Three Angles of Sprining

I think that I can work on keeping my arms straight up and down because my arms are crossing a bit. I can work on the pocket to chin method. My hands kept crossing over to the opposite shoulder. This slowed me down because my hands were breaking part of the wind, and hen some of the wind was left behind for me to break with my torso. I think I did well on keeping my knees high because my knees were horizontal to my torso.

Organization Tools

I use the task bar on Google Calendar because it is the easiest way for me to see everything, and change subjects. I can even have non-school related things. At home, I use real sticky notes at home because they seem easier for me because I can take them anywhere I go because they are so small.

Gran, How Old Are You?

 - How does prime factorization help you to answer this problem more efficiently. 13 x 11 x 7 x 3 x 37 is the prime factorization of 111, 111. This helps answer the problem more efficiently, because there is only one prime factorization for 111, 111. There are many factors of it. Using prime factorization narrows things down, so you only end up with one answer.

I 8 Point 5 of My Shyness Away

TEN is a person who is dying to hit the stage on day one of drama and would willingly perform in front of all of 6th grade right NOW!  ONE is a person who would rather be ANYWHERE but the stage and would prefer to be wrapped up in a blanket back in their bed hugging their teddy bear. On this scale of one to ten, I would be a 8.5 because I wouldn't want to just right up on stage, but if I had 20 minutes to figure something out, I would be pretty happy to go up on stage. I like to dance a lot (I am a gymnast), and I like to go on stage to dance (I am doing MSDC). I am hoping to improve my acting skills, while having fun.

Investigation 2

How can you decide whether finding common multiples or common factors is helpful in solving a problem? I can decide wether finding common multiple or common factors is helpful in solving a problem because if the question uses the words fewest, I know that it could be about LCM. This would help me because it would be faster than if I solved it another way. This is the same for GCF.

Follow-Up Questions - Homemade Water Balance

1. What is the fundamental concept about the metric system that makes it possible to measure the mass of an unknown object with water? 1 ml of water is equal to 1 gram of water, which makes things easy to measure. This matters because on the digital scale, they measure by grams, and when we are measuring on the homemade water balance we measure by ml. 2. Any balance or scale has a maximum amount of mass it can measure. What is the maximum mass that your homemade water balance can measure?  Explain. The maximum mass that my homemade balance can weigh is about 1,200 ml because I measured an object that went to about the top of the bottle. It's mass was around 1,100. It wasn't all the way to the top of the bottle. When the top of the bottle is on, the mass that it can hold is 1,500 ml.

Neutral Characters

The neutral characters talk softly to give a perspective that they're far away and it's hard to hear them. The main characters are in the center. The neutral characters aren't focused, but aren't blurred out too much so that they look like a blob in the background. They are wearing pale colours like light grey, light blue, lavender, black, and white. They don't do things that are noticeable. They are just there to make the set look real. It's easier to focus on the neutral characters when the sound is off because When the sound is on, we are trained to watch people's mouths speak, and we think that the voice is coming out of their mouth, when it's really coming out of the speaker. It's easier to focus on them because when the sound is on, it's tempting to look at where the sound is coming from because you would know it's not coming out of the neutral characters mouth.

Parent/Student Agreements

  I think that I am responsible enough to take my laptop home because I will keep it in a place that I walk by every morning so I can't forget it. I will be able to charge my laptop every day because it will be charging when I am doing my homework, and it will be charging in my room at my desk at night, and I will put the charger in before I go to sleep each night.
