On the front side of the assignment we had to find which shapes were similar. We also had to show how we knew. I solved this problem by finding the scale factor between each shape.

For the back side we had to make shapes that were similar to the rectangle but not congruent and draw a rectangle not similar. We also had to draw a figure similar to the triangle but not congruent. And we had to draw a triangle that was not similar. For the questions were it said draw a shape similar but not congruent I just made a shape twice the size. I made it twice the size because if it is twice the size it is not congruent because it is not the exact same but it is still similar. It is not congruent because it is not the exact same shape. For the shapes that were not similar I just drew a shape that the side lengths were not related at all.

The photo on the left is the better notes of the two because it is it very organized, spread out, and it has a drawing that is visible and clear.

The Next Photo is not great notes. I think it is bad notes because it is not spaced out, not clear, messy and it has a couple of doodles on it.

I think our group very well together we were all on the same page and we all worked pretty efficiently. We finished our skit right at the right time and we felt good about it when we were done, we never really felt rushed. I think our performance as a group was pretty good because we worked together and we got it done and with quality. I think sometimes I got a little unfocused but my group always helped me get focused. I would defiantly work with this group again. I think we can improve by sitting not right next to our friends, planning out the project before we do it, and I think we could reherse the accutal skit a little more.

Last year was hard but rewarding. I feel like last year we covered so much. In fourth grade I remember math was so easy but middle school is a whole new beast. I like learning math because whenever you learn how to do a unit it feels so rewarding. It also helps you when you’re outside of school. I dislike that it makes me stressed. The time I get stressed most is when I am doing homework and it’s late and I am stuck on a problem. Also I dislike it when I feel behind in math. I usually feel behind because I am not very fast with math or I’m not very focused. I think I am not the best at math but I am ready to excel. My routine when I study is to first, look at the type of problem and do the easiest problems and then, work up to the hardest problems. If I get stuck, the first thing I do is check over the problem for careless mistakes then, if their are no careless mistakes, I will do the problem over. If I get stressed out I can take a break, or work on something else, or just read and come back to the problem. I am excited for this year and I will try my hardest in everything we do.  

The technique I am using is called hatching. Hatching is a bunch of parallel lines that can make texture in your picture. the purpose of hatching is to create texture in your drawing. I think hatching is a very useful way to get texture and shade in your picture. The use of hatching allows for light and dark shading. Hatching is one of my favorite ways to get texture in my drawing but I think stipple is my favorite. Stipple is a another way to show texture. You show the texture by dots on the page. you can get different effects on your drawing by using a different amount of dots.
