So I was shock to discover that today of all days was the day for my TPJ. There was a graded daily question dealing with of all things, vectors. The teacher then explained how we would go about answering the daily question using the smart board. There was a stupid trick in the question were we had to convert the mm to cm, which I got wrong of course. Mr. Manning did his sale pitch for the physics T-shirt thing. We then review the homework from the night before also dealing with vectors. Well, scaling vectors in particular. This is a basic skill that we need to master in order to move on and understand the rest of the unit. Some of the students did not understand so extra time was spend dealing with this this topic. We then moved on to adding vectors (great, huh).  yea the leason on adding vectors continued. I really don't have much to say about this, in fact he summed it up pretty well on page 14. Examples follow on page 15 and 16, Page 16 was homework if not finished in class. He then gave us some time to try and figure one out by ourselves, of course I was unable to figure it out because I was busy working on this TPJ. We went over the pratice problems and I started to understand it more. But yeah as stated earlier page 16 is homework, with instructions on Addition of Vectors on page 14.
