Simple Guide for Add Maths Project TUGASAN 4/2010

Alrighty. Add Maths project... hmm. I typed this thing out at 2am - 5am in the morning. So if you find spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes, you know why.

You can find more information here and if you find mine is just too vague. Just register and activate you account and you'll be able to view it.[HERE]
Question paper. Lost it? Go here. [HERE]
Air-cond sizing worksheet. [HERE]

*PRECAUTIONS (LOL)
1. Graphs. It's best if you draw the graphs manually. In other words, by hand. And by hand, I mean drawing.... with pencil. Yeah.
2. Tables. You can draw the outline of the table using computers. But fill in the data that you've obtained by hand.
3. Calculations. 100% by hand. No computer aided work here. Show every single working. Even if the calculated data is supposed to be filled into the table, you still have to show the working.
4. Generals. Most of the pages can be done with the aid of computer except the ones I mentioned above. But it's not a problem if you want to do it completely by hand.

The ones I put in bracket indicate the corresponding criteria in the rubric that I'm having. Maybe I can upload it later if anyone wants it. It's basically a table of criteria for the folio. What you need in the folio:
1. Title Page (A1) - Include your name, class, school's name, teacher's name, project title i.e. Index Prices in Our Daily Life.
2. Contents Page (A1) - Quite obvious what you should do here.
3. Objectives (A2) - List out the objectives of doing this project. 3 would be enough, I guess. i.e. To develop positive attitude towards mathematics.
4. Introduction (A2) - Basically this is just a copy and paste work from Wikipedia. Find the history, uses, and etc etc.

Now, I'm referring to the question paper. If you lost it, go here. [HERE]
5. Part 1
a) Collect pictures, newspaper cuttings or photos on items that you have chosen. A plain collage is adequate. Cut and paste. Simple.
b) Copy back Table 1 and gather your data [FIELD WORK]. Make sure you use the same measurements for each of the identical items.

Table 1b

ENLARGE

c) Create at least two suitable graphical presentations. I'm not quite sure what this means. Maybe you can do those graphs like in the stock market for each of the items. I'm just speculating for this one. The information that they give is just too vague.
d) Basically, just write whatever you think the graph is showing you. i.e. Most expensive and etc. Then, comment on what you've found.
e) Identify ONE item which is too cheap or too expensive (10 or 20 sens in difference is kinda extreme, in a way) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of that particular item. And, think why its price is like that.

6. Part 2
a) From Part 1, just state which shop you'd go to purchase those items. State your reasons and explain why.
b) Copy and fill up Table 2 with the prices of items from the shops that you choose.

Table 2b(i)

ENLARGE

    (i) Calculate the price index for each of the ingredient for 2010 based on 2009.
    (ii) Then, calculate the composite index for 2010 based on 2009. Explain how you get your answers.
    (iii) State a suitable selling price for the butter cake in 2010. Explain why.
   
c)  (i) Air-cond capacity based on room size. I THINK you have to list out the standard capacity of the     air-cond and its corresponding room volume. Not sure if this helps, but you can try this. [HERE]
    (ii) Get the volume of the library. Explain how you get the answer. Determine how many air-cond and the air-cond capacity do you need to keep the library in a cool condition. You can use your own estimation or you can use Fudin's. His is 600 cubic metres.
    (iii) Then, get an estimation of the total price for the air-cond(s) and determine how many butter cakes you need to sell to buy the air-cond(s).

7. PART 3
a) Complete Table 3 based on the information given on the previous passage. The one right on top of the 3(a). It's suppose to be something like this.

Table 3a

ENLARGE

b) Calculate the composite index for the estimated budget for 2010 based on 2009. Best be done in a table form. Like this:

Table 3b

ENLARGE

Then, comment on your answers. Just mention the increment is sufficient, I think.

c) Using the information that they gave, calculate the composite index for 2011 based on 2009. This one is pure calculation. You don't need to draw any tables.

8. FURTHER EXPLORATION   
For this part, you'll have to elaborate on the different types of index numbers and their importance in our daily lives.

9. CONCLUSION
Best if you make a conclusion for each part of the assignment. This is basically your findings about the project. I don't think specific findings is required, just general ones will do.
I.e.
Part 1 - BLABLABLABLA BLA BLA BLA BLABLA
Part 2 - Etc etc etc
Part 3 - Fffisgjskkfopfjrij

Something like that. -.-

10. REFLECTION
I think the guide they have on the paper is quite sufficient to guide you. So, just follow from there.

11. REFERENCE
Just list out your source of information to finish up this project. And, this blog doesn't count. So, don't include that in.
For websites: www.example.com/example.html
For books: [BOOK TITLE], [PUBLISHER], [WRITER(S)], [DATE PUBLISHED], [PAGES]

12. APPENDIX (Lampiran... =.=)
Just put the question paper there. That's the only appendix you'll need.

The Unofficial HAKK "Holiday"

Today, the Hari Anugerah Kecemerlangan Kokurikulum (HAKK) was held. The event started at 7.40 am (was it?) and ended at around 9.30 am. Lessons continued as usual shortly after. Well, at least those who were absent didn't waste their time enjoying their little "holiday" right, Ethan?

Since there was quite a number absentees today, I'll be posting today's homework here. So, those who weren't present, please take note.

Homework

Practice 1, pg 182 (Chapter 9: Differentiation)

DO ALL (Book 1)

Book 2 had been sent.

*Just a little summary of today's Add Maths lesson. Just in case you don't understand the explanation in the text book.

lim means limit

x --> n means "when x is approaching n" where n represent a constant (number) .

Anything after the limit and "x --> n" is called a function. Example: 1/(x+4) [refer to textbook]

-[-][-I'll refer the "limit", the "x --> n" and the function as a "function limiter". Keep in mind that this is not the official name of the "funtion limiter"-][-]-

So for Q1, construct the table and key in the function on your calculator and replace x with the constant. As in the case of the first question, x = 1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001. The same thing goes for Q2. After you're done with the questions, write down the "function limiter" expression again and put it equal to the number it's approaching. As in the case of the first question, the answer is 2.

As for number 3, just substitute x in the function with the number that it's approaching. For example, "x --> n". In this case, substitute x inside the function with n and you'll get the answer.

That should be all. Hopefully the explanation above helps.

Shifted - Assessment 2

Just a little announcement in case you didn't notice the announcement on the board earlier. Tomorrow the Physics and Add Maths test is shifted to after recess. According to the schedule, it was suppose to be before recess but Mr Shukur just told me this morning that it was shifted to after recess. So, I don't really know which one to follow either. So, I'd suggest you just bring all the books required in our original class timetable. Add Maths and Physics lessons is on the same day too. So, it shouldn't be a problem.

That should sum it up.

All in One day

Today we had homeworks for all subjects except BM (Hooray..). So.. I'll list down the homeworks~:

Chem - do the quick review questions on page 65, 69 and 72..

Bio - finish up your PEKA and do the exercise from the papers handed out..(do til page 8 i think)

Maths - do the ones given on the board...

Add. Maths - as some of you go home early or go camp.. I'll write down the works here..
Do chapter 6 formative exercise 6.1 pg 92 question 1, 3 and 5..
That's all only heh..

Sekian, terima kasih XD

I'm out of ideas for the title....~~~ sienz

Haha, it's been quite some time since the last post, eh? I've been kinda busy with the new layout. Just a few reminders and notifications....

Biology

We'll be conducting an experiment on Wednesday. The experiment revolves around the concentration of solutions, I think. So, I'll advise you to bring a potato for yourself. Although you'll be in a group of 4, it'd be better if you just bring one just in case other group members didn't bring their share of potatoes. Just make sure the potato isn't too small. We need to observe what would happen to it. 

Ah, I just remembered there were still some of those who didn't get their Paper 3 exercises. The one on the erythrocytes.So if you want the exercise, come and see me. I still have a few more copies with me. And thats all for Bio.

Secondly is Physics

Yah, physics PEKA. Tomorrow's the deadline. Submit your PEKA tomorrow. Don't really have much to say about this. So, that's it lah. Oh yah, there's still another thing. Prepare a report on your rocket.

Next is Results Slip

If your name is listed here, please bring your Results Slip tomorrow.

a) Alvin

b) Veno

c) Vinod

d) Arina

Yeah, bring it tomorrow, kay? I only need 4 more. I've been holding 33 of these since the last 2 or 3 weeks, so please help me get rid of the extra load in my bag. XD

Chemistry

Those 10-12 pupils who haven't pass up your exercise book, please do so. The deadline was weeks ago. Chances had been given. Just don't take things for granted. What's the point of giving chances if you don't try your best to use it to the fullest? Ah and yes, summarise the notes on chemistry located below. Or just use this link if you're lazy.

Bahasa

Haha. Pass up your Karangan book tomorrow. The essay is about the Rumahku Syurgaku letter, if i'm not mistaken. So, finish it up and I'll collect it first thing tomorrow.

Add Maths

We'll be having extra class this Friday until 12:50 pm. So, inform whoever is picking you up that you'll be a bit late.

PJ (For boys)

Directed to all 4M/J boys. We'll be having PJ on Wednesday to finish up the SEGAK test. There'll be a bit of push-ups and sit-ups, i think. So, best prepare yourself if you feel like impressing some anonymous person. Isn't that right, Nic?

Science & Maths Society

The S&M society is organizing Explorace as part of their participation in the Academic Month. The race is open to all morning-session pupils. A fee of RM4 will be charged on each group and each must have only 4 group members. No more, no less than that. Further information can be obtained at the S&M notice board located on the ground floor of Block B. Or if you don't like walking to the board, you can always have the walking board, Parri, come to you instead. XD

I don't think I want to bring up anything about the Sport's Day. So, that's the end of the first post for the new layout and that's all until the next post comes, I guess.

Welcome to March... Goodbye February 29th

I know... the title should have been used in the previous post but it was kinda messed up and i'm lazy to edit it  XD. -Back to formal language-

Welcome to March. A lot of activities awaits us this month, in my perspective at least. Sukantara is going to be held soon. So, please train yourself if you want your sports house to win. That should be it. The rest would be more effective in point form.

<----|Reminders|---->

1. Complete your Sivik project by tomorrow. I'm not so sure what would happen if you send late too anyway. So, just suit yourself.

2. Complete all your other homeworks.

---> Mod Maths - Assessment 1 corrections (Book ?)

---> Add Maths - Chapter Review Q1, 2, 9,11

---> Bio - I have no idea

---> Chem - Quick Review pg30. Do all of the Q's.

---> BM - Please complete your Karangan about water pollution and KOMSAS.

That's all for tomorrow, I think.

p/s: Arina.... I'm still waiting for the pics. Please send it before the holiday starts. Anyone who wish to speak up their mind or just want to post something good here (no nonsense, please) inform me personally at school. I'll send you the login details through your mail. That would be all. If you have any important requests or questions, please use the inquiries option.
