1: Figures are mathematically similar when their corresponding sides have a scale factor and the angles are congruent.
2: Not any two rectangles are similar because even if the corresponding angles are congruent, the figures may not have a scale factor.
3: All equilateral triangles are similar because all the corresponding angles are the same, so the triangles will have a slace factor no matter what.

When I switched to LREI in the fifth grade the environment was really different and math was the most different class compared to my old school. Math became a real struggle for me and was my worst class in fifth grade. Over the Summer, Ana gave me an eighty something page worksheet and said to do one page a day. I did that and came back the next year feeling prepared. I got good grades and made it into seminar. In the sixth grade I started to enjoy math instead of dreading it. I especially loved geometry. From always getting 1’s and 2’s in the fifth grade, I think I’m pretty good at math considering where I am at now. When I do my homework, I like to take 10 to 15 minute intervals so that it’s not so much at one. I take about a five minute break and then do more of the homework. When I get stuck, i put down my pencil, and just think. Nothing else. I just think until i have even a seed of the answer. That is all I have to say about me and math.

It’s very important to keep you notebook organized. Not only is it helpful for you, but for other people to be able to read your work. Now I’m starting to be more organized and finding that it’s much quicker and efficient. By the end of the year I know I’ll be even neater.
My number is less than 300.
It’s a factor of 1,200.
When you count by 100, you get my number.
When you count by 25, you get my number.
I noticed that most of the ones in “B” were nearly identical.
I noticed only one was put in “A”.
I noticed every single one in “C” was different.
I think all the graphs whose dots aren’t connected should be connected.
Some should be a little more accurate with the time.
