we’re germinating beans of two varieties: red kidney beans and black eyed peas.

We’ll check on them to see when they sprout.



We ate some pie on pi day.  We also did  some experiments with circles.  This one used  licorice laces to make circles.  We compared the circumference and the diameter of the circle, ate some licorice, and repeated.  Graphing circumference compared to diameter gives a linear graph with a slope that is pi.

We read a pi story

We also, in grade 10, looked at how many cheerios fit on circles of different sizes.

When we graph number of cheerios vs circle radius we get a curved graph.

For Grade 12 Workplace math, you can calculate your payroll deductions using the following website.

Remember, you will get paid for your time that you’ve worked.  If your attendance suffers, so does your pay!

What’s the best deal for buying the following items.

Cooking oil

Granola bars?

Skim milk?

What’s up with the cheese…. Look at the package sizes…400g is jumbo, 450g is not?

Toothpaste?
