=My Subjects= =Math= Term 1 Math Reflection

What I learn in term 1 are: -Ratio(two-term, three-term and proportional reasoning) -Proportion -Square Root -Unit Rate -Pythagoras

One thing I remember about rates is that you can use them when your shopping and ratios can help you with organizing things. Proportion is something that says two ratio or two rates are the same. Pythagoras helped me with finding the hypotenuse of a triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest line on a triangle and the two other small lines are called the legs. To get the hypotenuse, you need to square the two legs of a triangle then you need to add them. Then you need to find the square root of the answer. The square root of the answer is the hypotenuse. I also learned about finding the size of the leg. To get the answer, you <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0px; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">need to square the hypotenuse and the other leg. Then you need to <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0px; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">subtract the hypotenuse with the leg you squared. Find the square root <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0pt 0px; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">of the difference to get the answer for the leg. Difference is the answer to a subtraction problem.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Those are only some things I Iearned in Math in term 1.

[|John's Volume Scribe]
4.Determine the volume of each right triangular prism. a.V=(b x h /2) x height of prism V=(7cm x 12cm /2) x 7cm V=294cm3 b.V=(b x h /2) x height of prism V=(8.1m x 15m /2) x 2.2m V=133.65m3 c.V=(b x h /2) x height of prism V=(320mm x 400mm /2) x 210mm V=13 440 000mm3

12.Copy and complete the following table. Right Rectangular Prism Length(cm) Width(cm) Height(cm) Volume(cm3) a. 7 2 ? 70 b. 12 ? 10 1080 c. ? 14 5 1200 Ans. a.10 b.12 c.20

14.A glass vase in the shape of a right triangular prism is filled with colored sand as a decoration in a living room. What is the volume of the vase? V=(b x h /2) x height of prism V=(15cm x 80cm /2) x 8cm V=4800cm3

[|John's Final Percent Post]
Percent means out of 100, A fractional percent is a percent that has part of a percent, for example, 1/2%, 0.55%, and 7.6%. All percents can be represented as a fraction or decimal. To find the percent of a number, you first write the percent as a fraction then divide the numerator by the denominator then multiply by 100. Percents can be used in equation like finding the discount of a price or adding or subtracting taxes.

===[|john's Homework Book Post]===

Math Homework Book:Pg.43 #4,5,6

4.What is the percent of each? Give your answer to the nearest hundredth. a)1/5% of 630=1.26 b)23 7/8% of 300=71.63 c)245% of $356.80=$874.16 d)68 3/4% of 730=501.88 e)360% of $129.95=$467.82

5.The commission for the sale of a house was 6 3/4%. If the house sold for $345 000, how much was the commission? Show your thinking. $23 287.50 is the commission of the house

6.Table salt is a chemical compound of sodium and chlorine. Recommended daily intake is a about 1700 mg. If Canadians consume 182% of this amount on average, how much sodium is one person eating daily? 3094 mg is the sodium for person in one day

[|John's Math Profile]
Hi my name is John. I am a math student in grade 8. My favorite subject is Math. I may not the smartest student in 8-14 but I'm the 5th hardworking student in class especially in math cause i love to use the numbers in many different ways to solve problems or questions.

In Grade 6 I really like the word problems. I remember one time the answer for the question is in the question itself. This year ill try my best to past the grade 8 Math.

Now in Grade 8. Ill try to finish all the homework and school work even if it is hard to past and advance to Grade 9.

**Ratio**

Two Term Ratio - compares two quantities measured in the same units. ex. X:Z, 1:2, 2 to 1

Three Term Ratio - compares three quantities measured in the same unit. ex. X:Z:Y, 1:2:3, 2 to 1 to 3

**Rates**

Rates - compares two quantities measured in different units. ex.(Shopping) $ 0.98/1 gas

**Unit Rate** - a rate in which the second term is one. ex. 20Km/h

**Unit Price** - a unit rate used when shopping. ex. $9.00/grams

** Proportional Reasoning **

**Proportion** - a relationship that says that two ratios or two rates are equal. ex. 3Km/2h = 12Km/8h ===[|John's Final Percent Post]===

Chapter 4 Understanding Percent

4.1 Representing Percent -Percent means out of 100 -Another name for hundred Ex. 65 means out of 100 or 65/100 or 0.65

4.2 Fraction, Decimal, Percents -Fraction, decimals, and percents can be used to represent numbers in various situations -Percents can be written as fractions and as decimals Ex. 1/2 = 50% or 0.50

4.3 Percent of a Number -You can use mental math strategies such as halving, doubling, and dividing by ten to find the percents of some numbers -To calculate the percents of a number, write the percents as a decimal then multiply by the number Ex. 12 1/2 of 50 = o.125 x 50 = 6.25%

4.4 Combining Percents -Percents can be combined by adding to solve problems. 5% + 7% = 12% -To calculate the increase in a number -You can add the combined percent amount to the original numbers Ex. 12% of 100 = 0.12 x 100 = 12

[|John's Great Big Book of Integers]
Chapter 1: Grade 7 Review of Integers I only finish Grade 6. I don't know this stuff.

Chapter 2:Multiplying Integers Chapter 3: Dividing Integers

Partitive Division: How many groups of 2 are in 6? or How many 2's go into 6?





Quotative Division: sharing with groups



Multiplicative Inverse can help you solve 6/(-2) by switching the number around when checking the answer. Like this: the answer in 6/(-2) is -3 so you use multiplicative inverse to check if your answer is right. 6/(-3)= -3.

Sign Rule﻿: Even= When you have an even number of negative factors the product is POSITIVE. Odd= When you have an odd number of negative factors the product is NEGATIVE.

6/2= +3 (it's positive because both factors are positive) -6/(-2)= +3 (it's positive because there is an even number of negative factors) (-6)/2= -3 (it's negative because there is an odd number of negative factors) 6/(-2)= -3 (it's negative because there is an odd number of negative factors)

Chapter 4: Order of Operations with Integers B.E.D.M.A.S. [square brackets around division/multiplication] eg. [(+5) x (-3)] + (-6) ÷ (+3)= -15 +[(-6) ÷ (+3)]= -15 + -2 = -17

[|John's Pay it Forward]
Part 1 Pay it Forward is a movie about a boy named Trevor, an 11 year old boy who tries to change the world by a act of kindness after an assignment by his social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet. His plan is to do something nice for three people(Gerry, Mr. Simonet and Alex). The three people should Pay it Forward to another three people of their choice and so on. At the end Trevor died since that the "Pay it Forward" movement grew really big as thousands of people paid respect to Trevor who started this movement.

Part 2 My Pay it Forward act of kindness was carrying 3 boxes of canned goods of a female stranger in Cumberland. I choose this activity cause it is easier than the other ideas that I think off. I did it last Sunday, December 19th around 10:00 am.

Part 3 It was fun and exciting cause its my first time helping a stranger in Canada. The reaction of the lady was shocking cause she was about to shout but I stopped her and I told her I told her that im paying it forward and please pass it on. And the lady just kept quite and gave her three boxes of canned goods to me to carry to her room.

Part 4 Paying it Forward is great it helps a person life to change and especially the world to make a difference in a small way. I hope this will continue until the next generation.

Sorry I forgot to take a picture of my "Pay it Forward" cause I forgot to bring my camera with me.
