Blog for the week of February 22 - 26

Greetings Super Heroes!

A new week.. And it sure has been a nice few days... that sunshine mmmmmmmmmmmmm just fantastic!!!! Makes Super Heroes even smile more when it’s sunny!


This week we continue our fight against the bad guys of the world! In order to help us do this .. We will again equip ourselves with more.. Hmmm Powerbars? Nahhhh protein drink? Nah... oh I got it.. More MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!

Ok... it’s not what I want to do but what I must do... we are losing to many testing calculators.. Yep.. They are just disappearing.. Not sure where they are going but I have lost to many. So I will not be able to loan out calculators any more.... I would encourage you to go to Fred’s or bi mart and see what they have... remember it needs to have an A B/c button on it.. meaning it can do fractions.

BLOG QUESTIONS: If you do NOT put your name on your answer.. Um I have no way to know that it’s you!! ... I may have Super Hero Powers but ... I still cannot know whose answer it is without a name :( Also, steps on how to post a Blog question are to the right of this blog post.

2nd and 5th Period: This we will be working on multiplying fractions... and maybe .. Just maybe start do divide fractions! This, I think is one of the easiest things to do with fractions! :) Let’s see what you think!

BLOG QUESTION 2nd and 5th Period: 
Have you been watching the Olympics? Pretty exciting Hockey game last night! GO USA!! Right now we have 24 Medals: 10 Bronze and 7 Silver.. So #1 how many Gold medals do we have? Germany has 21 medals, #2 how many fewer medals do they have than us? #3 Sweden has 17 less than our total, what is their total medal count?

4th period:  We will be working on integers.. or should I say Mint-egers :) yummy... positive and negative numbers!  Now we are getting into some fun math!

BLOG QUESTION FOR 4th Period:

Iron Man decided to drive across the country in his Audi R8 to Atlanta Georgia - home of the Atlanta Braves, you know to catch up on what the team is doing! When he left (#1) Portland Oregon he went 231 miles on 18 gallons of gas, which he had paid $50.04 for the 18 gallons, how much was one gallon of gas? When he arrived in (#2)Bosie Idaho, he needed 22 gallons of gas which cost him $58.30, how much would, 18 gallons had cost Iron Man? Then he stopped in (#3) Omaha Nebraska, brrrrr and wow so flat! He bought 29 gallons of gas for $80.62, so how much would 18 gallons cost in Omaha? Finally he made it to (#4) Atalanta where he purchased 26 gallons of gas which cost him $74.10 and ... again .. how much would 18 gallons have cost him? I am hoping that you will use the formula for figuring out unit cost that we have been using in class to figure out your answer :)
