Leif's Algebra Project

                                
                        Leif''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

Leif's Pay it Forward

Part 1
Pay it forward is the act of helping others for nothing in return and if they ask "How can I repay you?", tell them to pay it forward.  

Part 2

 For pay it forward I did two acts of kindness, The first one I donated some old childhood toys to the  Canadian mental Heath Agency new family room which had little to no toys before, some also went to a single parent family with 4 kids through Child+family services that are facing financial challenges. My second act was volunteering at Winnipeg Harvest, at Winnipeg harvest they have over 200 volunteers a day with over 80 food banks and soup kitchens over Winnipeg, and it turns out a food shortage could happen to almost anyone. My first job there was to load break into small containers and loaded them on to pallets in the storage area, after that was finished we started to fill out orders which required a certain amount of food items per pallets. After the order was loaded onto the pallet it was then wrapped and ready to be transported to the location, or it was dropped off at the loading area for pick up. I choose the first one cause my aunt worked at the Heath agency and she knew they needed toys, the second one was chosen due to it location near our house and that they had an orienteering course on the next day.

Part 3

How did your act of kindness go?

It went pretty well and it was also pretty fun volunteering at Winnipeg harvest, I met some nice people there.

What Happened?

I worked for about 3 hours at Winnipeg harvest filling out orders.

How did you feel?

I felt great after I volunteered at Harvest it felt great knowing that I was helping those who couldn't afford their own food. 

How did the person or people react?

They were thankful for us donating those toys and helping out harvest too.

If you did not ask the person to "Pay It Forward" how come?

I guess I kind of forgot, but everyone at Winnipeg harvest were all volunteers and no one asked for anything there they were just happy to help others.

Part 4

Why is the idea of "Pay it Forward" important?

Because if all of us do something nice for each other this world could become a better place.

Has your act of kindness made a difference?

My act of kindness may have been small but it sure made a difference to those at the Canadian mental Heath Agency who now have toys for their new family room, and at harvest I made a difference when those orders went out to places that needed them.

Leif's integer scribepost

Standard form is when you remove the brackets and the redundant plus sign or in money form the "and" sign. (Sorry about picture quality taken with and Ipod.)

Leif's proportion test

Part 1

Ratio: It compares different parts of a group/whole, similar to a fraction. EX: 6:7 6 blue cars to 7 white cars.
Rate:Compares two quantities measured in different units. EX:27 km/hour
Proportion: comparative relation between things.  Steve makes 20$ an hour how much money will he make a day?

Part 2
Copy these questions into your post. Answer them using proportion statements.

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? She saved 21 
3.  
4.  
5. 3/4 = 12/16  or 4/9 = 16/32, You can use cross multiplication go vertically or horizontally.

Does this seem fair? Honestly I don't think its fair due to the fact the he returned it and surrendered himself, I think he shouldn't be given such a long sentence, but what really questions this sentence is a man stealing 3 billion dollars and only got a 40 month sentence, but I'm guessing this happened in different countries with different laws and sentences, but all in all this is very unfair.
With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above.  Does it seem just and fair?  This does not look fair in anyway.

Why have you made this choice?  Because why should a man got to jail for 40 months for stealing 3 billion than a homeless man who robbed a bank for 100$ and return it go to jail for 15 years.

What would you have done if you were the judge? I would of given the man who took 3 billion dollars give him 15 years and the homeless man 40 months.
