**Book resource steps**
How find books at the Sturt Library using the Catalogue system. Step 1: Log on into ASMS website. Then click the link which says ASMS Portal Step 2: Once you’re in the portal click them link which says Flinders library catalogue which is in the far corner on the right. Step 3: Once you’re in there write your search in the text box which says search catalogue. Step 4: A whole listing of the book you want will come up. It will say where the book is located and in which library. Step 5: Once you have found your book, you may go down and collect your book. E.g. Audrey and I had to find the book called the Book of Numbers. We wrote the book of numbers in the search catalogue. We got a list of all the different Books of Numbers but we had to find the one written by John Horton Conway and Richard K. Guy. The key code for this book is 512.7 C767b, it was also written in 1937. This book was located in the teaching section in Sturt Library. We had to walk over to the Sturt library and look in the teaching section. After a couple of minutes the book was located. I had to borrow the book in my name. Then we walked back to class and start finding information about the circles formula.

How to get the quartic regression in a Graphics Calculator Texas Instrument (TI-84)

 * 1) On a TI-84 calculator press >Stat >Edit
 * 2) Enter Data, L1 for points on circle, L2 for Regions that you found through the practical drawing. L1 for X axis, L2 for Y axis
 * 3) Escape (2nd function, quit)
 * 4) Press >Stat >Calc> Quartic Reg
 * 5) Press Enter
 * 6) On the display screen
 * 7) Press L1, L2 >vars, y-vars >Function Y1
 * 8) With these results go >Y= to get the equation

How to find the formula using matrices in your calculator using the Graphics Calculator Texas Instrument (TI-84):
1. Press 2nd func > [x^-1] matrix>edit 2. Plug in the given numbers (see diagram above) 3. Press 2nd func > [x^-1] matrix > math > rref( > enter 4. Press 2nd func > [x^-1] matrix > [A] > enter 5. The screen will show 0's and 1's with the formulas on the sides 6. Press [Math] > frac. > enter 7. The formulas will come out as fractions which is easier to input.

**An effective way to work in a team!**
Step 1: Have the SURPRISE sheet printed off the portal or get one from your teacher. Step 2: Do the questions on the sheet to find the answers Step 3: Collaborate with your group and discuss the answers Step 4: Look for different resources, the resources good be from books, internet, brain and etc. Step 5: Gather in the group and talk about your resources. Step 6: By using the resources try to find a formula, it doesn't have to be the correct. Step 7: Get back together and collaborate about the formulas Step 8: After start delegating about your work Step 9: You may found a approximate answer but keeping using your resources as you may get an even better formula Step 10: If you have done all these steps then you have worked in an effective way with your team and you have your formula
