The Half and Differences between Numbers
The difference between 13 and 7 is 6.
13 - 7 = 6
Half of this difference is 3.
6 divided by 2 equals 3.
The number 10 is halfway between 7 and 13.
Like this:
7 + 3 = 10 Or...
13 - 3 = 10
Finding a halfway between numbers.
Like this..
70 and 170
70 + 170 = 240
And divide it by two. It equals 120.
And:
68 and 72: The answer would be 69, 70, 71.
108.3 and 111.6: The answer would be 109 and 110
B is in between A and C.

Area
Example:
Area of square and rectangle>>> Length x Width = Area
Parallelogram- a four figure with opposite sides, parallel and equal
Example:Height(h)- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.
Example:
Base(b)- side of a two dimensional closed figure.(SHAPE)
Example:
AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM
A=B X H
(b) is 5 cm and (h) is 3cm. Plug there values into a formula...
A = B X H
A= 5 x 3
A= 15cm

Bisecting Perpendicular Lines
Bisect-
Perpendicular Bisector-
Ways to Make a Perpendicular Bisector:
- Use a right triangle.
1. Make an arc from point A that is greater than half way.
Here is a video for all of you to enjoy and hopefully it will help you understand bisecting more.
** Today's Homework**
Remember that there is going to be a test tomorrow on perpendicular, parallel and bisecting line segments. So everyone please study hard.(:

How to Draw Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
How to Draw Perpendicular Lines
- fold paper like so:
2. use protractor like so:
Remember...
Pages 86-88 #1-16 is HOMEWORK!!!
Here is a quick link to save you the trouble of typing.
If you still have trouble with perpendicular lines, here's a video.

Parallel and Perpendicular lines
Geometry- shapes and measurements.
Parallel- describes two lines in the same plane that never cross, or intersect.
- they are marked using arrows.
Perpendicular- describes lines that intersect at right angles. ( 90°)
- they are marked using a small square. ________________________________________________________________
measure the diference from:
A to B
B to C
E to F
F to G
I to J
J to K
they all are 8.9 cm.
_________________________
identify any parallel lines you can find.
AE // BF, EI // FJ, CG // BF, GK // JF, AI // CK
what d0 you notice about parallel lines? they always are the same distance apart no metter where you measure, as long as you measure a perpedicular line.
identify any perpendicular line segments.
AE __ DF , FE __ AI , BF __ EG , CG __ FH
What do you notice about perpendicular line segments? they all meet at 60° angles.
*****************************************************************************
here is a link to a video i watched about line parallel and perpendicular lines.

*HOMEWORK*
#1. Are line segments AC and DF parallel?#2. Are line segments DF and BE perpendicular?
#3. Are line segments AC and BE perpendicular? How do you know?
#4. Would a line segment joining A to D be parallel to a line segment BE? How do you know?

What is BEDMAS?
Today at math we were learning BEDMAS.
1st B- ( brackets )
2nd E- exponents 32, 43
3rd D- division
----M-multiplication
4th A- addition
----S- subtraction
BEDMAS describes as the order of operations or the order of which you operate an equation.
To practice our knowledge, we were given equations to solve:
A. 2+3x4=
2+12=
14
B. 10-6÷2=
10-3=
7
C.(2+3)x4=
5x4=
20
D.(10=6)÷2=
4÷2=
2
E. 8÷22=
8÷4=
2
F. 4x3÷2+5=
12÷2+5=
6+5=
11
G. Create an equation that includes +, -, x, ÷, exponents, and brackets. The answer will equal 6. You can't repeat any number more than once and you can't use zero. Explain why you think my equation is right or wrong. If wrong, give an equation that is right and tell me what I did wrong.
This is the equation I got to get my answer:
(8x4)÷23+(9-7)=
32÷23+(9-7)=
32÷23+2=
32÷8+2=
4+2=
6

What we learnd today
(1.75-0.5) times (4.2\0.6+7.3-1.2
0.70 times ( 4.2 \ 0.6) + 7.3 -1.2
0.70 times 7 + 7.3 - 1.2
4.9+7.3-1.2
4.9+6.1 =11
What sign goes were
5.2\4+2.1
1.3+2.1
3.4 =3.4
2 times 3 \ 6 + (2-1)
2 times 3 \ 6 + 1
6 \ 6 + 1
1+1 = 2
Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 \2. she claims the answer is 3.85. do you agree or disagree? Explain why or why not. I think it is wrong because I 1.7 + 6 \ 2 then 1.7 + 3=4.7 so I think it is wrong.

Why We Estimate
Monday, October 26, 2009
Dividing Decimals
(:(: (:(: (:(: - 3 groups of 2 smiley faces.
The word Quotient is the answer to the division question.
If you have 6 dollars and you need pens for scrap booking that are 0.40 cents each?
We used 10x10 grids to solve this problem.
I did my grid like this :
(every colour represents a new type of pen.)
The number you could get with $6 is 15 glitter pens.
If you look at the two first pictures
= 5 glitter pens. and this is equal too $2 , 2 goes into 6 3 times. So, multiply the 5 x 3 = 15 glitter pens.
Now if you estimate, and make it an EASIER question, this is how you do it.
.40 round it off to 0.50 and round it to 2.
2
+2 - 2
__
4 -4
+2
__
6 - 6
+2
__
8 - 8
+2
__
10 - 10
+2
__
12 - 12
Where to put the decimal?
4/3.6=42778.
Round 3.6 to 4.
Now, change the question to a multiplication question.
4x4=16.
Now divide the 16 by 4.
16/4=4.
4 is nearer than 42. So put the decimal between the 4 and the 2.
4/3.6=4.2778.
This is a lady showing you how to divide decimals, if you need any help.

Multiplying Decimals
One thing the video brought up is that even though it looks like the answer is 3,864 you have to consider the numbers after the decimal point that hold value. In the equation the digits .1 and .4 are after the decimal point so you move the decimal point two places to the left. You will get 38.64 instead of 3,864.
I'm sorry about the fact that my keyboard doesnt have a divide button on it.
Remember: Math Links page 57-59 numbers 3-21 isn't homework
Here's an excellent link to a website that explains the concept of multiplying decimals well.

Estimating Decimals with Multiplication
What is the total when estimating?
1.69 x5= Tax is included.
Younger sister says it only costs 5 bucks.
Older brother says it only costs 10 bucks.
What are they thinking, how are they estimating?
Younger sister is thinking Under estimating, just 1.00x5= $5.00
Older brother is thinking Over estimating, 2.00x5= $10.00
Where do the decimals go?
2.2 x 1.8= 3960
Where do the decimals go here?
3.9 x 5.8= 22620
Is $9.00 enough and prove it.
2.57 x 0.45= 118220
Pronghorn: 58kg Dall's: 1.5 times as much as a pronghorn.
How much does Dall's weigh?
Approximate: 90kg. 60x1=60 kg.
90 kg. (In between the two weights.)
60x2=120 kg.
Exactly: 87kg.
Homework is:
46x2.5 = 64x4.5 = First estimate then calculate.
Here is a video for multiplying decimals. If you click multiplying decimals it will take you to a link that explains the multiplying of decimals. Good Luck and I hope it isn't hard to understand.
Mr.Isfeld will be collecting number of the day tomorrow.

How To Scribe
Link- highlight a word and press the green button. Then look for a site that you think would build interest and that is about the topic. Then you copy and paste the URL. After you get a link, click preview to check the link. Check out this link!
Image- find an image (google image) then save it to your computer. Then browse and find the image. You can change the layout and size. Then press upload image. See this image!
Video-Go to youtube and find a video that will build interest about the topic you are discussing. Once you've found a video, click on the grey box anf highlight and copy the code that is in the box titled "embed". Then click edit HT.ML. Scroll to the bottom then pick the code and press preview. See this video!:
Font-To change the font, click the arrow next to the word "font." Scroll down and find a don't that you like and that all can read.
Colour-To change the color, click on the T with the colored squares. Then choose a color. It is best to change the color of important facts, but try not to use bright colors that are hard to see.
Size- To change the size, click the sign with the double T's. Then change the size you want to write with. Don't pick anything too small or too large.
Room 43 first scribe
Suzie will compose our first scribe on how to create a scribe.
Everyone else will leave a comment. You must leave something nice and something helpful.
Good luck and have a good weekend.
