Scribe post for October 20, 2008

Monday, October 20, 2008
Today in class, Mr. Harbeck got us to write our names on a piece of paper. He put all the pieces in a bucket, and started pulling out random names, it was time for a new seating plan.

Either than that, we are finially done with probability. But that doesn't mean that we wont do any probability questions, we will still have some questions about probability on tests.

Anyways, We did a little game on the smart board. Hangman. The mystery word was INTEGERS. Our new topic in math is integers.

What are Integers ?
Postive integers
- can be written without a positive sign(+)
eg. +1 or 3
(+1) (+3)

Negative integers
- always written with a negative sign(-)
eg. -1 -3
(-1) (-3)
Mr. Harbeck said that the brackets are training wheels.

Adding Integers
think about money ($)


EG. (+5)+(+3)=8
I have 5 and I have 3

(-6)+(+10)=4

I owe 6 and I have 10
