Imagine that you are prospecting diamonds in the barren outback of western Australia. You are told that you can claim any piece of land that can be surrounded by 60 meters of fencing. How should you arrange your fencing in order to enclose the maximum area possible?
In our new unit we are exploring Quadratic Relationships. We will be making sketches, and creating tables and graphs to demonstrate what a quadratic relationship is.
Binders were due last week and several people are yet to hand them in...
We have homework on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
There are only 2 weeks left in the marking period so make sure everything is in order.

Week of April 7th - April 10th
Spring is in the air...
We continue our work with compounded interest...Could a millionaire live off the interest of a million dollars in a saving acount? How can you pay for college? How much would $10 in Kodak stock purchased in 1940 be worth today? How much of a loan is actually interest? A lot of talk about MONEY!
We will also do some work around different ways to combine (add, subtract, multiply and divide) monomials and poylnomials. This will get us ready for our next Unit (after break) on QUADRATIC EQUATIONS! How smart are we?
