Term 1 Reflection
In the first unit we learned about ratios, rate. and proportional reasoning. There are four links of ratios. One of them is a part to part ratio which compares different parts of a group to each other. Another type of ratio is a part to whole ratio which compares one part of a group to the whole group. A part to whole ratio can be written as a fraction, decimal, and a percent. There is also a two term ratio which compares two quantities measured in the same units. The last type of ratio is the three term ratio which compares three quantities measured in the same units. We learned about rates too and there are two types but first a rate is when you compare two quantities measured in different units. One type of rate is a unit rate in which the second term is one. The second type is a unit price which is used when shopping. The last thing we learned in the first unit is proportional reasoning. Proportional reasoning is a relationship the says that two ratios or two rates are equal. In the second unit we learned about square roots and square numbers and Pythagoras. Square roots are the inverse of squaring and to find the square root we usually used a calculator by pressing the square root button. A square number is the product of the same two numbers. It also known as a perfect square and a number that is not perfect is called a non-perfect square. The last thing we learned in the second unit and the first term is Pythagorean relationship. The Pythagorean relationship can be used to determine the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle when the lengths of the two legs are shown. In the first term we weren’t given much homework. The things we did in this term was the Sesame Street Video, math profile, scribes, homework book, and textbook work. There weren’t much to do in those things. Doing the Sesame Street video was pretty fun and my partner was Julibella Tanafranca. For the Math profile we had to write what we felt about math. The scribe posts were assigned to people to show what we did that day. The homework book and textbook we just did at home and had to finish it. In term two I would like to do better in math by asking questions when I need help. I should also talk more and try to do better on tests and quizzes. I would also take my time when I take my tests and quizzes because I might read it wrong and answer it wrong. So next time I should read the problem and question more carefully. One example of my work is the [|__scribe__]  I did on the answers in the textbook work. I also want to show you my [|__Sesame Street Video__] .

Term 2 Reflection
In term 2 we had 3 units and they were percents, surface area, and volume. I thought I did well on surface area and volume because I got perfect on all my tests and quizzes or at least almost all correct. I thought it was pretty easy because it was just plain adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing using different formulas. I struggled in remembering all the formulas because there are a lot. One main thing I have to work on next term and in all my classes is to talk more. All comments that I had to work on from the teachers was to talk more in class. I hope I will have the courage to talk more in class.

 In percents I learned many things. I learned how to convert fractions to decimals to percents and it can go in any order. I learned percents are out of 100 and you can represent percents on 100 grids. To represent a fraction percent, we had to shade part of one square. We can use mental math in finding out percents in numbers and also using ratio tables. You can also combine percents by adding to solve problems.

 In surface area I also learned many things. I learned that there are formulas on finding the surface area. For rectangular prisms the formula is l x w. A rectangular prism has six faces and the opposite sides are equal. For a triangular prism the formula is b x h/2 then l x w. A triangular prism has 5 faces, 2 triangles, and 3 rectangles. For a cylinder there are many formulas. You can find the diameter, radius or circumference. The easiest formula for me to use is (2 pi x r x r) + (2 x r x pi x h) = TSA.

 In volume I also learned many things. I learned that there are also formulas to finding out the volume. When they already give you the base and height, you can just use the formula, Area of base x height. If they don’t give you the base, there are formulas for each object to find the volume. For a rectangular prism, it’s v=l x w x h. For a triangular prism, the formulas is v=b x h (height of triangle) / 2 X height (height of prism). For a cube, the formula is v=s x s x s and the formula for a cylinder is v=pi x r x r x h. The difference with volume and surface area is that volume is how much area it holds and a surface area is the area on the outside.

The Man Who Planted Trees
1. (2) What opportunities and threats are faced by Canada’s forest and woodlands?  Some opportunities and threats that Canada’s forest and woodlands face are the cutting down of the trees and deforestation.

2. (3) How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to you, to the school and to the local community? <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;"> The Man Who Planted Trees can relate to us because we try to keep our world and beautiful place by picking up garbage and planting trees. It can relate to me because I planted a tree once in my home in the Philippines. It can relate to my school, Sargent Park, because we recycle, we planted trees around the school once and I remember we sometimes pick up garbage on the streets around us. It can relate to the local community because we try to use different resources like solar power instead of burning fossil fuels.

(5) What motivates people and organizations in their approach to the environment? Consider the following factors: money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards? What limits their ability to be “green”? <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;"> Money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards motivates people and organizations because they feel it’s an accomplishment to what they have done. The limits that their ability to be “green” are the things they can’t control like weather.
