September 27, 2010

Sorry for posting this late, I had trouble with my internet until now. But anyways...


Math Studies I


Bell Ringer:

Convert 3.5 lbs to kilograms

7.5 meter to feet

Using 1 lb = 2.2 kg

1 meter = 39.37 inches


Agenda:

I Bell Ringer

II Conversion Review

III Scientific Notation


Objectives: Student will be able to convert any measure from Metric to Imperial units and represent the Answer in standard and Scientific Notation.


Big Picture: Measurements are represented in a variety of units, but have the same meaning.


For any number you can re-write the number in the form

Ax10 b

(The b is suppose to be superscript sorry. Pretty much anything next to the 10 is superscript, you guys understand.)

Where A is a decimal number between 1 and 10 includin 1

1 <(and equal to) a <>
and b is a whoel number

Here come the examples:

1) .0005 = 5x10 -4

2) 542,000 = 5.42x10 5


How do I multiple two numbers in Scientific Notation?

Ex 1) (5x10 -4)(5.42x10 5)=

27.1x10 1=

2.71x10 2

Ex 2) 3.15x10 6

x 2.4x10 3=

7.56x10 9

Ex 3) 2.25 x 10-4/ 1.125 x 10-7= 2 x 10 3

You divide a then subtract b.


Convert 1,000 kg to grams and express in Scientific Notation


Ex 1) 1,000 kg x 1,000g = 1,000,000g = 1 x 10 6

1 kg


Convert 1,000kg to ounces and express in Scientific Notation


Ex 2) 1,000 x 2.2 lbs. x 1 lb. x 16 oz. = 35,200 oz.

kg 1 lb 3.52 x 10 4 in S.N.

4 x 10 4


Homework: Page 44 (5-8)


Question: What do you do when you multiple two numbers in Scientific Notation?

................BLOG.....!!!!

today we learned about distance conversions
we use the conversion units that the test gives us
example:
1 hand = 4inches
3 hands=1 ft.

if the horse is 16 hands his height is?

4 in. x 16 hands=64 inches

so what is the heigt to the nearest centimeter?

64in. * 1ft/12in. * 1yd/3ft * 91.44cm/1yd

64in * 1yd/36in * 91.4/1yd =162.56 cm

64in * 2.54cm/1in =162.56

NO HOMEWORK BESIDES STUDY for quiz
the quiz is going to be on conversions of: time, temperature, weight, and distance

question:
do you think you have most of the coversions figured out?

what we did in class today!!!!!! (sorry for the late post i had troubles with my internet)

TODAY IN CLASS WE LEARNED ABOUT TEMPERATURE CONVERSIONS!
TO COVERT FROM CELCIOUS TO FAHRENHEIT YOU USE THIS FORMULA F=9/5C+32. TO CONVERT FROM FAHRENHEIT TO CELCIOUS YOU USE THIS FORMULA C=5/9(F-32)

EXAMPLE (PROBLEM 7 FROM OUR PREVIOUS HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT)

5/9(F-32)=9/5(C+32)
5/9(X-32)=9/5(X+32)
WE DECIDED TO SUBSTITUTE THE f AND THE c WITH AN X TO
MAKE THE PROBLEM EASIER
45(5/9(X-32)=45 9/5(X+32) WE CHOOSE THE GREATEST COMMON MULTIPLE BETWEEN 9&5 TO TRY TO ELIMINATE THE BOTTOM NUMBER OF OUR FRACTIONS
25(X-32)=81(X+32) WE DIVIDED THE 45 IN EACH SIDE BY 9 AND 5 THEN THE RESULT BY THE REMAINING NUMBER OF OUR
"FRACTION"
25X-800=81X+1440 WE MULTIPLIED 25 TIMES X AND 25 TIMES 32 AND WE ALSO MULTIPLIES 81 AND X AND WE ALSO MULTIPLIED 81 AND 1440
-56X-800=1400 WE SUBTRACTED EACH SIDE BY 81X
-56X=2240 WE ADDED 800 TO THE RIGHT SIDE
-56X/56=2240/-56 WE DIVIDED EACH SIDE -56
X= -40 DEGREES

IF AFTER MY EXAMPLE AND WHAT I EXPLAINED YOU STILL HAVE PROBLEMS FEEL FREE TO REREAD IN YOUR MATH STUDIES PAGES 39-40 TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

WE DIDN'T GET ANY HOMEWORK

MY QUESTION:

ARE YOU HAVING ANY TROUBLE WITH CONVERSIONS? IF SO WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE HELPED IN SO THAT YOU COULD UNDERSTAND IT BETTER?

Monday 09/20/10 Blogger

BELLRINGER Given that SanFrancisco is -8 and Santiago is -4 and London is 0, is there a time between 9 and 5pm when they can hold a one hour conference call? If tyhere is, when?

AGENDA
1. Bellringer
2. Review of time change
3. Temperature Conversions
4. Unit Conversions

Objective: Students will be able to convert time, temperature, distance and weight between imperial standard units and metric units.

* Friday's Test was passed back (Review)

#1 { } Had to bee this type of brackets
#2 2010 -315 + 208 ---> From left to right
#3 8132 - 4881= 3251
#4 (210 x 400)/ (21 x 4) = 1000 times larger
#5 7 x 23 =161
#6 108.84 to the nearest hundreds
#11 182 > 2 x 91> 13 x 7
Order of operation: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

~NOTES~

Bellringer Question

0 GMT for London
-4 Santiago
-8 San Francisco

London 9 -----------------------------17
Santiago 5---------------------------- 13
S.F 1 ----------------------------- 9

There is no possible time when they can have a conference call between 9am and 5pm
because of the large time difference.

Temperature Conversions

F= 9/5 C + 32

*We didn't finish discussing Temperature Conversions

HOMEWORK----> pg. 40 #'s 1-7

QUESTION: How do you read the time zone map in the book?
From left to right or from right to left? Do you have an easier way to reading it?

Sunday, September 19, 2010

I think fridays class was real fun=))it was cool to learn about time change in different countries!!!
i think i did good on Thursdays test...it was real easy=)

wed. post

i think on the test i was going to ace it :)

fridays lesson

i think fridays lesson was confusing but at the same time logical

Friday's Lesson

Agenda:
I Bell ringer
II Time math
III Class work

Objective: Students will be able to solve problems involving time.


Bellringer:

If it is 7a.m. in the U.S., it is 1p.m. in England and it is 2p.m. in Johanesburg
If everyone starts work at 9a.m. What would be a time everyone could be on a conference call at the same time? Write a memo inviting each city with their time.


Notes:
Pg. 36

Ex. 1
U.S. New York at 7a.m. your flight is 4hrs to California then fly to Japan which takes 13hrs.
What time will you arrive in Japan ?
What time do you land in CA?

7a.m. in NY what time in
CA------------ 4a.m. + 13hrs = 5p.m.
Japan ------ 9a.m. ----> 2p.m. the next day


<------------------------------------------------>
-8 +9
9-(-8)= 17hrs

CA---- 4hrs 21
+17 +17
___________ _______
21hrs ----- 9p.m. 38 next at 14:00



Ex. 2
New York -5
CA -8
Tokyo +9


NY <------------------------------------------------->
9am 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18


CA <-------------------------------------------------->
6am 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15



Tokio <------------------------------------------------->
23 0+1 day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8


5p.m. ------ 8p.m. = best time to make a call

Tuesday, September 14, 2010 blog.

3 cheers for blogging.!

AGENDA!
-least common multiple
-greatest common factor

Objective: Students will be able to identify the least common multiple and the greatest common factor of any two numbers.

BELLRINGER!
--Write down the numbers 1-30
-circle the multiples of 3
-square the multiples of 4
-what numbers are multiples of both 3 and 4?

NOTES!
--to get the least common multiple, take two numbers, multiply them, then divide that number by the greatest common factor of the two numbers.

ex.1)
6 and 9
greatest common factor-3
6 times 9 -> 54 ->> 54 divided by 3 equals 18
least common multiple- 18

ex.2)
8 and 12
greatest common factor-4
8 times 12 ->96 ->>96 divided by 4 equals 24
least common multiple-4


HOMEWORK!
--page 30, numbers 1-7
*chapter test Thursday
*no quiz Friday

QUESTION!
hmm. did anyone think today's lesson was hard?

have a nice day:)
We reviewed greatest common factors and least common multiples, and learned a trick to find the lcm

Monday 9/13/10

Today, we learned about some of the math language like Exponential Notation.

It's my turn to blog today

Class Agenda:

I) Bell Ringer
II) Math Language
III) Exponential Notation
IV) Factors of Natural Numbers

Notes:

Today in class we reviewed prime factorization. We learned that using this technique, math can be much easier. Here are some examples on prime factorization:

8 > 2*4 > 2*2 ....therefore you get 2 cubed

148 > 2*74 > 2*37 ....therefore you get 2 squared times 37

*sorry if thats not clear, i cant show it well with typing*

We learned that a technique that can be used to make solving equations without a calculator easier.
Example:

(35*23*72 )/(32*2*7)
This can be simplified to 33*22*7 by subtracting the exponent from the numerators to the similar numbers in the denominator "35 and 32, 5-3=2...so you get 33"

We also review adding evens and odds added in a certain combination, even plus even, odd plus odd, or odd plus even, will always become either an even or an odd
Example:
Odd+Odd= Even
Even+Even=Even
Odd+Even=Odd

Also we learned that any even can be written as 2x, and that any odd can be written as 2x+1

Homework:

Page 26 numbers 2, 3, and 7

*RANDOM TIP*
Paying attention in class and taking notes will benefit you, not doing so may cause you to have trouble

QUESTION:
Are there any shortcuts to prime factorization?????


since i was assigned to be the first blogger yesturday for the IB Math Studies well this is whats up:
1. The Agenda for the day was:
1)-Select the Blogger
2)-Bell Ringer
3)-Review the homework
4)-Prove all reapeating decimals are factions
5)-Homework.

Notes from the Class:
To show that any repeating decimals could be a fraction Ms.Sullivan gave us the following examples:
.67676767....
x=.67676767
100x=67.676767...
100-x 67.676767...
-.676767100X-X=6799X=67X=67/99

Another example that we went through is:
x=.357 357 3571000
x=357. 357 3571000x
-x=357999x=357/999

And finally the last example that we did was:
.15555....
1+x=.05555_-1_0
X=.05555
100x=5.555
10x=.5555
100x-10=5
90x=5
x=5/90
___
.155 =1/10+5/90=9/90+5/90=14/90.

The homework assignment was to do pg.27 #6 in the Mathematics orange book.

The suggestions that i would say is to come prepare, Pay attention and ask question in case if your stuck on something.

5. One thing i want to share about the lesson is that, is very important that we understand the steps and memorized them.(It saves time when doing the homework looking back into the notes.

6)-The question for you guys to answer is:theres people that learn in different ways, in order for them to learn or undertand better, sometimes the method that teachers use is not specifically the way you undertand math the best.Whats your own way in which you consider that you learn math more easily?

we learn how to prove that all repeating decimal number are rational. It was a bit on confusing

friday

we learned that any repeating decimal is a fraction

on this friday

we learned how to convert decimal numbers into fractions and fractions into decimal number.. we also got homework due monday lol

On Friday

we learn how to change repeating decimal to radical numbers
on friday we learned how to turn a repeating decimal into a fraction. ex. .456456456456
this fraction would be 456/1000

Friday's class

on Friday we learned how to turn repeating decimals into fractions.
Here is an example :

.676767676....
X=.67676767....
100x- X=67.67676...
- .6767676.....
100x- x = 67
99x= 67
x = 67/99

im blogging again :)

on friday we learned how to make an on-going decimal into a fraction. it was kind of weird and hard at first but we got the hang of it.

This past friday...

We learned that any repeating decimal is a fraction...
Just like Williams posted yesterday, Here is an exmaple;

x= .67676767...

100x= 67.676767...
100x - x= 67.676767... - .67676767...
100x - x= 67
99x=67
x= 67/99

(Fridays example problem)

Repeating Decimals...

Today, we learned how to prove that any repeating decimal is also a fraction, something that can be easily achieved through a series of operations.

9/10/10

we learned that any repeating decimal is a fraction

Thursday, September 9, 2010

today i learned about subsets and different ways to group numbers.
We started off the day with a bellringer. We had a lot of trouble with the assignment, as most people didn't know what to do. After a brief explanation, Miss Sullivan taught us some set language. We learnt the meaning of the words union and intersection. After establishing the basic set notations, we learnt the sub-sets of all real numbers: counting numbers, natural numbers, integers, positive integers,negative integers and rational numbers.

All ablout sets...

Today in class we learned all about sets, and the subset, and what is a union and what is an intersection.

IB Math Studies 09/09/10

we started class with a bell ringer and we had a bit of trouble understanding it at first but after she explain we understood it and we were able to finish the work

8th Prd.Math

Today in math class I learned about subsets, sets of integers and rational numbers. We also learn bout other different types of sets such as counting numbers, natural numbers etc... We also got homework for tonight...

some sets language

Today's lesson really confused because it was something I never saw and I learn something new. I thought the first week of school would be review of last year but no i actually learn something new which I found interesting. Its math like has its own language and symbols.

The Raw Class

I Learned about sets such as A = {2,4,6,8...}

Sets

Sets
  • A set is a collection of numbers or objects.
  • Capital letters are often use to represent set.

(ex) A= [2,4,7,9,11]

Today's class!!!

Today in math studies class we talked about sets of numbers! A regular u equals a union, which is a set of all the numbers in both sets, and in which the numbers that are repeated more than ones is only written once. The opposite u equals a intersect, which is a set of only the numbers that are repeated in the sets. We also learned that when dealing with sets the {, is always used in the begging and in the ending of the sets. We also learned that:

A= {set of all even integers}
B= { set of all rational numbers}
N*= {1,2,3.........}
N= {0,1,2,3.......}
Z={-4, -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3.......}
Z+= N*
Q= { rational numbers is any number b/c where b,c are elements of z and c is not equal to 0}
R= { all real numbers which is the set of all rational and unrational numbers..

Before talking about sets, in class we were discussing the issue that mostly all the people in the class were struggling to sign up for the blog, and ms. sullivan explained how to do it.

9-9-10 IB Math Studies class

Today in class, Ms. Sullivan taught us about Number sets... We were supposed to learn about this in grade school but I guess they took it out of the curriculum.  We learned about union, intersection and subset...

today

Today in IB Math Studies we learned more about numbers and that they can be united and we learned about putting them together. also about how we have to label them.
Yesterday we talked about numbers and then how to create a blog!

Different types of numbers

Yesterday, we discussed the different types of numbers and the wide variety of names that can be given to these different variations of what is called the number. We talked about fractions, integers, negative numbers, whole numbers, natural numbers and much more. We also discussed about the blog, which is a new way of connecting with the students through a blog page.

IB Junior Math Class

Yesturday in class we kind of reviewed different types of numbers
Like integers, fractions & decimals...
We alsotalked about the blog.

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

Math rhymes with AWESOME! ^_~

After a long day in school, Math class would have been torture, fortunately, luck was on our side and Ms. Sullivan as the rawesome(Raw+Awesome) cool teacher she is, we were given a homework assignment that we could actually work on while we use Facebook. We were to introduce ourselves in this blog per se. So that is what we have done. Now to summarize what we did in class.
  1. We were given a bellringer which made me realize numbers are too cumplicated.
  2. The bellringer showed how term different category of "numbers"
  3. Examples: Whole Numbers(1,2,3,4,5), Negative Integers(-1,-2,-3,-4,-5), and Fractions(1/2, 2/3, .25, .555)
  4. (Not True) And finally we learned all the numbers in pi. Yeah... If that was possible.
As always keep looking at the stars! And 1+1= 11.
P.S- Ms. Sullivan do we have to be more professional? Was this a practice post per se?

In Class

Today in class we mostly talked about the blog that since now on we are going to start doing.
we notice the difference between negative and postive number. Intergers are whole numbers that can be greater than zero.

todays class

we mostly talked about this blog. honestly how do you feel about it?

What I Learn today in math

I learn different number categories such as integers, radicals etc.. I also learn what a blog really is and the reason why it's use for.

Information Learn In Math Class

Today during math class we got learn how to classify numbers. We also learn how to blog and we learn that we will be blogging ourselves at least maybe once a month.

IB Math

Figured this thing out because I actually paid attention in class on how to blog and what its benefits are.

First Blog

today we got new project it is to post blogs

Math

I agree lauren!! today in class we talked about how to blog and the different way we can classify numbers.

Oh my goodness, finally!!

ok this took me forever and a day to figure this out so.... what we did in class today was discuss the blog, and how we were going to pick who was going to write and what we were going to write!!

ib math studies

today in class we learned about different types of number and how our blog will work and how it will be organized.
Basicly in todays class period we learned about blogging, and how helpful it is when someone is absent. Also, different ways to name numbers.

:) Pedro's tha bomb

Okay. So today we learned about categorizing numbers and how to blog :) taadaa!!!

Today

Today we learned how to do the blogs. We also learned about groups of numbers.

what up juniors

haha someone posted something as me(the 1st comment) well this is the real me, TXT ME..
well today in IB math studies 1,we learned about the groups of numbers and we learned about blogging. im a blogger now :)
So today we learned about the different catagories of numbers, for example whole numbers, rational numbers, positive and negative integers etc. After that we learned how we are supposed to do the blogs and how many points we get.

What we did today

Today in class we went over the different classification of numbers, such as; Positive and Negative integers, Rational and Irrational numbers, Decimals, and Fractions. After turning in the Bell ringer we learned about our class blog and how to log in. For homework we have to add a post on the blog relevent to what we did in class.

9/8/10

we learned about number categories. For example intergers, fractions, irrationals.

idk

okay, so today in mrs sullivan's class, we talked about a couple of things. mostly we talked about numbers and how they could be classified in many categories. for exmpale, as integers, rational irrational, fractions, and decimals. amd yeah...thats mostly iit:)

9/8/10 class work

What we learned today in math, was based on how much knowledge we had in some especific sets of numbers, for example: whole numbers(1,2,3,4,5,,,),intergers (-3,-2,-1, 0,1,2,3) and more...

...

What ups, forgot what to do.

Welcome
