In our math class we started mental math first thing as always. Also we marked each others papers. Usually Mr Kuropatwa explains all the mental math questions on how to do them in a helpful way And if u still don't understand the question he will try and explain it again bit by bit or making it more easier to understand. After the mental math questions Mr K put us in groups. I was number 3 but moved to 4 =S. Anyways he put us in groups because its better to find out what other people have for the answers to the booklet. There are many ways to answer a question. Like different kinds of answers that u don't even know about that other people do. It is helpful to people if they don't understand the question or if they do understand the question they might want to know what new things on other peoples minds. And you even get to make new friends :D If we didn't do our homework then we had to do it in class.
There is one question i didn't understand in the booklet. How to find the perimeter of a Parallelogram like how to add 5 1/2 + 91/4 + 6 3/8= ????
I just cant wait till tomorrow. 1 MORE DAY TILL THE WINTER BREAK =D OHHHHHYEAAAA!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!! =D

This is my Blogging on Blogging. during this past month i had learn So many things that i never even thought about. Like a new way of multiplying. In stead of......Pressing on your caclulator 34x36=1224 u can do it this way..
Example: take the two numbers that are the same from each digit. Witch is 3. Add one of them to make it turn to 4. so now you have 3x4 now multiply that together to get 12. then you take the 4 and the 6 that was left over then multiply that together and you get 24. So now you got the answer to the multiplication question. Its 1224 =D
34x36
3 x add one to the three = 4
3 x 4= 12
take the left overs
4 x 6 = 24
Now put it together
1224 =D
That was a new multiplication problem that i learn in Class and theres lots more.
In our current assignment spreadsheets. I learned that this symbol ( ^ ) was Exponent on the keyboard and this( * ) was Multiplication and( / )was Division. Well good luck to everyone on the spreadsheets test and hope you all do well. :D

In yesterdays class the first thing that Mr Kuropatwa said to us was how it is important to learn and not to be afraid of asking questions. Mr Kuropatwa had a example on how it is important to learn. Like a doctor it takes hard work and years to become a doctor. If you had 50% in all of your subjects in school you wont be able to become a doctor because you have low marks. Only the people that really wants to learn and gets 90% or over can become a doctor. In mental math he explain the things we had learn from the past like finding 10%. If the number is 2004, 10 percent of that number is 200.4. All you have to do is put a dot one place from the left. Also we learned how to round to the nearest quarter of an hour. So there are 60 minutes in a hour. 4 quarters add up to a dollar so its like a clock but its not 25 quarters its 15 quarters. Because 15 +15 = 30 min that's half an hour of the clock+15+15 = 60 min which equals up to 1 Hour or 15x4 = 60 min as well. Just REMEMBER 4 equal sliced pizzas when your looking at a clock. Now pushing to the nearest quarter. If the time is 7:09 you push it to the nearest quarter of an hour. So it would be 7:15. If it was 7:07 you have to push the clock back and it would be 7:00 because its the nearest quarter to that time.
