Pre algebra is my 4th period class. My teacher for pre algebra is Mr.Dorman. Pre algebra is not one of my favorite subjects, because there's to much solving to do sometimes.
In pre-algebra we have been working on many different things. Some of the things we have been working on are tasks, and fun projects. One of the projects we have done was the gummy bear project. In this project we had to figure out how many regular bears it would take to make one super bear. What I learned from this project was how many regular sized gummy bears it would take to make a super bear. I chose to talk about this project because I thought that it was fun, interesting, and also good to talk about.
In pre-algebra we one of the things we did was having to watch Wheel of Fortune. Once we were done watching it we had to graph how many times it landed on any of the options that their was on the wheel. We also had to predict what was the bigger chance of getting something than an other. I really enjoyed this assignment because I think that it was fun getting to watch this while doing homework .
In third quarter we did a task on the statue of liberty. In this task we had to figure out how many feet tall the statue of liberty is. We also measured the hands, and the crown. With all the information that we collected we got to figure out how long the statue is. Before all this we had to measure our own height and double our height to the one of the statue. I enjoyed this task because it gave me knowledge of how much taller the statue would be If I were to stand next to it.
This semester in pre algebra we made our own tessellation. The way we made our tessellations was by making one single shape and making it connect with the other pieces as well. While I was making my tessellation I had some difficulties making the shape connect to the others because I didn't know what way to make them connect. Making this tessellation took me one day to complete the whole thing. First, I finished making all the shapes, and connecting them. Then, I just colored the whole thing in. I really liked how my tessellation came out. I really enjoyed this because it was fun to make.
