Due: End of the week.

The Career/project is also due on Friday. Remember ur food items for the box.

Design And Measurement

Today in class we... started off by looking over the old exams. We looked at the blue one first :D we learned about how to build a toy box. we learned how to draw a box obliquely and isometricly. we also learned how to "explode" a box. we were supposed to bring a ruler and graph paper for class today. when doing drawing a box isometricly you have three axis. y axis, x axis, and z axis. we also talked about scaling a diagram.

Today we decorated the classroom and after we had a work period.
Dont forget to bring idems for the christmas cheer box, as many idems as we bring the big guy will match it.
Remember on monday at 9:30 Mrs. Simpson will be here to help us on our life project.

Career/Life Project Websites That Work

Here are some sites that we've checked in class, and that we know are actually functional....use them to help you get started in your research:

Quiz tomorrow on Investments ( all five lessons)

Today we got the booklet for the Life/Career Project which will be do on the last friday before Christmas Holiday's.

Here are some notes from today....

December 3

Should we finish our projects before or after Christmas.
Mr Maksymchuck checked our tsx spreedsheets and lesson 3,4,5. mr. Maksymchuck Showed us how to do the tsx spreedsheets and how to change them from time to time. We went over the net worth spreadsheet for lesson 5 #2 .

We did mental math we are now on MM 23. We corrected/ went over assignments 3,4,5, If you are not done you can still hand it in for marks.

november 28/07 we did mental math followed by the continuation of assignments 3,4 and 5 on investing in stock market, personal financing and net worth.

Assignments 3, 4, & 5 Instructions

Stocks

Yesterday we did mental math and then our class got interrupted by our principal and vice principal... to practise what to do if we ever have a lockdown! :D

November 16, 2007

At the beginning of the class we corrected our homework for yesterday. Then we went on the tsx website and created login names. Then Mr. Max magically gave us $10,000 to buy into 5 differant stocks. We will be watching them till the end of the course and we will see who made the most money. The big guy then created a spread sheet to organize our stocks and how many shares we bought. For those who dont no how to make them very good he's saving his on the transfer drive so you can play around with it.


This is the instructions for the project

This is what the spreadsheet Mr. Max created.

MONDAY, IMPORTANT DO NOT MISS!!!

November 15

Well we started off the day by chekcing the homework that we had due , VI-D-4 # 2,5,6,7 and assignmen 2 Read VI-D-5 to VI-D-7 Questions 1, and 2. Then Mr. Max went over the homework. We went over Lesson 2 Investment Choices.

Assignment for tomorrow Lesson 2 VI-D-9 and VI-D-11 Questions 3 and 4.

We started off the class with some Mental Math( make sure you handed in your papers!!) to get our brains warmed up and than sighned up for the Provincial Standards Test and than jumped into... Project Portfolio.. and starting our next unit on Investments..

Statistics Summary Notes

Lesson One-Percentiles

Percentile Rank-tell's us the percentage of all scores that fall below a particular score.

P.R=B+0.5E*100/n

B= Below a given score
E= Equal to the given score, including the given score
N= total number of raw scores

Lesson 2: Measures of Variability- Standard Deviation

Range- in a set of numbers os the difference between the largest and the smallest numbers in a set.

Step 1: Determine the mean.
Step 2: Determine the difference between each score, and the mean.
Step 3: Determine the square of each of these differences.
Step 4: Determine the sum of the squares.
Step 5: Divide the sum of the squares by n-1
Step 6: The standard diviation, calculate square root of this number.

Lesson 3- Normal Distibution

Characteristics of the Normal Curve:

1: Bellshaped- infinite in both directions
2: Symmetric about the mean.
3: Median ( middle number)
4: approxiatemly all of the data.

Lesson 4: Correlation Coefficient

Interpret a number that measures a relationship between two sets of values is the correlation coefficient or r.

Three ways that data can be described on a scatterplot:

1: Positive Correlation- means that as one variable increases, another variable also increases, or thats as one variable decreases, another variable decreases as well. Positive Correlation falls between the values 0 and +1.

2:Negative Correlation- means that as one variable increases, another variable decreases, or that as one variable decreases, another variable increases. It falls between 0 and -1.

3: Zero Correlation- means that the variable in question essentially have nothing to do with each other and, therefore, cannot be said to be related. It's very close to or equal to 0.

In class we did a short statistic quiz and went over our project for monday nov 19th. Then we worked on the unit summaries for this unit.

Statistics - Percentile Rankings
P.R. are used to compare individual scores to groupe scores. It is called this because a single value is calculated in relation to all there values..


P.R. = (B + 0.5E) . 100
--------------
n
B = the number of scores below the given score
E = the number of scores equal to a given score ( if there are no other scores equal to use 0)
n= the total number of scores



Measures of Variability - Standard Deviation
Range = the diffrence between the largest and the smallest
Standard Deviation = a measure of variability


To calculate the standard deviation of a groupe of numbers it can be determined by using these steps
1. Calculate the mean of the numbers.
2. Determine the diffrence between each number
3. Determine the squares of the differences
4. Determine the sum of these squares
5. Divide the sum of the squares by n -1
6. Calculate the square root of this number

Normal Distributions
Characteristics of the normal curve :
1. Bell Shaped - infanite in both directions
2.Symetric about the mean
3. median
4. is appromiatly all of the data

Correlation Coefficient
Correlation Coefficiant = how to interpret a number that measures a relationship between two sets of values.
Positive Correlation = means that as one variable increases another variable also increases

-1 <> 1
- -
( the range of values for all correlation coefficiants is always between the above)

Test on monday.
I found a standard Deviation calculator at http://invsee.asu.edu/srinivas/stdev.html it works really good for checking you answers.

correlation coeficients

Mental math, followed by corrections of correlation coefficient questions 1-4, quiz monday on stats, Question of the day: Is the use of computers too distracting for working in the classroom?

Lesson 3 Corrections and Lesson 4

We also did a Mental Math at the start of the class. There is also a quiz on Thursday on Statistics.

Today we did mental math and then were assigned to the homework that was do on friday again.

Thursdays notes

Standard Deviation

In class today we corrected lesson 2 standard deviation numbers 1 - 6. When finding the square root the number will always be positive. To find the range you must subtract the biggest number and the smallest number. To find the mean you must add all the numbers and then divede them by how many numbers there are Ex: 57+58+59+60/4 = 58.5 = th mean.

Pilot Test..

Mr. Max talked bout a pre exam called the Pilot Test... He asked us all if we were interested in writing it, it is a 90 min test and we have from between December 11 and January 18 to decide on doing the test. What's your decision on this?? Hang a comment on the post and let Max know.

Oct.26

we worked on Lesson 1 percentiles on friday page V-F-6 to V-F-7 # 1-7. and the assignment we start next was on Lesson 2 Measures Of Variability-Standard Deviation the assignment was on page V-F-14 to V-F-17 # 1-6.

Oct 29, 2007

At the beginning of class Mr. Max made a "plan" for the class because he didnt have his computer and smart board hooked up.... We talked about MOGA madness that is happening on Wed afternoon. He encourages us to buy a bag of grain to support our school, so get out there and buy some grain make the Big Guy happy...
This Friday is parent teacher and us students are welcome to attend with our parents. The Big Guy isnt going to say anything mean or humiliating (unless you really deserve it!!) he is just going to let your parents know how your progress in his class is going.
Mr. Max is checking our homework assignment from Friday. They were the statistics questions lesson 1 and 2.
So remember all y'all buy some grain support the case...

Lesson 2: Measures Of Variability

How to Determine Mean: example: 42+53+59+66+68+68+71+76+83+94 You then take those numbers add them all up and divide by how many there are so in this case there are 10 so divide it by 10 and which is 68.

Statistics...

Today in math we started a new chapter.... "Statistics"...

------------------------------------------------

WARNING: When you are searching for weird things, your going to find things that won't be applicable to what we are learning.

We did a test Review for Government finances, curancy conversions – buying rate – selling rate, Provincial, Municipal, and statement and demand for taxes.

Statement and Demand for Taxes Quiz

So, yesterday, we spent much of the class going over our last quiz. Apparently, many people followed my lead and bombed. We did worse than our teacher expected.


It makes perfect sense now, doesn't it?! Yeah, it should be pretty simple if you suck it up and write many, many numbers!




At least now I know where the heck those silly sidewalks go. It's nice how it's colour coded, too, I must admit. But look back at the first one.

The colours are different. Darn, well, so much for that.

We should pay better attention from now on - we need to pass Math. Because only by passing math can we:

!!!!

Federal Revenues and Ependitures

The federal government spends around 27% of it's total budget against interest charges, and the remaining 73% is used to support all federal government.

The 3 largest program expenditures of the federal government are National Defence, Other, Solicitor General, and Public Works.



Currency Conversions

Bank Buying - bank buy's foreign currency from you

Bank Selling - bank sells foreign currency to you



The difference in the bank buying and bank selling is that the bank can make a profit for providing the service of exchanging currency.



Importing Foreign Goods

Importing - bringing something across a national border, into a country.

Exporting - sending something across a national border out of a country.



Kinds of countries -

North American Free Trade Agreement (N.A.F.A)

Most favourite Nation (M.F.N.)

General Preferential (G.P.)



Customs Duties - paid at border to a government for bringing goods across.

Excise Taxes - another form of payment required paid to government for brining luxury across a border.



5 Steps

1. Convert to canadian

2.Duty (if applicable) on goods. Added to canadian conversion

3.Excise Taxes (if applicable).

4.GST ( on the sum of 1+2+3) 6% on tax
5.Add (1+2+3+4=5)

Provincial Revenues and Expenditures
Corporation Capital Tax is a tax on the annual paid - up capitial of corporations which have a permanent establishment in manitoba.
Gasoline tax has a provincial tax of 11.5 cents /L.. and diesel fuel has a provincial tax of 10.9cents/L
Tabacco Taxs 8 cents per cigarettes. Looose tabacco 5.3 cents per gram.

Municipal Revenues and Expenditures
Total Revenue Required
Property Tax Rate= ____________________
Total Portioned Assesment
Portioned Assesment = Market Value Assesment x portion Percentage

Factors that influence market value; age, location, size, landscaping, driveway, out buildings.

Statement and Demand for Taxes
Total Portioned Assesment
General Municipal Tax= ----------------------------------------- x Municipal Mill Rate
1000

Two factors influencing how much your property taxes are:
1. assed value of property
2. local rate of taxation ( mill rate)

Today Oct.18th we worked on mental math followed by statement and demand for taxes for part of the class, 1-9 which were corrected.

Spreadsheet assignment

The assignment we did for today was the assignment we did yesterday which was a spreadsheet assignments.
We use $250 for homeowner's tax credit.
The assignment was Lesson #4 V-E-37 to V-E-41
Questions were 1-9 all.

Spreadsheet assignment

The assignment we did for today was the assignment we did yesterday which was spreadsheets.

We had to use $250 for Homeowner's tax credit.
The assignment was Lesson #4 V-E-37 to V-E-41.

Questions were 1-9.

Municipal Revenues and Expenditures

This is the assignment we did friday. (2-10 evens only) For the students that missed friday questions 1-9 odds will be due for tuesday.

Assignment 2-10 evens(V-E-30) is above

Provincial Revenues

When doing GST and PST, there is a wrong way and a right way. Unfortunatly the wrong way is the fast way.

Fast Way/Wrong Way: 879.99 x 1.13 = 994.39. You can't add the tax together you have to do each tax separately. GST = 6%, PST = 7%.

We also learned that 0.599 is the same as 59.9. 0.599 is in dollars and 59.9 is in cents.

Some Important tax numbers that you will have to know them for the provincial exam. 11.5 cents/l for gas and 10.9 cents/l for diesel. You should also know that tax for cigarettes is 8 cents per cig, $16.00 per carton and 5.3 cents for loose tobacco.
