Once in a hundred years

1) Once in a Hundred Years

write explanation + photo of you on Pi Day

(1) Pi day only happens once in one hundred years because 3.14 is the month 3 of the year 14. It means it will only arrive back next 100 years.

this is my geogebra 

2) How do we calculate pi? 

write explanation+ your embedded PI Movie

(2)  The way to calculate PI is by doing circumference divided by the diameter. C=2 Pi Radius
Pi movie

3) How can we get a more accurate number for pi?

write explanation of Geogebra investigation + screen shots of your work + (picture of?) your chart from your math journal

This is the photo I tooked in PI day 3.14926...

(3) to get a more accurate number to Pi we should try 22/7 however that isn't exactly Pi so the number would be something like 22.314/7 to get more accurate.  Did you know someone memorized 22,514 digits in just over 5 hours and his name is Daniel Tammet. But we do not know when it ends. Scientists say it will never stop going, because Pi is rational

4) Why So Irrational?

discuss 22/7 as pi...what’s rational? what’s irrational?
What’s a good way to get an accurate pi?

   (4)-    To get close to Pi we do 22/7 that will get us to 3.14285 that is close to 3.14. Irrational number is a number that never ends like Pi and Rational is a number that ends like 7.  The best way to get an accurate Pi is to use 3.14. rounding to the hundredths place is very accurate. 

5) Why should we know about pi?

what’s it good for anyway? how is it used?

(5) We should know about Pi because astronauts use it also many scientists and mathematicians.  I ask myself why is it good for us I guess because first it is an irrational number.

SLC math reflection

     1,2,3,4,5, numbers and more numbers can you imagine all those patterns and numbers in the world.  Well there are thousands and thousands of those patterns and numbers.
In this math test (2) I mastered giving values of angles.  I did some mistakes on it by 1 or 2 points away.  There are also many millions patterns in the world some that you don't even imagine.  Some that are easy to notice if you look closely is a flower, bee hive, snail shell and more.
     Another very important sequence that we should know is the pascals triangle.  The pascal triangle is a triangle that has lots of numbers.  Some of them are 1,1,2 so on.  Every where you look there must be a pattern.  Patterns are not invented it was discovered and invented. Partly discovered because no one found it, however it was kind of invented because the numbers were invented. After all it is basically discovered millions of years ago.
   

Learning Habit	My Score	Reasoning for Score
Inclusive: Demonstrates respect for others and the community and works collaboratively with others.	3	I think I got a 3 because I respect others the same way they want to be treated.  Also I work well with friends and other people.  In math I work well with my friends when problems are hard or difficult.  In lunch I respect others in the way they can sit with me. Plus I don't judge them.
Curious: Exhibits an active learning style which demonstrates a commitment to deepening their understanding.	3	I think I deserve a 3 because In portuguese I am always wanting to to learn and see what comes next.  Sometimes, (rarely) I get a little distracted with who is sitting next to me. However they help me usually.
Responsible: Demonstrates responsibility by arriving prepared for class with assignments and materials.	4	I think I got a 4 because, I am responsible because I always come prepared to class with all my materials, like pencil case, homework, book, folder, agenda and more.  I also arrive at a good time to class About 5 min before class really starts.
Perseverance/Risk taker: Exhibits perseverance when faced with challenges.	3	I think I got a 3 because I usually persevere and try to be a risk taker like raising your hands, That is a huge one, In math I am not much of a risk taker because I don't try to do the hardest problems.

      Above shows for all classes.   For my learning habits I need to be more curious. I think I got a 3 for it I am not being so curious in class like I should be.   For risk taker I am a

Reflection on my first math test in 6th grade. part 2

           When I got my test back, I evaluated it.  When I looked and went through the pages.  I saw that I did well on adding, times, dividing and on the, If Derek takes 6 minutes to build on part of the fence how much would it take to get 10 done.  Also I did bad on the 7th number in the triangle.  I think this means I get a 3.5 around.  I got a little more than half write.  I think overall the test was fun and at the same time easy and hard.  the test had challenging but also fun.
