Today’s Plan.
Arithmetic. Yesterday I tried to encourage you to learn your times tables by doing some basic elementary Arithmetic. Here was the Assignment you had: X-1 Whole Number Operations. Of course in Essential math you are always allowed to use a calculator, but I will occasionally, myself, demonstrate calculations the old fashioned way by hand, for fun!. Make sure you have a decent calculator in the next couple weeks, (Movie: Decent Calculator) the Dollarama ones are not sufficient, neither likely is the calculator installed on your phone. I will show you some more readily available and useful calculators to download soon.
Today. Today we start on Unit B – Personal Finance, how to calculate your pay check!. Unit B Notes pages 1 to 4. Assignment B-1 Gross Income
