toc =Personal Reflection= 1.Through out the school year I have been learning a lot of new things in different subjects, but the two things that I have really improved in and are pretty good at is remembering formulas for math equations. So it is very simple, because all you do is fill in the formulas. Another thing I'm good at is being prepared for test, because I spend the time to study and get ready for the questions. 2.The two things that I need to improve on in any subjects are maybe being better at writing repsonses because I usually get a low mark, and also that I need to spend more time on them as well. The second thing I need to improve on is edit all my work before handing it in, since I always make silly mistakes through out some of my work. 3 My goal for the next 6 weeks is too participate more in class so that I can learn from my mistakes instead of keeping my own mistakes to myself and not learn from them. Another goal is too help others that are in need of help because they could be struggling in some subjects that you could be good at. =My Subjects=

Term 1 Reflection
In term 1 we learned about ratio, rate, proportional reasoning, square roots, squared numbers, right triangles, pythagoras relationship and more. There are 4 different types two-term ratios, three-term ratios, part to part and part to whole. Two term ratio compares 2 quantities measured in the same unit. Three term ratio compares 3 quantities in the same units. The part to part ratio compares different parts of a group to each other. The last ratio is part to whole ratio that compares are part of the group to the whole group can be written from decimal, and percent. The rate is compares 2 quantities measured in different units. The 2 other rates are unit rate and unit price, unit rate is a rate were the second rate is always 1. Unit price is unit rate when shopping. Another thing we learned was square roots and squared numbers, squared numbers which is the number multiplied by itself. I would always try my hardest to finish my homework on time and tried to always understand what is happening in class. Doing the pages in the homework book would help me learn what we are doing in class. The blog was also very useful for everyone to look at if there home sick or did not get what they did in class.

Term 2 Reflection
Term 2 Reflection In this term I did very well in finding out the volume of shapes such as trianglular prisms and cylinders, it was easy for me because all you had to do was remember the formulas of each shape such as (π x r x r)x h. At one point when we were learning about the volumes and when it was put in to problems, it sort of confused me because i didn’t know excatly how to find the answers. I think i can do better next term by always reading the questions twice, or until I understand what the question is asking me. Another thing I want to improve on is too check over my answer again because I could of missed a single thing in the formula or something messed up which could change my answer on my tests. This term I learned a lot about percents, surface area, and volume such as all the formulas that was involved. And how to use them all in a correct way so you won’t mess it up. I also learned some ways of finding out how much cm or m an object is if needed by using those formulas.

=Language Arts= The Man Who Planted the Trees 3. The Man Who Planted Trees relates to us because we both have tried to help plant a flower or other different plants, like how Elzeard planted the acorn. But instead we only did a little compared to how much Elzeard planted. We also have relates from our school and our local community because we both have put a lot of effort into protecting our environment, and keeping it safe as much as we can.

Trees can affect the climate of a local area because it can produce more clean air then open fields. It makes the environment much more beautiful and can produce habitat for animals such as birds, squirrels, and much more. The affects of trees to a global level is very important because its were most of our oxygen comes from. It saves us from having too much Co2 in the world also!
