scribepost for oct 5
The four 4's
These two equations are the same because they have the same answer.
They are different because there was a line between the 4's in the first equation and the second one doesn't
Hey guys,
My name is Shelby Mackey. I'm currently in my first year at the University of Regina taking secondary education. I'm a major in math and a minor in english. I'm taking a class called ECMP 355 and so I've been assigned to work with you in your class as a mentorship.
A little about myself, I'm 18 years old born and raised in Moose Jaw, SK. My family consists of me, my mom and dad, and my little brother who is in grade ten right now. I also have a chocolate labrador named Jake, and a cat named Bailey. I love sports, I've played all my life. My favourites are soccer and basketball, and I like playing tennis, football, badminton, and many others.
I have a blog, you can access it here. Check it out, it's for my ECMP class so there's not much there yet.
I look forward to working with you ad have fun in school:)!

Maths on the other side of the world
Hi Year 8s
It's Mr Montgomery here. I'm that maths teacher that commented in your blogs a few days back.
Mr Harbeck has allowed me (and my students) to post up on your blog. Mr Harbeck and I are thinking that his students (you) and my students can create a more real audience for your work by sharing blogs.
I've put some snapshots of my students of my students at work. We don't have ready access to computers in the class room yet. However we do try to do interesting stuff that sometimes means sitting down at desks, sometimes using the whiteboard space and sometimes working outside.
My students are on their spring break at the moment. They will come back to school on Tuesday 13th October. After that we'll try and be in regular touch with you.
Of course you know how busy school life can be. So no promise. But we will see what we can work out.

elvin817 Scribepost Question 12 October
Question #12
12.a) Explain how this graph is misleading.
-this graph is misleading because the vertical scale goes from 0 to 500, but the greatest number of votes was less than 200. Therefore, it appears that all three candidates were close to winning, and the implies that all three candidates tied.
b.)Based on the graph, what can you conclude about the outcome of the voting?
-Answers may vary. Candidte B barely won the election.
C.)Does the data support the claim made in the title? If not, reword it to correct the misinformation.
-No, the votes were not divided evenly three ways. Answer may vary, a new title could be Election R.

Jennifer8-17 , Question #5
this is the question and answer for number 5 :)
a) How many times taller does the bar for B appear for the bar for A?
-Bar B appears to be 3 times taller then bar A.
b) How many times as great are the votes for B than the votes for A?
- There are 2 times more greater votes for candidate B than bar A
.c) What conclusion does the graph suggest about the election results?
-Candidate B has most votes .
d) How could the graph be redrawn to make the data clearer?
-It can be drawn on a pictograph . For me , that would be easier to make data clearer .
Please Comment ! :D
noeLLeCuvos Scribepost Question 13 October
My scribepost is about question #13. I will be showing you my way and how I got the answer with the best description posible.
(NOTE: I can not apply pictures to this scribepost at the moment so bare with me as I try to explain with my best description.)
The question is states:
13. a) The two circle graphs are meant to represent the same information. Does it appear that way? Explain.
The graphs share the same data, but shown with different pieces. The correct graph would have to be graph B, because the percent and the piece sizes are the same, as apposed to graph A the pieces are distorted from the actual percent.
b)Identify the errors in Graph A.
Graph A can be appeared as an incorrect graph fore the pieces are not formed properly and the size and percents don't match up. One example is the A piece and the C piece are said to have the same percent, but the sizes are way off. Another example is piece B has a percent that is smaller than A and C, but the piece is bigger than C. And the biggest error is piece D, because the shape of the piece is equal to one half, but the said percent is 35%.
