Figures are mathematically similar if they share a scale factor or if there is a ratio between them.
Any two rectangles are similar?
False, If there is a 1×2 and a 1×3 then

on Where my story begins is far before 7th grade… well not that far.
My first disaster was in fourth grade, I was being quizzed on multiplication, the sheet was barely colored in which meant I did not know my stuff. Everybody was passing before you could say “supercalifragilistic”. But I was different, by the time you are done singing the national anthem I was half way through. Then 5th grade came up to bat. I sat in math class wondering how I was gonna go through this. Dont get me wrong, Ana is a marvelous teacher but I was a lousy student. Luckily, (or not) the year went quick and 6th grade wanting a piece of me too (Great ? ). Let’s be honest here, Margaret scared the beejezuz out of me every math class. The worst moment I remember is when Margaret said, “INI, MINI, MINY… KAYA”, and yes that happened, my reaction in my head was sort of like, “OH MY GAWD, WHAT?!, WAS THAT MY NAME?!!!!!!! ? ? “. Even though Margaret scared me to death, I still think she was a pretty fantabulous teacher. After that I washed up onto the shore of 7th grade island.
Math: How I solve the Problem
on Problem #1: 40 = 20% x ?
- 20 ÷ 40 =
- 20 ÷ 40 = 200
Problem #2: 8.5 x $500.00 = ?
- 500 x 8.5 =
- 500 x 8.5 = 42.5
Problem #3: 18 = ?% x 150 ?
- 150 ÷ 18 =
- 150 ÷ 18 = 83 . 3%
Problem #1:
Addison and Tom go to the pet store, there are 40 pets on display, they ask the employee how many there are but he does not know and on,y says the 40 pets are only 20% of how many they have. How will Addison and Tom figure it out?
Problem #2:
Marie asks her mom how much a laptop is. Her mom says multiply $500.00 by 8.5. How will Marie figure it out?
Problem#3:
Ally is in math class and the problem on the board is 18 = 8.33% x 150. How will Ally figure it out?
Xtramath Score
on 
I like working on Xtramath on a device where you dont have to type. I rather press the numbers with my fingers so that I dont press the wrong thing. It is really hard to type in the numbers on a computer or click the answers.
Math Improvement
on 
This is my neat page because it is compact and also obviously neat. I worked my way up to this by focusing on the way I read the problem. I formatted it this way because, like a book I like to read it up to down and that is why I like this format.
This is unorganized because it is all over the place and you cannot read it from top to bottom.

Stella and Kaya’s Tessellation
on This is our tessellation. I had a lot of fun doing this project because it did not really feel like math even though it was basically all problem solving. I cannot really put my finger on it, but I just really liked this lesson. One of the things i liked about this was that there was not just one right answer like in addition, multiplication, and subtraction. I felt the creative and artistic blend that gave me like a good feeling while I was doing this, so I think it turned out to be a very positive lesson.
Board of Graphs
on 
B has different graphs and the one on top matches the one on the bottom I am not sure about. C has a lot of graphs compared to B. A has two of the same graphs and one different.
Story A. had 3 graphs
Story B. had 2 graphs
Story C. had 5 graphs
