Highway 10 Connexus

Grade 12 students in Manitoba learning Applied Math... They're in two different towns, and happen to be connected by Highway 10...They'll be learning with and from each other. Ryan Maksymchuk and Cam Bennet are teachers in Swan River and Dauphin, Manitoba, respectively. This is a bright idea that may encourage other teachers and students to consider collaborating with other learners in other places...It might work. It might not...Watch and see...

Today we learned how to solve route matrices. We had a work period to do questions 1-6 on page 76 in our textbook. some important things to remember is that A means 0 stopovers, A squared means 1 stopover, A cubed means 2 stopovers and so on. A + A squared = 0-1 stopovers, A + A cubed means 0-2 stopovers. Some examples of route matrices would be the different routes you could take from Toronto to Vancouver via plane, or who can contact who in a spy network.
