                         Harvey's Algebra Unproject
Here is the video on how to solve some algebra questions there will be 2 step multiplication, answer checking, Modeling 2 step multiplication, and distributive. Enjoy!!!







                                                2 step Multiplying
step 1: Isolate the variable
step 2: Cancel the constant
step 3: Balance
step 4: Simplify
step 5: Cancel the coefficient
step 6: Balance
step 7: Simplify
   
                                                    Simplify                                                             
You just have to substitute your answer with the variable in your question and solve it like a BEDMAS question



                                                    Modeling
1. Model The question
2. Cancel the constant
3. Balance
4. Divide your answer by how many variable tiles you have

Note: The answer was x = 6 i got cut off on my last few words









                                                    2 Step Divide


step 1: Isolate the variable
step 2: Cancel the constant
step 3: Balance
step 4: Simplify
step 5: Cancel the coefficient
step 6: Balance
step 7: Simplify






                                               Distributive
1.Multiply the coefficient by the variable
2. Multiply the coefficient by a constant
3. Solve like a 2 step question


               step 1: Isolate the variable
               step 2: Cancel the constant
               step 3: Balance
               step 4: Simplify
               step 5: Cancel the coefficient
               step 6: Balance
               step 7: Simplify

Harvey's Pay it Forward

Part 1

What is "Pay it Forward". To complete this part please edit and revise the paragraphs that you wrote after watching the movie.  

Pay it forward is a movie where a kid named Trevor made a school project named pay it forward  How it works is you do something good to 3 people without anything in return, but those 3 people have to do something good for other 3 people. This method eventually became really popular in america.

Part 2

What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?
My pay it forward act of kindness was donating to the children's hospital

Why did you choose this activity?
I chose this activity because i know the poor children who are sick and no one with them. SO i thought I'd donate some toys to them to give them a little happiness they deserve

Who did you help?
Children in the hospital

What did you do?
I donated a few toys in the children's hospital

When did you do your act of kindness?
December 2, 2012

Part 3 

How did your act of kindness go?
My act of kindness went very great and successful

What happened?
What happened was, i came in the lobby i said i wanted to donate some toys, after that one of the girls that are working there took them and we took a picture together proving that i made my act of kindness

How do you feel?
I feel great knowing that the child who received those toys is going to be happy

The children probably react surprised or happy getting their toys

Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?
Yes i did i explained the lady who took the toys how pay it forward works, and i told her to pay it forward, but not the children

How did they react to your request?
They were happy that i told them to pay it forward, because they said it could change lives of people

If you did not ask the person to "Pay It Forward" how come?
I did not say "pay it forward" to the children because i don't know which child to say it too, there are very many. The toys i gave will be spread across the hospital to different children,

Part 4

Why is the idea of "Pay it forward" important?
Because doing these simple tasks can really has a huge on effect on people's lives, i can also help numerous people at the same time, for example it multiplies to 3, then 6, then 9, and so on

Has your act of kindness made a difference?
Yes, because it brang a huge smile to the children's faces who got those toys, and it will motivate them to be stronger and stronger while they are in the hospital

Everything Harvey knows about Fractions

Harvey's Proportion Post

Part 1 
Ratio - used to compare quantities of the same units of measure.
Ex. You have 20 cars and out of those 20 cars 15 are red, and you wanted to know the ratio of red cars to the total amount of cars. The ratio is 15:20
Rate - Rate is a ratio that compares two quantities of different units.

The Rate at which your parents' car travels may be 55 miles per hour.

Proportion - An equation which states that two ratios are equal.
Part 2
1. 5 hours to travel 360 kilometres is about _____km/h.


2. Emma saves 28 cents of every dollar that she earns.  Emma earned $75 last week.  How much money did Emma save last week?


















Part 3





                                3/4 = 12/16  or 4/9 = 16/32

Part 4
part 5
1. Does this seem fair? 
No. I don't think this is fair. 

2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above.  Does it seem just and fair? 

Nope. It still isn't fair to me.

3.Why have you made this choice? 

Because he was homeless and without money to take care of himself or feed himself. For the other one the sentence to jail is too far high.

4. What would you have done if you were the judge?

I would lower the jail time, for the first one I would say about 7 days because he didn't mean to hurt anybody and he turned himself in. For the second one I would lower it to about 10 years I would reduce the time if he gave some of the money back.
