We are suppose to make a blog for this term or as mr. isfield said that we are just throwing away 40% of our marks away.

So everyone study for exams cause it is going to be hard!

If you don't study you will F-A-I-L big time you should really try.

And one mor thing

LAKERS FOR THE WIN! BOSTIN SUCKS! LAKERS OWNS BOSTIN!

Blog

we are sopose too make a blog for this term
its worth 40% of your math grade
u also have too co
mment on ALL the blogs this term
If not there is a good chance that u will FAIL so u better study for the exam

but remember study and don't

Five Tips for Tests

Tip 1: Gauge your time

Unless it's a take home test, you only have so much time to get it done. Look at the mark's for each question. Figure out the time to give each answer.

Tip 2: Know the rules

Ask your teacher about the rules for the test. Can you use calculator? Bring notes? Talk to friend? Do you get penalized for wrong answer? Are you better of guessing or leaving a blank?

Tip 3: Plan your attack

Often it's to take a minute or two to think about HOW you're going to answer the question.

Tip 4: Fill the space

If there are five lines for an answer, or a big space on the sheet, fill the lines or the space. They give you an idea how big an answer your teacher expects.

Tip 5: Check your answer

In math, work backwards to make sure your is right. Language arts, proofread to make sure your spelling and punctuation are correct.

Exam Review (:

300 kids were asked what was their favourite color ( shown on circle graph )

1. How many like green

2. How many like blue ?

3. How many like gold ?

Answers :

90 like green

75 like blue

135 like gold

* can also be shown through a ratio table .

What is the estimated ratio of circumference to diameter ?

3.14 : 1

Find the circumference when the radius is 6 cm .

* 2r = d

6 x 2 = d

12 = d

* c = 2 pi r ( sorry, i couldnt find the pi symbol on my laptop )

12 x 3.14

circumference = 37.68 cm

* MEMORIZE THESE FORMULAS *

d = 2r

c = pi d

c = 2 pi r

Find the area when the diameter is 10 meters

A = 3.14 x 5 (5)

A = 3.14 x 25

A= 78.5 meter sq.

The measure of a sector is 20 % of the data. What is the central angle of this sector

20 % of 360 dergrees.

0.2 x 360 = 72 degrees.

* remember all circles are made up of 360 degrees.

the central angle is 198 what percent of the circle does that represent

55 %

I have a pool with a radius of 6m.

My yard is 30m by 15m.

How much space do I have left in my yard

To get the area of the yard you multiply 30 and 15 which = 450

To get the pool you use area you use A= 2 pi r which = 113.04 m

To get the answer you subtract 113.04 from 450 which = 336.96 m squared.

Your yard is 100 feet by 40 feet. You aced a 3 foot sidewalk around your pool. If your pool is a circle, what is the biggest area your pool can be .

40 - 6 = 34 feet.

Ao = pi r squared.

Ao = 3.14 x 17 squared

A0 = 3.14 x 289

A0 = 907.46 ft squared
