Work, Work, Work

So I am sure you are all sad to hear that Mr. Max isn't going to be here until next Wednesday. *tear* But of course with his long absence he left us a bunch of work to keep us busy!

The class started off with him explaining to us all of the expectations and how we were to act for the sub, like not to be playing games on your computers and such. Once that spiel was done he explained what a 'Wiki' was and how it was used. So all of you out there who struggle with some of the Accelerated Math objectives never fear! Hopefully the Wiki's will help you out. I encourage all of you to add to our Wiki as often as possible.

Mr. Max explained to us that apparently the letters 'pb' in the address meant that making a Wiki was as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich, and Ryan was kind enough to point out to all of you that I am allergic to peanuts!

Then he gave us a bunch more problems for us to work on in his absence. They are as follows....

ACCELERATED MATH UP TO OBJECTIVE 20ish. (PROBABILITY)
DESIGN AND MEASUREMENT BOOKLET PG.6 B.
HINT!! -> CONSIDER USING A SCALE DIAGRAM
-> CONSIDER USING EXCEL
PERSONAL FINANCE BOOKLET #3 and #4
**USE EITHER EXCEL OR TVM SOLVER**

Finally he got us to give him our e-mail’s once again so we were able to register for Wiki.



Best of luck to you all!

What To Do With Your Wiki

Wiki Assignment
1. Your assignment goes on www.appliedmath.wikispaces.com. If you've given me a valid email address, you should be an authorized contributor.

2. You're essentially teaching someone how to do a 'type-problem' from Accelerated Math, from start to finish. Show the entire problem, the objective, any relevant instructional materials, whatever....and I believe that I said in class that it should be something you struggled with yourself, but that you're competent with now.

3. Remember that once a question/objective has been selected, it's not available for anyone else's assignment. Check carefully before you post.

4. It's a wiki, so SAVE YOUR CHANGES every time you make some....works in progress are fine, but I'll check regularly to make sure you have something up.

5. No last names/identifiers in your posts...We've talked about this in class...please remember to be 'mostly anonymous'....

Have fun, be experimental, and try to learn something on purpose....
