My 1000th post and John Lennon's Birthday!

I am so excited to post my 1000th post on this blog!  I started back in November 2009, so it's taken me three years to get here, but here I am!  I want to send out many thanks to all of the students that have read my blog and participated in the learning that goes on on the blog!  I love that people all over the world have visited my page!  My next milestone is hitting 100,000 page views!  I'm close to 98,000 right now, so it should be right around the corner!

Now on to something else:

Today is John Lennon's birthday.  He would have been 72 years old today.  John Lennon was one of the members of the music group, The Beatles.  Though he is famous for much of his work, activism and personality, he is probably most known for writing the song Imagine.  The lyrics are posted below.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Have a great day!

Adding and Subtracting Integers

Here are some videos to help you with the adding and subtracting of integers... Remember to take your time working on the homework.  I am more concerned about you understanding the concept than getting it done quickly.

Math is Musical, Music is Mathical!

Another Vi Hart video...  each pattern corresponds to notes as they change.  Now I'm not musically literate, but this is amazing and beautiful!  Check it out!



Vi Hart's comment on the video:

A visual and musical expression of mathematical symmetry groups. The transformations done to the video are equivalent to the transformations done to the notes.

These type of repeating patterns are called frieze patterns. A couple wallpaper groups are also represented.

Enjoy!

Graded Class Assignment Today

It went well from what I can tell!  Didn't mean to rhyme, but I do it all the time.

So anyway...  I will work on correcting your assignments today and tomorrow and I hope to post the grades by Friday.  Homework tonight is to check out the blog and hopefully leave a comment.  If you are reading this, you are already doing your homework!  Directions on how to leave a comment are below.  If you were in red class, you might have had other homework written in your planner, but it changed since the graded assignment took so long!

Leaving a Comment:

Toward the bottom of a post, you should see a clickable bit of green text that says "0 Comments" or "3 Comments" or whatever amount of comments there are.  If you click that, you will be taken to a comment page.  You type your comment in the text box.  Feel free to leave your first name and last initial in the box if you want.

example:

Below that, You have the option to "Comment As" someone.  If you want, you can use the drop down menu to  choose to post anonymously or as Name/URL.  Anonymous might be the best option, but if you do that, be sure to put your name in your comment.  Click the "Post Comment" button and you should be done!!!

example:

I hope that this helped!

And now for your viewing pleasure...  The Mini Band playing Metallica's Enter Sandman!  All of these kids are 8 years old with the exception of the drummer who is 10.  Pretty Awesome!

Lovely music.
