iFolio Fractions and Decimals

by 043043 on April 12, 2013

In this blog post, I will be talking about math class this unit.

If I were to fall on the stress and learning graph, my stress level would be 3 out of 5, and my learning level would be 3 out of 5 as well. I chose both these numbers because I feel that I do not understand everything, but if I didn’t, then I should have asked the teacher. The most challenging thing for me in this unit was dividing decimals because I did not know how to. However, the easiest thing during this unit was converting decimals into percents because all you had to do was to multiply the decimal by 100 and then you get the number for the  percentage.

My effort in class and at home was poor because I did not take the time to learn the things that I did not know in class. This has reflected in my results by me not knowing how to divide the decimals in the actual test. In this unit, I liked the sense or nonsense game that we played in the beginning of class, I also liked doing 7B in the textbook because I had learned many things that I had not known before.

Overall, this unit was really helpful and I wish to do it again to catch up on the division of decimals.

Patterns Unit

January 25, 2013

The thing I liked most about our patterns unit was that we got to do real life situation problems such as the handshake problem. The thing I liked the least was that it was very hard to figure out some specific rules, but that’s actually pretty fun challenging yourself. I learned that for the inputs [...]

Black Tipped Mohawkan

January 22, 2013

My bird is called the black tipped mohawkan.   The strengths I had were drawing the actual bird because I did 2 rough drafts and 1 final draft. I put a lot of effort into my drawings. The weaknesses I had were writing the adaptations down because it was pretty hard to come up with [...]

The Lorax and Man-made Beach AOI

Using examples from The Lorax and the Man made beach article, the environment and human ingenuity can come into conflict when the environment has been wiped out because of the making of the man-made beach (SCMP). They can also come into conflict if the once-ler keeps on chopping down the truffula trees, to make thneeds, [...]
