Before looking at the actual question we went over a method on how to do vector problems.
One idea Mr. Max expressed was the difference between a "drawing" and a "sketch". A drawing is a perfect, to scale picture, while a sketch is pretty much a doodle. Keep that in mind when doing homework and eventually the test.
While going through this method Mr. Max showed us that no matter what way your vectors are put together, as long as they're together to begin with, they can be put together any other way and still work. This created the bear holding the newspaper picture that was not purposely created and we kind of laughed a bit.
With twenty minutes left in class Mr. Max decided that for homework we were supposed to do one the remaining questions from exercise 3. So, please do either question 4, 5, or 6 from exercise 3. Have a nice day!

Tyler,
Good post! In general, here are some of the things that you've done to make this post a useful reference to what happened in class today.
1. The spacing of your post along with the pictures of the screen shots intermittently contributes to a really useful overall effect. Your classmates should pay attention to how you've done this. I like it, and if I were in your class, I could learn from it...
2. Your way of 'speaking' on the blog is really appropriate for a school/classroom setting. What I mean specifically, is that I didn't see spelling/grammatical mistakes, which drives me crazy when reading a Grade 12 blog... Also, it's obvious that in a few cases (like the draw vs. sketch), you've paraphrased me for the sake of brevity. In university, that will be a really valuable skill...
3. All of the important stuff is here, without anything much extraneous...I especially liked the idea of wishing everyone a nice day. We (including me) should do more of that kind of thing.
Are you at all curious that if we learned the triangle method today, what the parallelogram method will look like tomorrow?
Nice work again, Tyler.
