MATH GAME

I found a math game on making a pizza using fractions. In this exclusive game, orders are received detailing the contents of the pizza. From this point forth, you must prepare the pizza specifically according to the orders.
There is a time limit, in which you must make the most possible pizzas. You make a certain amount of money for each pizza, but if you mess up the order, you pay a fine!!!!!!
This game is fun for 2 minutes, so have fun.

Multiplying and Dividing Intergers


Homework: page 291-292 #5-8 and #13-20
Rules:
1. do the number
find out the answer to the question

2. apply the rule
find out if it is a - or +

When the two integers are the same multiplied or divided they will always equal a positive
(+3) x or / (+7) = (+21)
(-3) x or / ( -7) = (+21)


When the two integers are different multiplied or divided they will always equal a negative

(-3) x or /(+7) = (-21)
(+3) x or / (-7) = (-21)

Remember: to put in Math game on new post

Volume of a Cylinder

Today in Math class we started to work on 7.3. 7.3 is on the volume of a cylinder.

This is an example of how to find the height of a cylinder given the volume of the cylinder and the area of the base (circle):




















What is the height of the cylinder?

Volume = Area of the base x height.........from here on out I will call "Area of the base" simply "area"

To figure this out,you have to get height by itself on the right side of the equal sign because height is what you are trying to find. To get height by itself, you have to take Area divided by itself and what ever you do to one side of the equal sign, you've got to do to the other. Then you take volume divided by area.




















If you take 150 divided by 48 it equals 37.5. The height of the cylinder is 37.5 cm2.

To find the volume of a cylinder you have to use the formula:





Remember that there is a difference between the diameter and radius. The diameter is the length across the circle. The radius is from the middle of the circle to any point on the outside.

Also remember that radius squared is radius times radius, NOT radius times 2!

Homework for tomorrow is 7.3 # 4-12!

Math 7.2

Today in Math we continued working on 7.2. We were doing questions 4,6,7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 17 on page 258, 259, and 260. After you were done those questions you were to self correct and if you had any wrong you were to figure out what you did wrong and fix it.

If you know the formula's for finding the volume for rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and eventually cylindrical prisms you pretty much know the unit.

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is: lxwxh.

The formula for finding the volume of a triangular prism is:(basexheight divided by 2)

The formula for finding the volume of a cylindrical prism(cylinder) is: (pie x radius squared x height)
For question 10 you were to find out the volume of the empty space of each object. Here is how you would do a)

a) 4/5 full of facial tissues
The first thing you would do is go (lxwxh)
(10x10x10)=1000
Since you want to figure out how much empty space your calculating you go 5/5-4/5=1/5
Since you want to figure out the amount of empty space in the box you would take 1000/1 x 1/5 because the 1/5 is the amount of empty space.
1000/1x1/5=1000/5=200/1
200cm3 is the amount of empty space in the tissue box

ELA- Today in ELA we went to the computer to type up our newspaper articles.
Hopefully I did an alright job in explaining everything.

Finding the Volume of Prisms

Today we started off in math class with correcting 7.1 numbers 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13.
We then started on working on 7.2 and that is what I am going to show you what to do.
Find the Volume of a Triangular Prism


First you find the area of the triangle. Remember the formula, if you don't it is:
A=(b x h)/2
A=(13 x 8)/2
A=104/2
A=52cm2

Once you have figured that out you take the answer you got and multiply it by the height so like this:
V=A x H
V=52 x 12
V=624cm3

Remember that behind the final answer the units must be cm3, mm3, or m3. Not cm2, mm2, or m2 because that is what you use for area.

Finding the Volume of a Rectangular Prism

First off you must find the area of the base which the formula to find that out is:

A= l x w
A= 3 x 4
A= 12cm2

You take what you have there and multiply it by the height:

V= 12 x 12
V= 144cm3

Remember as well as the rectangular prism you must have the right units (cm2, mm2, or m2).

Finding Only the Certain Amount of Volume



First find the area of the triangle (A= (b x h)/2)
Second take the Area multiplied by the height of the prism
Thirdly the part we haven't covered in this post is take the volume multiplied by how full it is:

V= 642/1 x 1/3
V=642/3= 214cm3

The same goes for a rectangular prism.

ELA

In Ela today we typed out our Dear Abby letters for our newspaper. Right after that we got a different Dear Abby. You were suppose to read it and then give it a reply.
We also started writing out our seven articles for the newspaper.
Lastly we silent read for 10 minutes.

Homework and Olympic Ending

Due for tomorrow is the 7.1 sheet, if you are done that you can start on 7.2 in the textbook. You must do 2 practice, 3 apply, and 2 extend questions from this chapter and you must get them all right after you correct them with the answers in the back of the book before you can move to 7.3. You must do the same in this chapter. In science we worked on the density sheet.

Remember to get your ski trip forms and money in and badminton players also must get forms and the $5 in by next Wednesday.

We did the wind up for the class Olympics in the afternoon and had lots of fun with tug-o-war, speed skating, and GT racing. Hope Thebes wins the gold.

Correcting and Newspapers

Math- In Math today we did some correcting and some helping. We corrected chapter 7: Volume; Get Ready.
Right prisms and right cylinders have lateral faces that meet the base at 90%

Right Cylinder~-~-~-~-~--~-~Not A Right Cylinder
~
Using mental math includes estimating. 3 ways to estimate are: round both down (4.5+67= 4+60), round both up (4.5+67= 5+70) or round one up and one down (4.5+67= 5+60).
~
A question lots of people had trouble with was 3. b) and c).
~
3. Calculate the area of each shaded region. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
B)

First you have to find the area of the square. Then the area of 1 circle then times it by 4.
Since 6cm is the radius of 1 circle and 2 circles are side by side you times the radius by 4
-
6x4=24cm
-
a=l x w
a=24x24
a=576
-
c=x
c=x3.14
c=36x3.14
c=452.16

576-452.16= 123.8

E.L.A.- Today in E.L.A. we read our articles we made yesterday. (article #3, Headline only). After that Mr. O read the actual article. Then we talked about a column named Dear Abby, then Dear Annie. We discussed those for a bit and then wrote our own (without our name). Mr. O will then hand them out sometime to random people and they will answer them. Once we were done we had free time.

Challenge

Today we competed in a chapter 4 math and basketball challenge. The challenge started with a small math worksheet, then we competed in some basketball skill challenges. Our team got last, but we tried. I really have to work on my free throws.
This morning we had another one of our Olympic Events. This time it involved math(percents) and basketball. Athens came in second for the math part but came in last after doing the basketball part. Athens will just have to do a lot better in the event on Thursday.

why could you not have helped him too??

wow i can't believe the Olympics we had this year there were many injuries that happened but we pulled through it, Canada has set the record for most golds ever but we didn't win the hole thing. Even when we were in trouble we can always count on the other countries to help us out (thanks Norway) we hope you like pancakes because you may be eating them for a while, but i wish you could have helped this cat because he looks like a not half bad skier
