I thought this unit was quite hard at first but it got easier throughout the unit. In this unit I learned how to get answers with ratio tables and x k y charts. The easiest thing about this unit is the word problems… The thing I found hard about this unit is the proportion reasoning thingys, like when you had to change the sizes without changing the shape! It got easier when Mr. H. showed us the steps on how to find the answer and then yeah… So I hope I'll be able to boost up my mark through this. Overall this was my favourite unit because it was like the only unit I understood!

This unit was pretty hard I say. In the beginning it was pretty hard but throughout the unit I started getting it. In this unit I learned how to get answers with ratio tables and x k y charts. I'm still having trouble with the x k y chart. I really don't know what to put for the top. All this unit is counting, well mostly it is. Tomorrow is the test, hope i don't blow it like how I blew the quiz, i think? Well this unit is almost over so yeah thats good.

The Proportion Unit was pretty challenging. Some people say that if you can't figure out something, you have think outside the box but on this unit, you do and you don't. Some parts of this unit was pretty easy, you don't have to think too hard to get the answer and some part were (very) hard. I find that the blue book was really easy because it's just like fraction. I also find that the ratio table, equivalent fraction and x k y chart was sort of easy because it helped me so much so I could solve problems easily. What I find hard about this unit is the propotional reasoning, when you had to change the sizes without changing the shape. There were also hard problem solvings. Some of them were confusing because of how the question were made.



There were countless of stuff I learned and I enjoyed it!

Well, this unit was a bit confusing at first. When Mr. Harbeck gave us the blue booklet, I thought "Hey, this'll be an easy unit". Was I ever wrong. As we went along the unit, I found out different ways of finding out how to use fractions. Then we cotinued on to ratio tables and proportions. Now THAT was confusing. We had 3 quizes during the unit and I seriously goofed up the last one, well so did almost everyone else, by overthinking it. I learned how to use a ratio table to find answers to specific types of questions. Overall, this unit taught me alot about ratio tables, proportions and fractions.

This unit was a bit confusing for me at first, but things became clear once I looked at it a bit closer. And that last quiz--I think I did overthink that one. It didn't occur to me that I had to actually cut the house in half until the quiz was over. But I did find a way to get that second fraction with an operation that works almost every time (if the numbers were put in right). I still have some trouble with that second page where I had to draw a rectangle in a way that it made the shaded part that part out of a whole. In all, I think I learned a lot from this unit and now know that much more about this fact of life called math.

Today we did a review for the test tomorrow. It consisted of 21 questions that, in my opininion, were easy. I'll show you how to do a few now

6. A store makes a profit of $15,000 for every 300 coats that they sell. If they make a profit of
$25,000, how many coats did they sell





7. David read 40 pages of a book in 50 minutes. How many pages should he be able to read in 80
minutes?







8. Audio Jeannie takes inventory of her closet and discovers that she has 8 shirts for every 5 pair ofjeans. If she has 40 shirts, how many pairs of jeans does she have?












9. Jim found out that after working for 9 months he had earned 6 days of vacation time. How manydays will he have earned after working for two years?









17. If 3 apples cost 29¢, how much do 45 apples cost?













We also had to hand in our blue books and the house proprtions booklet.

I thought this unit was pretty easy. The whole unit was about counting things. I do admit that it was a bit hard to understand what you were asking us to do at the beginning, but now it's clear. I still have a little bit of trouble with splitting shapes into pieces. Like the one on the test that you gave us a few days ago. I thought it had more to do with mathematics than just eyeballing it. The test does look pretty easy now that I look at the work that we've done. I just want to get over this unit. Each step is closer to summer.
