Michelle asked us to think about the different types of comparison statements that we have been using, and our work with rates and unit rates. During this video I answered two questions. The first one is how I found these ideas helpful. The second one is for me to make up an example comparing the two items using unit rates.
The of this piece is Olives. It is a photo realistic drawing of my eye. I created this piece of art by using a variety of different pencils and a blending stump. I used many different drawing techniques such as hatching and crosshatching. I learned many things while making this piece, such as when to hatch and when to crosshatch, and how the blending stump completely transforms your drawing. My favorite part of generating Olives is using the blending stump. It is really cool how it smooths out the line segments. If I could change something about it, it would be the highlight in the eye. It just didn’t come out the way I wanted it to. While making it I was surprised about how easy the whole process was. If I had seen the final product a year ago, I would have never had thought that I had the capability of making it. But I did, and I am proud of myself. This piece is called Olives because my name is Oliver, and olives are round like an eye.
Figures are mathematically similar when their corresponding angles are congruent and when the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. This is related to finding a scale factor. Figures are also mathematically similar when the ratios of side lengths within the figure are equivalent.
Any two rectangles are similar.
FALSE
This is false because any two rectangles could have different ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides.
Any two equilateral triangles are similar
TRUE
Since they always have three angles that are each 60 degrees, any two equilateral triangles are similar. And the sum of all of the angles is 180 degrees. So this shows that all of the corresponding angles of two equilateral triangles will always be congruent.
This is my science journal. It is important because it is where I do a lot of my science homework. I am proud of it because I have done a lot of hard work in the journal itself. For my first entry in my science journal I recorded what was in my daily meals, and showed which components of the dish were producers, consumers, or abiotic. In my second entry I did my writing for my assignment about the article talking about bringing nature back into our cities. I had to paraphrase four examples of bringing nature back into our cities from the article, and explain why they do so.
I am very proud of my Science Nature and Cities Check In because I felt like I portrayed all that I have learned about the Science curriculum so far. I feel like I did well on it, seeing that I specifically studied the individual things that I thought were going to be on the check in. I felt like I did really hard and good work in the check in, and I feel like my grade reflected that.
In out unit on colonial America, we were required to choose a topic. My topic is weapons. We then had to make a bunch of detailed note cards that eventually help us write our research paper on that topic. I wrote this topic about the magazine in Williamsburg, VA. I am very proud of this because it simply is my best note card. I worked very hard on it, and the ideas just flowed in my writing. I also am proud of it because I got a good grade on it, but I think that is just because I showed my best work and it just came on the side. I think that this is going to be very useful information when I am writing my paper and I am very excited to share it with you.
This a good example of good math notes because it is spread out throughout the page. It is also good because I explained the equation like the teacher did. I also used the graph on the paper and wrote inside of the boxes.
This is a good example of bad math notes because it is not spread out throughout the page. I did not explain the equation like the teacher did. I also did not use the graph paper and wrote outside of the boxes. The handwriting in general is very messy.
Earlier this year I wrote a page or two on chapter 4 of the book Making 13 Colonies By Joy Hakim. I believe that this is one of my stronger pieces of writing that I have written this year. I am proud of it because I spent a lot of time going through the chapter and answering the questions as thoroughly as I could that were on the page.
Earlier this year we read The Giver, and during that reading process we wrote multiple TEEAC paragraphs about an occurring theme. Mine was communism and individuality. After we finished the book we wrote an essay on our theme. I am very proud of how much work I put into this piece, and I hope the content of the essay proves that point.
As you may have been able to tell, this is a math assignment. It is an assignment checking to see if we understand the concept of figure similarity. Figure congruency is when all of the corresponding angles are the same. Figure similarity is when you apply a scale factor to the sidelengths of the new figure it becomes the original figure. The first question is asking me which figures are similar. I figured his out by stating the scale factor, but I did so unclearly and at is what Michelle noted at. She also noted at how on the last one I did not state the conditions that made the figures similar.
The next page had me draw a bunch of figured that fit certain conditions, such as a figure being similar to another but not congruent. I did these all by simply, drawing a figure that fit the conditions, just as it said as simple as that. I did this completely correct
