@MrHoggsClass What is you write it in fraction form with 2(2+2) as the denominator? Then I would say the answer is 1.

Had a great time at the Eastview kids Christmas party. Was nice of Santa to find time to visit with our little ones. Great job by the teachers and students who organized and ran the event. #ESShappenings @SCDSB_Schools

You're never too old to play with toys. Grade 9's determining the relationship of distance pulled back vs distance travelled of some "high tech" toy cars. @scdsbmath. #EAShappenings

Wrapped up the Exponential Functions unit by "borrowing" some physics equipment, racing cars down ramps and creating distance time graphs. Love connecting different subjects together. Why do we learn math? To do science! #EASHappenings @SCDSB_Schools @scdsbmath

Catapult time with all grade 11s. Some great catapult designs. Quadratic functions in action. @scdsbmath #EAShappenings

Students making their own connections between the key points in a parabola to real world context. Giving x and y coordinates some meaning and purpose. @scdsbmath

Doing some group trigonometry problem solving in MBF3C. Let's pool all that brain power together. @scdsbmath #ESShappenings @SCDSB_Schools

[Mrs. S. McCarthy @MrsMcCarthy9]

MBF3C did surveys for stats this week and learned that most students have iPhones, Snapchat is the social media platform of choice and gym is the most popular subject 😪 Where's the love for math?😆 @scdsbmath @SCDSB_Schools

[Mrs. S. McCarthy @MrsMcCarthy9]

Organizing my teaching supply closet and what did I find? Alka Seltzer and film canisters? Time for my daughter and I to have a STEM moment.

[Mrs. S. McCarthy @MrsMcCarthy9]

The Eastview production of Willy Wonka was amazing. Had my daughter singing all the way home. Amazing job by all involved. @SCDSB_Schools

[Mrs. S. McCarthy @MrsMcCarthy9]

Lots of reading and word fun at Readapalooza @HillcrestTigers. Enjoyed one of the books from the book swap as our bedtime book tonight.

Great job by the Parenting class with the Kids' Christmas Party. My little elf had a great time. Pretty sure I've seen that Santa somewhere before though. @NPSSnews @umap03

Doing some linear exploring on Desmos and trying to figure out what in the world y=mx+b actually means. Any ideas? #scdsbmath @NPSSnews
