The great left handed cheerio stacking race

February 8, 2017

We are stacking cheerios today!

We are comparing the stacking rates

And making graphs

Here are the worksheets we used: grade 9 and grade 10

After we determined who stacked cheerios the fastest and the slowest, we set up a head to head competition, and we levelled the playing field, giving the slower person a head start (we calculated how many cheerios they’d need to have as a head start–initial value).

Grade 9 Exam Review

January 18, 2017

Hi Grade 9s,

It’s been kinda crazy with two snow days in a row. EQAO has been moved to Thursday and Friday, and with our chapter 5/6 test (I’ll make it a small one) on Monday, we will have only 2 days in class to review. I have made this checklist to help you get started on your studying tonight and this weekend.

Secret Santa

December 22, 2016

A class tradition has become having a secret santa gift exchange before holidays. The emphasis is on making our gifts. This year there were some very creative presentations, songs, and artwork, baked goods, and inside jokes. Many thanks to everyone for all the efforts and enthusiasm you brought to this tradition.

Cookie houses

December 22, 2016

We made cookie houses this week and calculated the volume and surface area.

We also worked on making an icing recipe that would stick the houses together well. We needed to adjust the proportions of sugar and water until it was just right.
