Yesterday, we learn about choosing the best account but before that, we did first a Mental Math. we learn how to get the percent of a numbers. for example, find the 5% of 105 and the answer is 5.25, this how i got the half of 105 is 5.25, then move the decimal place by two and you will get 5.25. I have another solution for that, if the Question is find the 5% of 105, find first if how many 5% are there in 100% because 105 is a 100% so, there are 20 piece of 5% in a 100% and that 20 must Divide to 105 and you will get the answer 5.25. And then we learned about choosing the best account.

We've been working with money a lot in our class. This game may be helpful for you with your mental math and in life in general.
If you look closely at the picture below, you will see that I bought something that cost $90.83 and paid with a $1000.00 bill. I wanted to make sure the sales person gave me the right change. They had to give me 9 $100.00 bills, 1 $5.00 bill, 2 $2.00 coins, a dime, a nickel and two pennies.

Thursday’s class we started off with some simple mental math and this time we weren’t allowed to use our calculator. Than followed by a continuous group work from the previous day. For our group work we had to finish off a Reconciling Bank Statement. Which I and group no idea how to finish. But after a long time of mistake’s Mr. k finally gave us an understandable way of understanding it. After all that we had some homework. Here it is Exploration 4 all questions.

Yesterday, we started multiplying two- digit numbers with had same first digit numbers, Second digit sum to 10.
We’ll use 83 x 87 = 7221 as an example.
ProcedureExample
Step 1: Multiply first digit by one number greater than itself;
this is the first part of the answer. 8 x 9= 72
Step 2: Multiply the two second digits;
the product is the last part of the answer.3 x 7 = 21
Step 3: Put the pieces together. 83 x 87 = 7221
We also began to reconcile the statement of account to transaction record. The statement of account was correct and the transaction record had some errors. Confer the statement of account and the transaction record, then find the errors and correct it.

Yesterday, We be began with 10 mental questions. Mr. Kuropatwa gave us like a minute or two to finish up our questions. After that he gave us a number 1-6 then we have to go to specific group or number that he gave us. After that we have to correct errors or find errors with the balance record and then he taught us how to use an ATM Machine how to protect your PIN code and so forth. We finish up our class finding Similarities and Differences between Withdrawal and Deposit receipt. There's really nothing Similarities between them only Differences in differences there are Card No., Time, Account Type, Amount, Balance, and Transaction Type.
* Sorry this scribe post is a day late, my computer wouldn't let me sign onto my account.
Yesterday, Our class began with the 10 mental math questions. Mr. Kuropatwa gave us 5 minutes to mentally figure out the answers to the questions, then we corrected them together in class. After correcting our papers, Mr. K. quickly asked us individually if we have read the post on Internet safety. The majority of the class said that they read it, and agreed to it as well. For those students who didn't read the post yesterday, hopefully by today you have read it, and if you still haven't, you should take the time to read it since you're already on the blog.
Afterwards, we were separated into 6 different groups to do more class work. The work was similar to the assignment we were given the day before. We had to find the errors on 3 different bank forms. This time, the students weren't as afraid to go up to the board as they were the previous day, which showed improvement. After the forms were completed, Mr. Kuropatwa gave us the rest of the class to get started on our homework. For those who missed class either because they attended the grade 11 assembly or for different reasons, our homework was to do questions 1-7 on page 102-104.
.. Junar already did his post, so.. there are two posts based on yesterdays class?

A special thank you goes out to our mentor Lani. In a comment on Jenna's scribe post she shared a great site with us all about how to write a personal cheque. Click the pic to check it out. ;-)
Today in class, we started class off with 10 Rapid Math questions. After we finished, we got it corrected by other people and Mr. Kuropatwa took them in. After that, he put us in 6 groups of 3 or 4. For the rest of the class, we sat in our groups trying to find out what the errors were on a cheque, by correcting it on the Smart Board.
Mr. Kuropatwa also told us to become more active in class, other than sitting down. "Math is not a spectator sport!"

In class on friday, we talked and learned about an easier way to multiply by 11 and to find 5% of a number. Multiplying by 11 might be hard for some people but when you know the 'trick' it's alot easier. For example, say for instance you want to find what 45x11 is, all you have to do is write 4 and 5 [leave a space in between]. Add 4 and 5 to get 9. And your answer is.. 495. We also started our first unit: Personal Banking. Mr.Kuropatwa had shown us on the smartboard how to write cheques, withdrawal and deposit slips, and we also got our first booklets on personal banking.

Today in class we learned about Sisyphus if he was a villain, victim, or hero. Most people thought he was a villain because of all the cruel things he done to people and should be punished. I'm not sure if anybody said he was a victim. Mr. Kuropatwa says in his opinion, he is a hero. He said that Sisyphus knows that the boulder is going to roll down the mountain. But he just goes back down and starts pushing it up the mountain without a tantrum or a fuss. He also said to remember Sisyphus.
We also talked about the curve of forgetting, attendance policy, the critical path to success, and the escalator video.
