In pre algebra our teacher is Ms. pope. Ms. Pope is really nice amd funny. In pre ablegbra we learn how to do math like proportions. Also, like using variables like x and y.

In mat class we are learning about proportions.In proportions it isn't really hard because all you need to do is cross multiply.Then you divide. Then you simplify if possible. I chose to write about this because we do a lot of proportions and using proportions is really useful to solve most problems.

In math we did this assignment called tessellations. Tessellations is making shapes that fit together perfectly. To make a tesselation you start of a shape like a square or a triangle. Once you made a shape that fits works you can make designs inside of the shape. I chose to write about this because it was a cool assignment to do.

In math we learned how to combine like terms. Combining like terms is really easy to do. It is like adding regular numbers, but the only difference is that there are variables. For example 2x+4x+2=6x+2.What you do first is add the numbers that are the same, which is 2x+4x and you get 6x. Then, since there is only 1 number that is the same you leave the 2 alone. So you get 6x+2. I chose to write about this because this was really easy to do and is like adding regular numbers.

In math we did this project. We made a boat made out of foil. Then once we finished making our boat we put it in water and put pennies till the boat sank. Our boat held 114 pennies the first time we did it. The second time we did our boat held 145 pennies. We figured out that if the boat has a big volume and a big area base it can hold a lot of pennies. Also the placing of the pennies affect if your boat will sink faster because if you put it in one spot a lot of weight will go to that one place. I chose to write about this because it was really fun to make.
