Let's go Shopping

I created a google spreadsheet with the prices of a tabet computer, a 4th generation Ipod touch, computer case, Ipod case, Flip camera, and a Digital camera. The budget was $1,500 dollars and i used $1,055.63 dollars. The websites where you can find these idems are hyperlinked from the spreadsheet. You can access the spreadsheet here.

1st Trimester Reflections

1.  What is one thing that you are proud of so far this year in math?

My grade and the effort that I put in to my homework and test to get that grade. 

2.  What is one thing you wished you had done better on?

Getting my homework notebook signed.

3.  Has Algebra been a challenge for you so far this year?  If yes, please list some topics that challenged you.

Algebra has been a challenge in the fact that i am learning new things. No topic has really challenged me besides mixture problems when i was first learning them.

4.  List the topics in Algebra that you feel that you have mastered so far this year.

Multi-step equations, mixtures, dilations (and the other stuff on the graphs - transformation, reflection ect.), mappings, and representing an equation on a graph.

5.  Pick two goals for the 2nd trimester.  Then tell how you will accomplish these two goals.

I hope to get better original grades on my homework so that I can learn to be less dependent on corrections. I will accomplish this goal by spending more time on my homework. My 2nd goal is to be able to use math counts i my math homewok and regular class time. I will do this by working hard in math counts and learning all that i can to help me for later on.

Service Learning and Math

1.  What is your social issue that is being addressed in your service learning?
Their social issue is that every student in KIPP has a very high risk of being a High School drop out. KIPP helps them by giving them more work and catching them up to the average child's standards.

2.  Where do you go for service learning?

The Rankey Koinonia goes to the KIPP school and plays games and does art projects with the students because they do not have a single exploratory. We get to relate and talk to these students about sports, school, and anything else you would talk to you best friend about.

3.  How does math relate to what you are learning while doing service?

The drop out rate of the public school students verse the drop out rate at KIPP is definitely math and we also talk about school with them, therefore we sometimes talk about math.
