I'm smiling

Thank you for carrying on with the comment posts in such a mature matter. And, no, I do not mind having science questions posted. ;D

I don't want to have to say what I said in class today ever again, because I have faith in your ability to be responsible for your words and your actions. Make me proud please.

Today's activity was weird, I do agree. It's the first time I've done something like this with grade 9s.. I've done it before with grade 11s but I think you guys were working a bit harder than they would. The mark you get on this activity will be counted as your thinking inquiry and problem solving mark for this unit. And the mark will be derived from both your group's answers on the page, your peer evaluations and your self evaluations. So you need to work hard and well as a group to do well here.

I've had a look at your work and I'm very pleased so far. We will not continue the activity next class, nor will we continue it on Tuesday. We are going to work on the activity on Wednesday, the day after our test.

Monday is a review day, and Tuesday will be a full period test. Please take the time this weekend to do review. If you are done the review package then go back and find questions in the sections we have done and work on those. The more practice you get the better it is for you. Even if you understand everything, practice makes perfect and working on your speed and form is really important as well.

We don't have class tomorrow, so please remember to bring your math textbook home. If you need me for extra help, I'm available 2nd and 4th and afterschool tomorrow. I will definitely be giving extra help Monday afterschool so make the effort to come in even for a question or two.

*nodnod* so the work mark and stuff will be a big-ish mark for this unit right? review day on monday....shortened day *yay!*

i had a question...

say you have a power 2^10 [2 is the base, 10 is the exp.] unless you already know what 2^10 is, is there a SHORTER method of finding out the number?...instead of 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2?
random question...

Miss Shou said...

Leo's right yet again. 2^10 is best to be memorized. I'm not saying that you should memorize everything, but something as basic as the powers of 2 until 10 is like memorizing the times tables till 12 x 12. It just has to be done.

Miss Shou said...

Gee... I can't even do that.
