Hm.. math.. math. What was my favourite thing during this term? Well.. i gotta say doing the problems using the P/T chart or x,k,y chart. It was easy to understand and worked 85.9 % of the time.
The hardest thing during this term? Hm.. i would say trying to understand what we did while i was gone for a week. Didn't understand a thing, but on the postive side the blue book got me caught up in like a day and a half. I learned a lot this term in math.
Hm.. anything else? I guess not.

This is my reflection on our proportion and ratio table unit
What I thought that was interesting about this unit was learning how to be able to use a ratio table and xky because it was more esay then a word ratio (i think that what it called, not so sure) and i had a hard to understand it. But i had an easier time by using a ratio table, I was kind of confused about the xky at first but now I understand it.
What I had a difficult on doing this unit was in the end, when we were working on the white booklet some of those question were really hard for me because I didn't understand it until I asked some one for help. For example, #9 on the sheets was really hard for me and I didn't understand. When I should have because it was about the perimeter and area which I am good at but I just blank on the question because I over analyze it. It just goes to show don't over think what you are doing.
Remember to study for the test on Wednesday

Okay, so what i found easy was the ratio tables (the p t chart), x k y table, finding the measurements, and finding the unit rate (when I have a calculator).
What I enjoyed doing was using the PT chart. It made things so much easier, and tidier!
What I don't get is the stuff on the quiz we did today. Like reducing a shape and enlarging it. I think it's really confusing. Mr. Harbeck was explaining it to me, but I still sort of don't get it.
If you need help with anything, now's the time to ask. Don't leave things till the last minute. I know I'm being hypocritical right now, but still. XP Oh! Don't overthink things, it just makes your brain hurt even more. =P

My reflection about the proportion and ratio table unit:
My favourite part in the unit was doing the things in the blue book. Like doing the fractions, and finding the percents by doing ratio tables and x k y charts. I thought it was really easy. But sometimes when i do ratio tables, I get confused with what numbers I put for the Part and Total.
What i find that's difficult in the unit is making shapes larger or smaller without changing the shape. I don't understand the steps in doing that. So i should ask someone who knows how to do it before the test, or else I won't do good on my it.
I learned alot of new things this unit. Learning how to do these questions many different ways sometimes gets me confused. But doing these charts helps make work easier.

In this unit I learned alot! My favorite part of this unit was using the ratio tables and equivalent fractions. By using those it made it much more easier and clearer to understand.
The hardest part of the unit for me was the xky charts cause I didn't really understand them but today Mr. Harbeck explained it to me and now I understand.

February 05 / 2007 MORNING scribe
okay .. today we started off with a test
There was only ONE question .. but two parts :
A. Use the Graph Paper below to reduce this diagram to half its original size.
heres what I did :
First i found the area of the biggest rectangle by length times width. so that 6 X 8 = 48 .
Second I found the area of the triangle on the top . Finding the area of a triangle needs one more step . So the triangle's width is 4 and length is 8 .. so 4 X 8 = 32 BUT a triangle is HALF a square/rectangle .. so you have to do 32 divided by 2 =16
Third I did the chimney all i did was count , because part of the chimney was covered by the triangle and the area of that is equal to 6.
Fourth I added all the numbers together. 48 + 16 + 6 = 70 so the area of the house is 70
Fifth I divided 70 by 2 and i got 45 . Then I divided each section by 2 (e.g 48/2 , 16/2 and 6/2) then i drew it on the other side of the graph paper
B. What would the area of the door be if you enlarged the diagram to twice its original size? Show how you solved this question.
First i got the area of the door .. which is 8
Second I multiplyed the door's area (8) by 2 to DOUBLE the size
Third .. to make sure I got the question right .. i just made sure that TWO doors could fit in that one door.
P.S. DONT COPY WHAT I JUST DID .. its just what I did .. not EVERYTHING i do it right .. in class today Mr. Harbeck said something about people that do good in the class would not do good in this test or something xp i forgot
then for the rest of the class we talk about "BlogginOnBlogging" where we had to type a reflection on the math unit for 4 EASY marks . Then we worked on our booklet thingys for the rest of the class.
I WOULD do the aftn class but thats "UnKnowN J." 's job
hmm .. maybe he should pick tomorrow's scribe , becuase i dont know who to pick xp

This is my reflection on the past math classes and the white book:
During the past few classes we have been learning about different ways to solve questions like: the x k y chart, the t-chart, the part over total chart, and the cross multiply chart. I think these charts help a lot because they make work easier to see/understand and it helps your work look neater.
I think my work on the questions we got today in class really helped me understand more because we had to use at least two different ways to find the answers. It helped me understand more on how to use the different charts, and the amount we had to do really helped to understand questions and how to use the charts.
The thing I found hard about the white book is figuring out the length and width of things. Like question #1. What I also found hard was solving the missing measurement and putting it into the charts. Also, at the beginning of the subject I didn't understand how to figure out were to put the numbers in the x k y chart and how to work the t-chart but I'm slowly understanding how to work the different charts.
The thing I will try and do next time is if i don't understand something in class I will ask Melissa or Thyrza to help me understand, even though they help me in class I will go to them earlier in time so I understand everything in class.
