Jordy's Unproject

Here is a remake of: Desperate Measures By: Marianas Trench.

"Gonna make me fail grade 8,
with just a bit of crazy math
These desperate times call for desperate measures
I'll give you something to cry about,
Show some numbers, and letters
and be cache.
How could you let this get to desperate measures?
For a first effort, this was pretty hard
I guess this just got kinda difficult. 
 Trust us, you just fell off the honor roll baby. 
I can't let, can't let this, can't let this GO OOOH OOOH OOOH OOOOH
Desperate measures, can't let this go.
Have a Canadian dream of passing my math test.
Wake up on Monday, receive the test and say "Thank you" I'd like some desperate measures please.
For a first effort, this was pretty had.
I guess this just got kinda difficult.
Trust us you jut fell off the honor roll baby.
I CAN'T LET THIS GO!"

Definition Words: 

Distributive Property- The sum of the two addends multiplied by a number is the sum of the product of each addend and the number. 

Variable- A symbol or letter used to present a number.

Constant- A quantity that doesn't change it's value. 

Coefficient- A number multiplied by a variable in a algebraic expression.

First will start of with 2 step dividing equation: 

First you would like to isolate the variable which is (2) by making a zero pair for your constant you would have to do the same thing on the other side. 

2x+1=5

2x+1-1=5-1

Now you would have to multiply your variable and also the other side. 

 2x  = 4

   2     2

  x= 2

Last thing we do is Verify our answer, but first we gotta rewrite the equation. 

2x+1=5

2(2)+1=5

4+1=5

5=5 

Now we are done. 

2 Step Multiplying Equation: 

2+x=10

First of all you have to isolate the variable. by isolating it you have to make a zero pair. Don't forget to do the same thing on the other side. 

2-2+x=10-2
x=8

After that you gotta balance them by dividing both sides by the coefficient. 

2x = 8

2      2

x=4

Were done. If you want go watch this video. http://youtu.be/9HT6ED0MJtc 

Distributive Property: 

Last thing I'm going to teach is Distributive equations... 

3 (6+x) = 10

First of all you must multiply the constant and the variable. 

3 (6+x) =10

     6+x

     6+x

    6+x   

    18+3x=10

Then you would solve it with 2 step multiply equation. 

3x+6-6=10-2

3x= 8

3x  = 8

3      1

  X=1 

Jordy's Pay It Forward

Part 1:
What is "Pay It Forward"?
Pay it forward is a movie is about a boy who it told by his teacher to make a difference in the world. He finds 3 people to help, once he helps them he need to tell them to "Pay it Forward".

Part 2:

What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?
My pay it forward was going through my family's wardrobe and my own for unwanted clothing, after my mother and I took it to the salvation army.
Why did you choose this activity?
I chose this activity because a lot of people don't have a lot of clothing and i thought it would be a good idea to give them some.
Who did you help?
I helped homeless people.
What did you do?
I gave clothing to the ones in need.

Part 3:
How did you act of kindness go?
It went well.
What happened?
I gave the clothes to the people of salvation army and they thanked me.
How did you feel?
I felt helpful because i helped someone who is not as fortunate as myself.
How did the person or people react?
They reacted surprised, because of someone my age giving so much.
Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?
I did not ask the people/person to pay it forward.
How did they react to your request?
I did not ask them to pay it forward.
If you did not ask the person to "Pay It Forward" how come?
I didn't ask because of  they are the salvation army and they are already paying it forward by giving people clothes.
Part 4:

Why is the idea of "Pay It Forward" important?
It is important because it feels good knowing you've helped someone who need your help.
Has your act of kindness made a difference?
My act of kindness probably hasn't made a big difference in the whole community but it feels good to know that at least one person was helped.

Jordy's Proportion POst

Part 1:

Definitions

Ratio:Compares two different parts of a group.

It can be written like this:  4:8 or a fraction. 4/8.
You should always simplfy!
4/8 = 1/2
 




Rate:
is a ratio that compares two quantities of different units.
 
An example of Rate:
 
Unit rate is a rate in which the second term is 1.
     
Jordy wrote 20 words in 10minutes.




Proportion:





A proportion is an equation is stating that two ratios are equivalent.

Part 2

1. 5 hours to travel 360 kilometers is about __72_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 4

Here's a video to help you if your having trouble with proportion!

 

 

Part 5

1.Does this seem fair?

Yes. Although he did the wrong thing , he needed the money to survive, now he must face his punishment.

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

Urh, no! The man in the first article took 3B and is only in jail for 3years? Where else the one in the second took 100$ and returned it the next day and is there for 15years?

3. Why have you made this choice?

Because it doesn't seem right. Neither of them did the right thing, but the homeless man was hungry but still went back the next day. The other man was probably planning on spending his 3B on something silly.

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

Switched it around.
3B= 15years.
100= 3years.
