 * I am good at working on whatever Im working on until I understand how to do it
 * I am also good at explaining how to do things to others
 * **Two things I need to improve on are:**
 * I need to improve on doing my homework, often I don't do my work and then I fall behind on blog or in the textbook
 * This is one which I have already started on, improving my test scores, last term I didn't do so well on tests and didn't get as good a mark as I had hoped
 * **My goals for the next 6 weeks of school are:**
 * My goal for the next six weeks is to not fall behind, I am missing a week of school and really hope it doesn't hit me to bad when I get back because I am very scared for the math exam this year.

Term 1 Reflection
In term 1 I learned about:

Rate- Compares 2 quantities measured in different units. eg. 72 bets per minute or 72/1min. Ratio- Compares quantities measured in the same units. eg. aaaabbbb = :1 ratio because for every “a” there is a “b” to go with it. Proportion- a relatioinship that says two ratios or two rates are equal. eg. how much will 12 erasers cost if 3 cost 75$? erasers = 12 because 75x3=300$ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">3 3 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This part was not very hard for me.which I found surprising because usually at the begging of the unit its easy but there is always a catch of something hard or confusing that comes in the middle. No wait actually I did have minor problems with proportion but I figured it out.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Pythagoris- a2+b2+c2, c2-a2=b2, c2-b2=a2 this unit had a lot to with triangles. The 2 smaller sides of the triangle are called legs. If these two sides make up a right angle then it is a right triangle. across from the right angle you should have one more side hence the term <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">//TRI// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">angle (tri meaning 3) anyway the side across from that is called the hypotenuse. This side is always the biggest. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">eg. lets say I had a triangle leg a- 4cm, side b- 6cm, side c-? So following the pythagoris relationship a2=b2 must equal c2. 4cm+6cm=c2 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4x4 + 6x6 =c2 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">4x4=16cm 6x6=36 m <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">6cm+36cm=52cm <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">52cm squared=7.2cm <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">So side c=7.2cm <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This unit was also surprisingly easy for me. I had no problems understanding anything which is kind of a shocker for me because in grade 7 I didn’t get 50% of the things I was taught in class and always had to go back for help later.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I will try to do all my homework this term and yes that means all the textbook pages that are assigned. I also hope to do better on the tests every week. That means studying all my notes so I am very sure how to answer every question.

Proportion, Ratio and Rate

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">Term 2 reflection
<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I think I did well on surface area, it was by far my best unit out of the 3. This term was harder than the previous. Mostly because of the units we did. Decimals and percent were pretty confusing for me. I didn't really understand until the end of the unit. That didn’t do me any good because after I found out how to do it right we were onto another confusing unit. Well this unit actually wasn't as confusing, surface area is basically just memorizing formulas. So I did farely decent on that unit. I had a little trouble with volume thought but I eventually figured it out. Blogging was kind of hard for me. You see I don't really excel in the use of computers thought Mrs. Wilson calls us techno babies. I also eventually git my blog work done as well. I learned from this term that I need to pay more attention and work even harder that I am in math to get a grade satisfactory to my standards. This is what I am hopefully going to achieve in term 3. =LA=

2. What opportunities and threats are faced Canada’s forest and woodlands? Answer: Some of the opportunities that Canada’s forest and woodlands are that they can be cut down for lumber, paper and other neceities of humans. Some of the threats that Canada’s forest and woodlands face are endangerment of wildlife due to clear cutting and the machines used to do it make so much pollution it can be very damaging to the enviroment.

3. How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to you, to the school and to the local community? Answer: The Man Who Planted Trees relates to me because I love to take care of the enviorment and plant gardens in the spring. It relates to the school because we waste paper and pencils constantly, which causes more forests to be clear cut. It relates to the whole community because we all need to make the decision to be greener

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; vertical-align: baseline;">5. What motivates people and organizations in their approach to the enviroment? Consider the following factors: money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards? What limits their ability to be “green”? People and organizations are motivated by things such as money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards and so they approach the environment and take advantage of it at times. Their ability to be green is limited because they are greedy and think only of them selves and don’t care even a bit about the environment.

Trees affect climate at a global level because it transform our waste, carbon dioxide into something useful, clean oxygen for us to breath better.
