toc =Math= Two things I did well is multiplying integers and dividing integers in math. I found it really easy to understand. Another thing I am good at is the 3 point approach from science. I would usally take notes on what mr. Potter says about the definition. Two things I need to improve on is the EXPLORE responses in L.A. I need to work on giving examples when i write my response. ANother thing I need to improve on is multiplying and dividing fractions. I need to understand it more and get ready for exams. My goals for the next 6 weeks are to get high marks and to finish off our 2 minutes project. I would also like to do better in french class, so I am ready for the exams.

Term 1 Reflection What I learned in term 1 is ratio, rate, and proportion. There are four types of ratios, Two term ratios, three term ratios, part to part ratios, and part to whole ratios.There are unit rates and unit prices. Proportion has a relationship that says that two ratios or two rates are equal.I also learned square numbers and square roots. square numbers are the product of two numbers that are the same. Square roots are numbers that when multiplied by the same number, it equals a whole number.The last thing I learned in this term was the pythagoras relationship. it is using squares to determine a length of the triangle. Yes I did do all my work.Somethings I would like to do next term and throughout the year would be to study more often, so I can do better on my tests and find a better seat when i’m in class. I would also like to do more blogs.

Term 2 reflection
What I did well on this term was volume, I found it very easy to understand and I did good on the tests. I did most of the homework that was given. I struggled on some of the homework, because I was lazy at some points and sometimes didn’t understand things. I would like to to better next term by studying on the tests and doing the homework. I would also like to use my time effectively. What I learned about percents were how to find the percent of a fraction and decimal. What I learned about surface area was base multiplied by height divided by two for a triangular prism. Length multiplied by width for rectangular prisms, and pie multiplied by radius squared for a cylinder. For volume, we took the same formulas but we multiply a height as well.

Integers
What I did wrong on the integer test was -10+(-12)-9 what I did: -10+(-12)-9 12-9 =3 The answer [-10+(-12)-]9 12+9 =31 -6-3x2 What I did: -6-[3x2] -6-6 =0 The answer -6[-3x2] -6-6 =-12 my [|Integer post] =Language Arts=

Iqbal Chapter1

The first chapter in __Iqbal__ written by Fanceso D’Adamo talks about a girl named Fatima who works along side some other children in a carpet factory, on the outskirts of Lahore, Pakistan. The factory is owned by Hussain Khan. The chapter explains the children’s daily routine. The children work to pay off family debts. They earn a rupee at the end of each day. This chapter is important because it tells us the chapters and setting. The book is realistic fiction. The authors purpose for writing this is for the readers to understand child labour and why it is an important issue in the world to fix. Our purpose for reading the book is to know about child labour and to make a difference. The purpose of chapter 1 is to introduce the story, characters, setting, and why the children are working for Hussain Khan. Some key lines worth remembering are “that is, until Iqbal arrived”(pg.8) and “I never saw a clean slate, neither mine or my companions”(pg.5) These are important because the first one left the readers hanging, wanting to know why things changed when Iqbal arrived and Why no one has ever seen a clean slate. Key names in the story are Hussain Khan ( who is the master/owner of the carpet factory ), Fatima ( the narrator and a worker in the factory ), Iqbal ( new to the factory ), and Numskulls(kids who make mistakes, wrong colour pattern, cry about blisters and work too slow ). These characters of the book. Some of the important places are Lahore, Pakistan and carpet factory. Lahore is the city in Pakistan. It is also where the carpet factory is located. Relations I had to the book were when the kids worked making rugs for money. It reminded me of when I did chores around the house for money. Another relation I had to the book is that the kids work to pay off debts. It is just like my parents work to pay bills and debts like mortgage. My evaluations on my ah-ha moments are, how much money do the kids work for? The answer is that the kids work for a rupee a day. Another ah-ha moment is my question. How did Fatima end up working for Hussain Khan? My connection to the book is that in grade 6, my class got divided into groups and my group learned about child labour.

Some of my big questions were how does air pollution affect us?, what can we do to stop airpollution? and what are the negatives of air pollution? Some key points I researched were the effects of air pollution, what can we do to reduce air pollution, and how air pollution started. The project is due May 20, 2011.
