We only have like a week till the exam so you might wanna start sudying. Oh, and tomorrow and Wednesday don't come to class because the Grade 12's are writing their exam. Look on the door to see where we go.

Hello everyone , okay when we have a long block, dont do the same thing for the whole block , like Mr.Maksymchuk said it gets kind of boring. So do something for half the block and than change it up, and do something different, that way it doesn't get boring. :) We are having a test next week sometime. So study hard, and try your best!

Welcome back.... hope everyones holidays were good... So today we started off with mental math. We then went on talking about the exams and we might have our last test on the 15 and we have till the 26 to finish/catch up un a/m. Mr. Maks then gave us a worksheet where you have to fill in the cleared space with 10 blocks you get without using them twice on the same picture..... Lets get working people!

Today in class we did a Christmas quiz and Mr.Maksymchuk showed us a Isometric Drawing Tool on http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=125.

Monday was a "cold day", I stayed home and slept. I'm assuming that if anybody came to math, that they just worked on accelerated math, notebook questions, or work they had in other subjects.

today was a snow day because the busses were canceled.math was boring

Math test!

Hey whoever looks at this, so if you weren't here today for a good reason I'm sure here's what you missed. We had a math test on chapter 4, it wasn't so bad. I'd reccomend you look over your notes if you still have to write the test. We were allowed to use a spreadsheet which helps a lot! Also don't forget for the test you'll need to know PST is 5% and GST is 7% . Anyways that's about it, good luck and merry christmas!

Merry Christmas

Have a good Christmas.

I hope you all have a good christmas
