Kylee's Last Growing Post Question

In this last question we had to find which group had the most pieces of pizza. If you read these two pictures then they will tell you the answers I got to the questions. Enjoy!! :)

Sorry i have the pictures on the wrong sides. The second picture should be where the first pictures is.

Ok so in the second picture it tells about the groups of people and the number of pizzas each group gets. Group 1 Sally, Bob, Gidget, and Biff share 3 pizzas

Group 2 Stan, Holly, Barry, Ben, and Ichkabbible share 4 pizzas.

Group 3 Eric, Suzy, James, Betty, Veronica, and Moose share 5 pizzas.

Group 4 Paul, Alex, Chris, Jughead, Archie, Reggie, Mr. Wotherspoon, and Midge share 7 pizzas.

In the first picture it explains how many pieces of pizza each group gets.

Group 1: 4 people-3 pizzas. Each person gets 2 pieces and 1/4.

Group 2: 5 people-4 pizzas. Each person gets 4 pizza.

Group 3: 6 people-5 pizzas. Each person gets 8 pieces.

Group 4: 8 people-7 pizzas. Each person gets 7 pieces.

WHO WON?!??!

Group number 3 got the most pizza , because they each get 8 pieces of pizza.

Kylee's 3rd Growing Post

Race Strategies

The whole matters

Measurement/Fractions are operators

ugly fractions/friendly fractions

Propotional Reasoning

Partial Products

Ok so first of all I have to figure out how far Mark would have ran if he ran 7/8 of the course. And how far Racheal wold have ran if she ran 11/12 of the course.

The whole matters-in the first picture both Racheal and Mark both ran a whole of 26 miles. Each ran 5/8 and 7/12.

Measurment/Fractions are operators-in the second picture you have to add 1/8 five times, so that it equals 5/8. Then 4/7 of the way. 1/2 of the course, 1/2 of 26, 7/12=1/12,1/2x26.

ugly fractions/friendly fractions-5/8-> 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8/ 1/8x5.

1/8=4

5/8 of 32=4+4+4+4+4=20 5/8=20

5/8=5x4=20

Proportional Reasoning- Ratio Table. In question #3 we used a ratio table to find out how many miles they ran this year.

flags 1/12, miles 2 1/6, 7/12=15 1/6.

water/miles 16 1/4

Partial Products-5/8=1/2+1/8 4/8+1/8

Partial Distributive

Products Property

5/8 4/8+1/8=5/8

13m+31/4=161/4

7/12 1/2+1/12=13m.

1.What strategies were needed?
The strategies that were needed are money, clock, ratio tables, pictures, division, and multiplication.

2.How did you use these strategies?
I use these strategies I used a ratio table and I used division.

3.Or how could you of used these strategies?
I could have tryed using money and clocks to salve then questions.


4. How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table.
Ratio table:

Test:


5.Find 3 other values (amounts of Snack Mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the $ of your new container sizes.

1.What strategies were needed?
The strategies that were needed is a ratio table, and you can multiply and divide it.

2.How did you use your strategy?
I first multiplied the first answer and then for the 3 question I divided and then I times it at the end to get my full answer to my ratio table.


3. Or How could of used these strategies.
I could of used the strategies to figure how I got my answers and why I used those strategies to figure out my answers.

4. How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's snack Mix? Use a ratio table.
I would multiply and divide my answers.

5. Find 3 other values ( amounts of snack mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the $$ of your new container sizes.

Kylee's 2nd Growing Post

Sorry but I'm having trouble with moving my pictures so here's one of them. ( This one's for number 2) Oh yeah and this / means divide.

1.The strategies needed were T-charts, multiplication,and division.

2. I did it differently on my test. Now I learned the easy way to do it. Instead of going through all of the trouble. I used a T-chart which is much easier then what I did on my math test.

3. I could have used a T-chart on my test. I tought it would be good to try out a T-chart on this growing post. T-chart is on the top black and white one.

4. For the new snack mix I put 2 2/5, 12, 3 ,6 ,1 and 4 on the snack mix side. Then $6, $1.50, $9, $4.50, $3.60, and $18 on the money side. Then I just multiplied them and divided them to get the new price. Then the charts on the top. It's the colourful one.

Question #2

This is the link to my video. I hope it works! http://voicethread.com/share/35655/

Paul's 2nd Growing Post

1. My strategy was writing down the key points and just using my head and working on from there.
2. I think i divided.
3. I should of multiplied then divided i think. 5. 3 cups, 1 cup, 1/2 cup.








7/8 = 1/8 x 7
11/12 = 1/12 x 11

11/12 = 7/8
7/8=11/12

11/12 = 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 +1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12
7/8 = 1/7 + 1/7 + 1/7 + 1/7 + 1/7 +1/7 +1/7

11/12
7/8
both are using a whole of 26 miles.

7/8 = 4/8 + 3/8

11/12 = 6/12+ 5/12





Group 1 Sally Bob, Gidget and Biff Share 3 pizzas.
Group 2 Stan, Holly, Barry, Ben and Ichkabibble share 4 pizzas.
Group 3 Eric, Susy,James, Betty, Veronica and Moose share 5 pizzas.
Group 4 Paul, Alex, Chris, Jughead, Archie, Reggie, Mr. Wotherspoon and Midge share 7 pizzas.
How much pizza does each student get in the different groups?
group 1 students got 3 pieces of pizza each. 3/4
group 2 students got 4 pieces of pizza each. 4/5
group 3 students got 5 pieces of pizza each. 5/6
group 4 students got 7 pieces of pizza each. 7/8

Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
Group 4 gets the largest portion of pizza.

Show how you found your answer in 2 different ways.

Chris's First Growing Post

3. Which is larger 1/2 + 1/6 or 1/4 + 7/12?

- You know 1/2 of 60 is 30 (60 divided by 2)

then 1/6 is 60 divided by 6 which equals 10

They are both unit fraction so you are able to divide them by by 6 and 2. 40+10=50 minutes

- 1/4+ 7/12, 1/4 you get by halving 1 half its a quarter or 60 divided by 4 equals 15 1/4= 15min for 7/12 60 divided by 12 equals 5, there are 7 5's so 7 times 5= 35 or from the earlier question 1/6 is 10 minutes now that the denominator doubles the times halves so then 10 divided by 2= 5 5 times 7 = 35

Chris and Jurrell's Bike Race




For our Bike Race we put markers with initialise for each km needed ex we got them every 5th, 12th, 10th, 3rd, 4th, 6th.

Each Km equaled after one square and so on.

http://www.fris.k12.nf.ca/webpages/math/Grade_8_Mathematics_Unit_2_Review.htm

This site shows where to add fractions and multiply, divide and subtract. It is really easy to understand with the pictures too. They simplify the questions really good to understand so if u have trouble with fractions this site should show u a thing or two.

7) Find 1/12 , 1/6, or 1/3 of the 60 km bike race

When i saw this question i noticed that 3 goes into 12 and 6. So since 1/12 is the smallest fraction i divided it into 60 and got 5. So i put a marker every 5 km and noticed that i didn't have to do work for one 3rd and 6th.

8) 2 different ways to find 1/4 and 3/4 of a 16

1 way of getting a 1/4 of 16 would be to divide 16 into 4 and you would get 4 another way to get 1/4 of 16th is to half the 16 then half it again. making u get a quarter. For 3/4 16 divided by 4 is 4 do then times that by 3 u get 12. Another way is to half 16 then half it again and take 3 pieces of the 4.

9) 8/24 or 2/9 which is larger?

The way i do it is i found that 8 goes into 24 3 times and that 2 goes into 9 4 and 1 remainder

So from that u know 8/24 is larger. Another way is to simplify 8/24 to 1/3 because 8 goes into 24 3 times.

Charmaine's Bike Race

I showed where every marking would be.

I showed where every 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 3th,

5th, and 10th on the bike race.

Justin's First Growing Post

1/2 + 1/6 or 1/4 + 7/12
1/4 is larger because 50 mins is larger than 40 mins.
7/12 = 5 mins 1/4 + 7/12 = 50 min
1/4= 15 min
1/6 = 10 min 1/2 +1/6 = 40 min
1/2 = 30 min

Justin and Jeromes bike race!(below)

Paul's First Growing Post

1/2 + 1/6 or 1/4 + 7/12


1/2 = 30 min
1/6 = 10 min 1/2 +1/6 = 40min

1/4= 15min
7/12=5min 1/4 + 7/12 = 50min

1/4 + 7/12 is larger because 50min is larger than 40 min.

PAUL's BIKE RACE !

This is my bike race. Alicia and i colored the boxes that were pit stops (water stations etc).

Then we did some math work at the bottom and drew a legend.

I did long division that is how i calculated the km positions. No i didnt see any patterns i think.

1/2 + 7/12 equals 65 minutes. I got this answer by using the clock method.

1/2 = 30 min 7/12 = 35 min 30 + 35 = 65

65 minutes.

This game site is good because it teaches you more stuff about fractions and distances.

I played this game for like 10 min, its kinda fun, then it just gets boring. It taught me some stuff about fractions and it was fun.

16- I divided 16 by 4 and that is how i got the quarter for 16; a quarter of 16 is 4.

The second way: I halfed 16 and got 8 then i halfed 8 and got 4. Then i did 4 x 3 = 12. 3/4 of 16 is 12.
