Personal Reflection: During this school year, I've learned so many things from every subject. My class and I did a lot of assignments such as the Explore Response for LA, and the Pop Can Experiment for Science. Two things I am good at are math and science. In math I understand the steps to solving different kinds of problems, and the information Mr. Potter gives is easy for me to remember. Two things I need to improve on are writing EXPLORE responses, and understanding different kinds of words in French. My goals for the next 6 weeks are to focus more in school because of exams, and to ask more questions to further my understanding.

Term 1 Reflection
Term 1 wasn’t hard, but it wasn’t easy either. The problems made me think and some were really difficult. During September and half of October, we learned about ratios, rates and proportions. Ratios compare 2 or more quantities measured in the same units, such as blue to red. Rates compare 2 quantities measured in different units. A real life example would be the cost of candy for 100 grams. It would be written as $/ 100g of candy. A proportion is a relationship that says two rates are equal. An example would be 4/10 = ⅖. To end this unit, we were assigned to make a Sesame Street video with a partner. I chose Diorella to be my partner and we used teddy bears to narrate the information. We had a lot of fun!

After the first unit, we learned about square roots and square numbers. A square root is a number when multiplied itself is given a value. For example, the square root of 16 is 4 because 4x4 is 16. A square number is the product of the same two numbers. For example, the square number of 25 is 5 because 5x5 = 25. Another thing we learned this unit is Pythagoras relationships which is based on right triangles. Sides that make up the right triangle are called the legs and are labeled A and B. Side C, also called the hypotenuse is always located opposite of the right angle. It will also be the longest side of the triangle. To end this unit, we will be making a Phineas and Ferb video very soon.

I really liked this term because it made my brain think a lot. Though I made many mistakes, I was able to learn from it. Also, term 1 is a learning process for me. I am a really shy person, so hopefully by the next 3 terms I’ll be able to open up my ideas more. For term 2, I would like to participate more in class and answer ALL of the questions from the textbook, even if it’s hard. I wish to learn many more during this year in grade 8!

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Term 2 Reflection
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hi, my name is Marie Domingo and I’m here to talk about my term 2 reflection. I did well on the percent unit because it was the easiest for me. The percent problems took me at least 2 minutes to finish each. I understood it so fast! Also, I perfected most of my tests and quizzes. One thing I struggled with at first were making nets for prisms and cylinders. Even if Mr. Harbeck taught us how to draw them, it still confused me. But by lots of practice, I was able to draw nets more quickly and accurately. Next term, I will try to ask more questions and further my answers. Also, I want to perfect all my tests and quizzes.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In term 2, we learned about getting the percent of numbers and how to solve percent word problems. One method I really liked was using t-charts. Also, we converted fractions, decimals, and percents. I didn’t understand how to convert them at first, but after a while I was able to get it.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another unit we focused on was surface area. All 3D objects are measured in square units. We learned how to make nets of prisms and cylinders using grid paper. A net turns a 3D object into a 2D object. A rectangular prism has 6 faces, and each face is a rectangle. There is a front, side, and top view of each rectangular prism. A triangular prism has 5 faces. 3 of the faces are rectangles while 2 of them are triangles. A cylinder has 3 faces. 2 are circles, and one of them is a rectangle. As I said, the hardest for me was making the nets. It was difficult to transform a 3D object into a 2D object containing all sides. Though, I was able to understand it after doing a few more nets!

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The last thing we learned in term 2 was volume. The volume of an object is how much space the object can take. The formula to find the volume is v = area of base x height. For a rectangular prism, you would have to multiply the length and width together to find the area of base. For a triangular prism, the formula would be base x height / 2 x height. The base of the triangular prism is a triangle, and it cannot be anything else. For a cylinder, the formula to find the volume would be v = pi r r h x height. I didn’t have any trouble with this unit. This one was pretty easy to understand.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 36pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The difference between surface area and volume is that surface area is the area of the prism or cylinder’s faces. Volume is the area of how much an object can take. Basically, surface area is the area of the outside, and volume is the area of the inside.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Integers
<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> What I did wrong on my integers test was that for #19, I accidentally multiplied 3 by 4, instead of 3 by 2, giving me the quotient of 12. As an answer, I chose negative because the number was negative. But the real answer should look like: <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> (3x2) - [(-1)x(-6)] / 3x(-5) <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 6 - 6 / 15 <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> 0/15 <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Which equals to zero.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**3. How does The Man Who Planted Trees relate to us, to you, to the school and to the local community?** <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Man Who Planted Trees can relate to us because there are some governments who oppose to a citizen’s decision. Even if they have an exceptional reason, the government would not allow them. It could relate to me because when I was in elementary, I joined a gardening club. During spring time, we would plant different kinds of flowers, trees, and even herbs, just like Elzeard Bouffier. It could relate to the school because we too help out the community. For example, we do fundraisers, and Fun Friday to help out different charities. The story could relate to the local community because we are figuring out ways to conserve energy using natural resources for the future, just like Elzeard planting trees to build a community later on.

What limits their ability to be “green”?** <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">Money, publicity, votes, community benefits, prizes and awards motivate people and organizations in their approach to the environment because they get something out of it after being environmentally friendly. They will gain all of those things as well as helping the earth. What limits their ability to be “green” is that they cannot control weather. Organizations can’t just make it cold when it needs to, or warm.

How do trees affect climate at a local and a global level?** <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 90%; line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;">Trees affect climate at a local level because we use wood to make things such as furniture, and houses. Trees affect climate at a global level because it cleans out our air, gives out oxygen and takes in carbon dioxide.

And how would the people feel if they were in the position of an animal being beaten? Some key points I’ve researched are the different types of animal cruelty (eg.
