I felt really strong with finding the area of a triangle. My process of finding the area of a triangle is I make the triangle into a square and then I multiply the base x height and split the number in half and then that is your answer. I felt confident with this because right when Robin explained it, I got it right away and that felt good. I had a lot of practice with this, so I felt great about my work.
My docent talk at the Brooklyn Museum
My topic was : Role of Animals
My experience of giving my docent talk at The Brooklyn Museum was really fun. I felt great because everyone in my group listened and gave me a lot of complements. Another thing they did was at the end of my talk everyone in my group had at least three facts written down. That made me feel great. One thing I learned about note-taking is that you have to put the book down or else you would copy the author’s sentences, which is not okay. Another thing is that there is so much information in one paragraph that you need to take the best information. When it comes to taking notes, I used to write in full sentences but now I find the best information and put that down instead of the whole sentence. One thing that is still challenging for me about note taking is coping down other people’s notes.
Textures
This is a texture painting that I made I glued my texture that I made on a piece of paper. I learned what is a texture. A texture is whatever you want it can be visual or physical. I like psychical because you can feel the texture which can feel funny. This is my best work because it took me 4 classes to get it done. There is no white spaces when you turn it over and look at it in the sun. It was really fun to make.
Zoetrope art post
This is a picture of my Zoetrope. It is drawings that go around in a circle. I learned how to use pencil techniques. It is hard but I am trying. This is some of my best work but some of it is not. I rushed through it a little but I was focused on most of the parts. It was really fun making that zoetrope.
Math Post
I am proud of the work I put into this quiz. I spent a lot of time on it. I got most of the problems right. I was challenged by the top one on the second paper. It was hard because it was asking me a problem that was not clear. Also the solution was a lot of writing. If I got one number wrong it would mess up the whole answer. If I had more time, I think a quicker way of doing the problem would be using prime factorization. I have improved on prime factorization. I am proud of my improvement in math. I got a two on clarity for my first quiz, and now I got a three. So that is great. Something that I still need to work on is my common factors and multiples. Instead of adding numbers together over and over again, now I can use factors. I think with a little more practice I can be awesome at math.

Build an atom
Parts of an atom are electrons,protons and neutrons. How they are arranged is random they can cluster together to make an galaxy or a star. Some of the atoms just go off on their own and not cluster with any other atoms. So they are called an atom. What atoms do is they help space to have planets and stars and they made us because they made this planet. So that is an atom.
Big Bang
What was accurate about my project is a lot of things did come out of the bib bang. What was inaccurate was it was smaller then an atom to bigger then a galaxy in a tenth of a second.
