Driveway question

Today Mr Max showed us how to do the driveway question on excel. Its deadly. He showed up how to use the roundup forumla which rounds up the decimal to a certian decimal place. I also finshed the picnic table question. It confused me by the footage but i forgot you can't put two boards inline with each other while making the table so that change my cost. i missed yesterdays class so im trying to get caught up.

media literacy, driveway question and the banging on the roof

today we discussed media literacy. In my lifetime, the newpaper and tv ads have gone down by more than 10 %. Meanwhile the internet has more than doubled by far since 2005. Thats crazy! Kind of a shocker the way of life is now. Than there's them roofers. dropping the roofing materials than makes the loud bang. yeah distracting. trying to concentrate on Mr Max's teaching. While the banging went on he told us how to set up our driveway question on a spread sheet.

design and measurement

Today we began to work on design and measurement. We handed in our finace sheets from yesterday which i did terrible on by the way. The design and measurement is like what we did in grade ten. taking measurements of shapes and calculating for diffrent questions asked like how many 30*30 tiles would fit in a room 445 cm long by 350 wide? well we had to figure that out today. WOHH seems easy but could be harder than i thought it could be.

Test! ..Not. Well sure got my attention in a hurry

Well today, worried sick after mr max said test, my stomach turned inside out. After doing a question and him explain he only did it because we weren;t paying enough attention in class this week. Well i'm glad he did it. I learned alot today by just plain old paying attention. Learned how to use a net worth statement on excel and how to calculate more problems on my caclculator.

october 7, Personal Finace

today we handed in our mental math sheets with our marks, i got 64% average. not bad, not great either tho. Than we began to work on personal finace. We took some notes on some terms and then he showed us how much it would cost us to buy a corvette at 33 000$$$$. I was shocked to see how much interest adds onto that. I think i should invest my money and make more.
