Mathematical Similarity
Any two rectangles similar
False they are not all similar because they may all have congruent angle but they are not similar for example a rectangle 2 by 4 and 4 by 8 are but 9 by 3 is not similar.
The Scale factor for 9 by 3 and 2 by 4 is 2.25 but that does not match with 1.5
9/4=2.25 3/2=1.5
The Scale factor for 4 by 8 and 2 by 4 are both 2
4/2=2 8/4 = 2
Another thing is they most have the same general shape
all rectangles are not the same general shape
Any two equilateral triangle are similar
True because they fit all the rules the corresponding angles are congruent because equilateral triangle must have a 60 degree angles
all the scale factors are the same they can change to because the equilateral triangles can change to be the same
Summer books
#1
White Fang by Jack London:
#2
Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit
My notes:
- I love how the first sentence is, “It was a dark and stormy night.” I wonder if that is where it started.
- Charles is Meg’s safety net. I think Charles is a very interesting character because he is young and he is one of the wisest in the family.
- Mrs. Whatsit is probably magical and she is going to take them on a journey.
- I think it is weird that Calvin became freinds right after they meet.
- I think that the dad may be dead
- I wonder if the mom is going to wonder where they went.
- I didn’t expect the they would go into space I thought they were goona travel in time
- I think that the happy medium feels bad for the kids
- I think that the journry there was harder than than geeting their father
- think the the Mrs. W’s wanted to teach the kids on this adventure and not only get thier father back.
- I think that Meg is going to do better in school after this.
- I think the ending left you on a cliffhanger but it was still happy a happy ending
- I wonder if the next book is going to be another family and Mrs. Whatsit is going to be there wtih her freinds.
Structure fits Function
This is a picture of a human bone and an eagle bone as you can tell our bone is completely filled in unlike the bird bone.The bird bone is hollow allowing the bird to fly.
What is the difference between bird bones and human bones? Have you ever wondered how the shape of a bone can affect the function? Did you think it did not make a difference? If so then you are wrong. The shape of bird bones and human bones are very important because humans and birds are very different and the bones have to work as an advantage for those differences, For Example:
A bird’s bone is hollow for a lot of reasons, such as:
The bird needs to have a limited amount of weight so it can fly, if the bone wasn’t hollow it wouldn’t be able to fly. Flying benefits the bird for many different reasons. One of them is that they don’t have to worry about the land predators as much as the air predators. Smaller birds fly away fast and attack the predator if it is going for the nest.
The bird bone has long bar shapes called trabeculae which will keep the bone from breaking in flight. This design helps fit the function because the trabeculae is almost like string, and it is also small so there is not a lot of weight.
The bird bone is hollow but human bones are not. The outside layer is dense, a tough outer layer. The next layer is spongy bone and after that is marrow. That combination makes human bones. Our bones aren’t only for holding us up though, our bones do many things. Our bones are used for storage of blood cells, and fatty acids. Our bones also help us move. And they help protect some of our internal organs, like our ribs help protect our heart.
Geometric Pattern
I am am proud of this because of my pattern. I can work on this by doing cleaner cuts.
Illuminated letter
I am proud of this because I like the fruit I drew. I can work on this by making the whole over all drawing less sloppy.
Fabric College
I Am proud of This design. I could work on making this college better by making it more medieval.
Style Composition
I choose bebop because I wanted to do something other then jazz, but it would still be a little different. It was fun to research because I got to learn a lot more about jazz and bebop. I discovered Charlie Parker help create bebop. I also learned the walking base part, which was really hard for me to understand. Also I learned about the 2-5-1 chord progression. I also learn about how fast beat bebop is. I think that i have been behind a lot because I been in a block, but I am slowly catching up.
Science In Our Diet
Before
After
I notice that our diet is not how it should be. A lot of us are eating to much grain even though it it can be helpful. I learned that having a lot of protein is bad for you. I now know what to eat during lunch to be healthy. Our fruit went up and so did dairy. Sadly grain stayed the same, that is bad because we are having too much. Veggies went down and so did protein. We needed to eat more veggies but we ate less. We are eating the perfect amount of protein.
Who The Heck Are You?
Start-
During humanities we work on a project called Who The Heck Are You? First we had to pick a person to interview. I picked Xin because he lived in China, but I also wanted to interview Ana, Dave, and Julia.
Letter-
Next we wrote a letter the to the person we picked. I feel like the letter I wrote was good with punctuation because I have been practicing. We wrote about when we could do the interview and why we wanted to interview them. Xin said he could do the interview to me which was exciting, but it was during my basketball team meeting. In the end though, it all worked out .
Interview-
We then did an interview, we did it during luning lunch. I asked him a few question about when he moved to the U.S. because most people have never been an immigrant. This was fantastic to learn about because I don’t know much about China, So getting to ask him whatever I want was a fun moment. Here Are some of the questions I asked:
what was it like traveling to the united states ?
When you were a kid, what entertained you ?
what was school like for you as a kid?
what is your family like ?
what was your dream job as a kid?
why did you become a teacher?
do you prefer America and why?
did you do something before this job?
what is your favorite thing to do today ?
where have you traveled to, other than china and america?
Step 2
Once we had all the information we drafted it all. I put it in the order that I wanted to. we were supposed to find a grabber statement, which was the first thing I did.This helped me because I was confused about how to put my information in order and this helped me format the middle, beginning, and end.
Final
When we finished step 2, we took our organized information and turned it into paragraphs. This process was really difficult but I got through. I learned about Xin and the connections I didn’t know I had with him. I can’t wait for our next project where I will get more connections. My Who The Are You:
Pizza (China) and Pasta (U.S.) by, Emily
Have you ever met a person that grew up in China? Well, if you have, did you interview them? I walked into the World Language Room during lunch. I had it all planned out. I was here to learn about the two different lives Xin has lived in. “When I came here I was on a student visa because it was graduate school that brought me here in the first place.” Xin had come for education, but what made him decide to live in the U.S.? Maybe it was because the first thing he saw was the Statue Of Liberty. Or was it because he liked LREI so much he decided to stay? There are many reasons.
As a kid in China, Xin grew up as an only child. He lived with his grandparents until he was nine because his parents were divorced. Despite this, his father would come for dinner every night . On the other hand, Xin and his mom had an unusual relationship because of their lack of bonding. It wasn’t until high school that they got to bond. Because Xin was an only child, he had to entertain himself. He liked to sing, watch cartoons, play with his friends, and read.
Xin had big dreams as a young kid. First, he wanted to be a doctor. He would make tools, like a stethoscope, out of wood and paper. Also, he made scrubs to wear. After that, he gave up trying to be a doctor and decided to try to be a lawyer. Xin would take his grandmother’s documents and pretend it was for a court case. Eventually, he got bored of that and brought out a guitar. He wanted to be a ROCKSTAR!
In the back of his mind he thought, “ I always thought I could be a teacher.” He was told by his parents to write characters on the ground with chalk, so he decided to turn it into a little game. He would be a teacher and the kid and he would teach himself. That makes me think if someone thought they could be something might be it. Also what if someone hated being a teacher and then they were a teacher.
Xin today is very similar to when he was younger. He still likes to sing and he still teaches. I wonder if that is why he liked the lip singing competition we had came up with in advisory. Xin know reflects his younger self all the time because he visits China a lot. One question though that I had is if Xin prefers China or Pasta and he said,“I think they are just different. Right, sometimes it’s like food sometimes you feel like pizza sometimes you feel like pasta. but if you had to pick one it’s kind of hard maybe today you feel like pizza you would pick pizza but tomorrow you would miss pasta.” So it turns out his home are different but equally marvelous.
Now we know the two lives of Xin. I am glad I interviewed someone so interesting . next time I hope that I will get more interesting stuff to share. At least we know him more and we know what questions to ask to get more juicy facts, and maybe one day I will get interview people from all around the world.
