curriculum to be easier and easier to understand. At first it was complicated and a little fustrating, but in the last month or so its really lightened up and im beginning to comprehend a lot more. Also too, I find that as a class we've learned to help eachother when we get stuck in a certain area. This has a been a good sem and hopefully next sem will be just as good or better. Read more...

Wow. Last Blog Post. Didn't even realize it.
Well, this is the last post that i will have to do in this semester at least. What can I say? This unit had it's ups and downs. Near the beginning of this unit, I was really enjoying all the sequences, and patterns. The homework was pretty easy, and I seemed to be cruising right along. I don't remember specifically when the tables turned, but I know it was somewhere when we learned about the little boy with all the numbers, adding one to one hundred.The transition was hard for me, and I don't think I fully made it. Which is why I will be studying like mad tonight, to remember those formulas and what not. Read more...

Blog post
Today we talked about how to study for the exam. There were some good tip's that would work for some of you guys. Some tips are Re-writing your math dictionary pick a group of questions from your notebook or your exorcise book and sort it out into two groups, one would be for questions you understand and the other group would be for some questions you have problems on. Another tip is to get in a study group of 2 or 3 people who are not close friends because you may get off topic, you can make two groups again of questions and study the group you don't understand with the 2 or 3 people you are with. This last tip is excellent because one person may know a topic really well and you may know a topic really well, so you help each other because you may have trouble with the topic your partner knows so your partner may help you with that topic that they are good at.

Last pre test post!
It's so sad, it's our last pre test blog. This class went by so fast and when I think about it, we learned so much in such a short time. At first I was really afraid of what's to come in advanced math. But I made new friends and all of them are smarty-pants! I'm intimidated by all of you. And thanks to the people that helped me when I needed it. It's seems more like a reflective blog of the whole semester then a pre test blog. Read more...

Friday's Scribe Post
Well here I go again doing my scribe post. Sorry that it's so late!! Well todays class started off with two questions. Question 1. (a) on the Factor and Remainder Theorems sheet and a question on the board. We then did the questions together as a class and went through the answers. After that we went into our dictionaries and wrote some notes. (Those notes will we posted or added to Graeme's massive notes post. Don't forget to thank him once again and give him his chocolates.) As class went on we continued writing our notes. Mr. K gave us our homework and then class was over.And the next scribe is CRAIG!! Read more...

PreScribe
So you’re probably wondering... Why I asked Liz to pick me as scribe? Why am I scribing even before class started? and... Who am I in general? Well I asked Liz to pick me as scribe because I wanted to scribe one last time before Math ends. Hahaha. I’m going to miss math… *cries. Well anyways. To answer the second question. I have to make up for taking Liz’s math Dictionary right now. Hahaha… yes I’m sorry. Don’t blame Liz… Blame me. Haha… And also… The scribe for tuesday would be up at like… 12:00 Midnight because I get home at like 11:30 lol… (Unless I do it at lunch… Which is highly unlikely…) And My name is Richard. Well anyways… Tonight I scribe about Yesterday. Read more...

LAST SCRIBE POST!!!
Oh my sorry I totally forgot I was chosen to be scribe, well what can I say this last class was amazing we decided to do the podcast even if it was only Craig, Richard, Kasia and I…but it was great we still manage to do it haha well let’s see, the first part of the class was spent on doing the podcast and for the remaining of the class we did a pre exam test or w/e you call it and it really was helpful in many ways especially with reviewing some of the things that I’d had a hard time doing before, but man was it hard to do some questions without having a calculator but hey I managed…after that we were put into groups and were able to discuss the type of answers we got…and that’s where we ended our last class =( …I am so upset that math class is over because this year has been such a great experience I’ve met a lot of wonderful people that I’ve talked to in and out of class, and we all had our share or laughs either laughing with or at Mr. K and his jokes haha and or...
