Sarissa's Pythagorean Relationship Post

Text book pages 98-100

4. Estimate the square root of each number, to one decimal place.
a) 72 b) 55 c) 103
10. Kai uses an entire can of paint on a square backdrop for the school play. The label on the can states that one can covers 27 m2 of wall surface. Estimate the backdrop's side length to one decimal place.
S= 5.2 cm

17. Carmel wants to mount an 18 cm x 18 cm square picture on a square board that is four times the area of the picture.

a) What is the area of the picture ?

To find the area of the picture, multiply 18 cm x 18 cm = 324 cm2.
324 cm2 is the area of the picture.

b) What is the area of the board?

To find the area of the board, multiply 324 cm2 x 4 = 1296.
The area of the board is 1296 cm2 which is 4x the area of the picture.

c) What is the dimensions of the board?

To find dimensions, find the square root of 1294 cm2
The square root of 1294 cm2 is 36 cm.1. Explain the Pythagorean Relationship
The two sides of the triangle would equal the hypotenuse. It can also be known as the two legs equal the hypotenuse. a² and b² would be the legs, and both of the amounts would add up to c² (hypotenuse).

2. Find the missing side length.3. Is this a right triangle?
No, it is not a right triangle. Because the two legs of the triangle do not equal the hypotenuse.

Sarissa's Scribe Post - Textbook questions 3,7&11

Pages 142-143
Questions 3,7 & 11



a) 300/100 =3 b) 1.25/100=0.0125
3x 2000 = 6000 0.0125x 60= 0.75

c) 1/100=0.001
0.001x 40= 0.4




a)If there were 100 tickets there would be a 1% chance of winning with one ticket. So, 1/2 = 0.5 or 0.5%

b)If there is a 0.5% chance of winning with one ticket you would have to buy 5 tickets to have a 2.5% chance.
(0.5x5=2.5)







6.5 x 9 984 670 = 64 900 355 km2

Sarissa's Pay it Forward

Part 2
What was your Pay It Forward act of kindness?
Shera, Madeline, Jenny and I made treat bags for the kids at the Ronald McDonald House for our act of kindness.

Why did you choose this activity?
We choose this activity because we thought the kids at the Ronald McDonald house would enjoy and appreciate the treat bags.

What did you do?
We went to Dollarama and bought 31 bags to put everything in. We got pencils, erasers, stickers, notepads, lollipops, toy dinosaurs for the boys, and a tiaras for the girls to put in each bag. The day after, our group went to the Ronald McDonald House and delivered the bags to Kerry. She was one of the people that worked there.

Who did you help?
We helped the children at the Ronald McDonald House.

When did you do your act of kindness?
We did it on November 14.

Part 3

How did your act of kindness go?
I thought it went good.

What happened?
Kelly, the person that worked at the Ronald McDonald House gave us a tour around the house. She also told us some details about it.

How did you feel?
When we went inside the house I felt welcome and not nervous.

How did the person/people react?
Kerry thanks us for contributing to the Ronald McDonald House.

Did you ask the person to pay it forward?
The tags on the treat bags said 'Pay it Forward' on them. When we signed the guest book we wrote 'Pay it forward' on them along with our school and names.

How did they react to your request?
I'm not sure on how they reacted.

Part 4
Was the idea of 'Pay it Forward' important?
Yes, the idea of Pay it Forward is important because something small can make a difference.

Has your act of kindness made a difference?
I'm not sure that it has made a difference to the children because all of them were at the hospital at the time we went there.

Sarissa's Graphing Post




1. Use your notes to list the different types of graphs. Please list the advantages and disadvantages of each graph

Data can be presented using bar graphs, double bar graphs. circle graphs, line graphs, and pictographs.

The advantage of using a bar graph is that it compares data across categories and you can clearly see the comparison from each category . One disadvantage of using a bar graph is that some of the numbers can be hard to identify.

One advantage of using a double bar graph is that you can compare two sets of data on one graph. A disadvantage is that is can only be used when you compare two sets of data.

An advantage of using a circle graph is that it shows the percents of each category. One disadvantage is that it is harder to make and you have to find the percent of each number.

One advantage of using a line graph is that it shows data comparing over time, a disadvantage is that it could be hard to identify the exact number on the graph.

An advantage of using a pictograph is that the data is represented by symbols a disadvantage is that it can be harder to see if a symbol is cut in half.

2. How can graphs be misleading. Show 3 ways.

In a pictograph, if you make the pictures look bigger on one of the objects, it would look more important compared to the other ones.

If you make one of the bars on a bar graph wider, 3D or colour it in, it can appear as the most important one.

If there is a break in the y-axis , it can make the data appear bigger or smaller then it really is.

2a) The following chart shows Pizza Sub Sales over a month. What 2 graphs would show the information accurately?

I think a bar or line graph would be best to represent the information most accurately.




2b) If you were selling Pizza Subs would you continue? How does your graph explain your answer.

Yes, I would continue selling pizza subs because the graph shows the pizza subs getting greater.

4. Below you see 2 different examples of graphs showing healthy choices sold at the canteen. If you had to convince Mrs Mota that we should continue selling healthy choices which graph would you choose?

I would choose the line graph because it shows the data going up over time.


4a) Change each graph so that your information looks even MORE impressive. You may not change the data just the graphs.

Sarissa's Proportion Post

Ratio- a comparison of two quantities that have the same unit measure. Rate- a comparison of two quantities measured in different units. Proportion- an equation which states that two ratios are equal.

  1. 5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72mph

    5/360 = 1/72

    2.As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.

    25 ml x4= 100ml
    50 x 4= 200

    3.3/4 = 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32

    Horizontal, vertical, diagonal.
    The first one is correct.


    4.


    5.
    I do not think this is fair.

    If I where the judge I would have put Roy in jail for a less amount of time.
    And I would have put Paul in jail for more time.
