Parallelograms

Hey,

When we were working on our pallelegrams qestions in smart notebook. I thought that the qestions were easy because we only had to meausure the height and base and then we would times them, to find out our answer. If we have an iregrelar polygram if it is on graph paper, then you add up all the squares, and if there is half squares you have to find a match and make a whole square. Then after you have found all half squares you add everything up.

Find the Missing measerment

Hey,

We had to find the missing measerment to the triangle. One side was 41mm and the other side was 5cm. Since we had to find in mm and cm i first converted 41mm to 4.1cm. Then i converted 5cm so 50mm. Now since we know the total perimeter of the triangle is 16 cm we can the add up both measurments we already have and subtract them from 16. I did 5+4.1=9.1, then i subtracted 9.1 from 16(16-9.1=6.9) So the missing side of the triangle is 6.9 cm and 69mm. So that is found out the missing measerment.

Math Respond

Hey, In math we had a question and we had to answer which one we found the easiest. I thought that Owens was easiest because it took the least amout of steps to complete, and it was faster.

My Journal

I have learned that you don't have to measure all the sides to get the perimeter of a shape. You can measure one of two and line them up or if they are the same size as the one parallel to it, then you can just times whatever you got by 2. That would let you get the perimeter for the object you are doing

Patterning

The post I am doing is on math. In the last few classes we have been working on patterning. Most of the time I understood everything, but sometimes I got stuck, and had to ask for advice/help. I think that this was a col unit in math, and i liked haveing to find out rules to find the answer. To find a rule you must look at all the numbers and problems and try to find a way to solve them, like a,b,g,h, and what comes next. There is more than one answer for it because you could count the spaces between each letter and just keep counting to find the next number/leter. You could also go: a,b,g,h, and continue so it would look like this: a,b,g,h,a,b,g,h, and just keep that going. Once you know how to do patterning it is fairly easy to do it. So if you know how to find a rule then you know how to find a pattern and if you know how to keep that pattern continueing then you know what comes next. So thats what i have learned during pattering, and im still learning more! I think i did good in patterning.
