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

The Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut do not have any type of regional sales tax. The federal GST rate is 5% (Alberta is the same)
