Don't be scared....lol
Yes, I am sorry to let you all know, we will be doing fractions for the next little while. If you pay attention in class and ask for help, if you need it, you will do just fine. Don't panic, it will come to you.
Just a reminder to some of you. Please try to show up on time so you do not miss the initial lesson in math. It is very important that you be there.
For those of you who didn't finish 4.2, have it on my desk first thing in the a.m.
See you tomorrow.

Fractions Are Easy. :)
ReplyDeleteOnce You Know How To Do Them That Is...
A Statistical Department is hiring mathematicians. Three recent graduates are invited for an interview: one has a degree in pure mathematics, another one in applied math, and the third one obtained his B.Sc. in statistics.
ReplyDeleteAll three are asked the same question: "What is one third plus two thirds?"
The pure mathematician: "It's one."
The applied mathematician takes out his pocket calculator, punches in the numbers, and replies: "It's 0.999999999."
The statistician: "What do you want it to be?"
BTW...still waiting for a joke from Darvis.
ReplyDeleteIf they don't get the first joke, maybe they'll like this one...
ReplyDelete"Isn't statistics wonderful?"
"How so?"
"Well, according to statistics, there are 42 million alligator eggs laid every year. Of those, only about half get hatched. Of those that hatch, three fourths of them get eaten by predators in the first 36 days. And of the rest, only 5 percent get to be a year old for one reason or another. Isn't statistics wonderful?"
"What's so wonderful about all that?"
"If it weren't for statistics, the whole world would be full of alligators!"
Here's your joke Mr. Restoule-General
ReplyDeleteTEACHER: James, do you use bad words?
JAMES:No sir.
TEACHER:Do you disobey your parents?
JAMES: No sir.
TEACHER:Come now, you must do something wrong every once in a while!
JAMES:I tell lies.

Good one Darvis!
ReplyDeleteBut you spelt "Darvis" wrong when you typed it "J.A.M.E.S."

ReplyDeleteu r absolutely right....fractions r easy, once u understand how they work. Sometimes understanding how they work takes longer for some students, and we must be patient and understanding, as i was one of those students that took a little longer to catch on. however, once i did, np.
