Math Recap Unit Rates and Comparison Statements
https://app.letsrecap.com/public/r/f0da9333dad1afcec538b9a1ebfe8517
We were asked to think about the different types of comparison statements we’ve been writing and our work with rates and unit rates. In this video I’ve addressed 2 questions: 1) HOW have you found these ideas helpful. 2) Make up an example comparing two items using unit rates.
Mathematical Similarity Summary
Figures are mathematically similar when the corresponding sides of a rectangle can be related by a scale factor or have congruent angles for a triangle. They are also similar when they can be simplified into the same ratio.
TRUE or FALSE
Any two rectangles are similar. False: For two rectangles to be similar they must have a scale factor for the side lengths to match up. Or they must have to both simplify to the same ratio.These two rectangles have a scale factor of 1.5 for them to be similar- Any two equilateral triangles are similar. True: This is true because even if they are a different size, all of their angles are congruent. For a triangle to be similar they must have congruent angles to each other.
These are both equilateral triangles, and they are similar
Good Notetaking vs Bad Notetaking
The picture to the left is a picture of good Notetaking. This is good Notetaking because everything is organized, and you can see the strategies and thinking clearly. If I flipped to this page I could easily see what was going on and I could understand everything that I wrote down.
The picture to the right is a picture of bad Notetaking. This is bad Notetaking because it is messy and you can’t easily understand what is going on. There are also two different math problems in one page. There is a line dividing both of them, but it could be possible not to know that the line differenciates two different problems.
Math Check-up 2
In math we are learning about similarity in shapes. In the first picture I wrote which shapes were similar and why. In the second picture I wrote answers to the questions on the sheet. It was mostly about making shapes similar to the shapes on the sheet, and making non similar shapes and explaining. 
Math Problems
26) 40=20% of _____
40=20%X_____
40 ÷.2=200
Story Problem- I picked 40 apples from the tree, 40 equals 20% of the apples on the tree. What is the amount of apples on the tree?
27) 8 1/2% of 500=____
.085 X 500=42.5
Story Problem- Olivia had 8 1/2% of the cupcakes to bring to the party, in total there were 500 chocolaty delicious cupcakes. How much is 81/2% of them?
28) 18=___% of 150
18=___%X 150
18 ÷ 150=12%
Story Problem- Tilda has 150 bottles of ketchup, Stella borrowed 18 bottles of them. What percent of the bottles of ketchup did Stella have?
Take Home Test
These are my grades of my take home test. I am pretty proud of what I did. I feel like I got better at understanding fractions and knowing how to fix wrong problems. I also feel like I can get better at explaining why a problem works or explaining how common denominators work. But over all I think that I did well!
Pop Quiz
This is a picture of my pop quiz. I think I did well on this one. I was proud because I thought that I wasn’t really good at fractions and math overall. After I got my grades, I’ve been trying to work harder and harder, even though sometimes I don’t do well. I will try to get even better by practicing fractions on the sheet that Margaret gave us. I will also do xtra math do get better at my multiplication facts because when you use fraction division and multiplication, I will need to know my facts.
Xtra Math Report
This is my report of Xtra math. At the beginning of xtra math, I would be really slow and the products didn’t come to my mind very fast. But then after a few days of trying I got better and multiplication facts are easier to remember! Sometimes it’s a little disappointing when I don’t pass because I tried so hard and then I didn’t pass, but the next day I try even harder.
Math Notebook Before and After
Before
After
These two pictures are a before and after picture. The before is when all my problems were clumped together and I couldn’t see the space in between each problem. The after is when everything was more clear and there was space in between each problem. It’s important to have neat work because if I need to look back at my work I can understand and see where my work is.
