MaTh HoMeWoRk 11/7
VoCaBuLaRy: Estimation: Is a way to find an approximate answer instead of an exact one
Review: understanding common percents
You can find many common percents mentally, without using a calculator. look at the equivalent fractions or numbers for the common percents listed below:
10%=10/100=1/10 100%=100/100=1
25%=25/100=1/2 200%=200/100=2
50%=50/100=1/2
What you should know
To find 10% of a number, move the decimal point one place to the left in the number
To find 25% of a number, divide the number by 4
To find 50% of a number, divide the number by 2
100% of a number is itself
to find 200% of a number, double the number
Try it 1:
approx.$ 14,000
Try it 2:
approx. $8
Try it 3: approx. 750 customers

Once upon a time w/ GOLDILOCKS( w ribbons :)
Mother bear was three quarters the size of father bear.
Baby bear was half the size of father bear
and all the things they had were in the same proportions
this means that father bear's chair was 2x as big as baby bear's chair and mother bears chair came exactly in between
Q: if mother bear's chair was 60cm high, how high were the other 2 chairs?
A: Father: 80 , Baby:40
The diameter across the top of each bear's porridge bowl was three times the height
Father bear's bowl was 24cm across what was the diameter of mother bear's bowl and the height of baby bear's bowl?
A: Mother: 18Diameter baby:4Height
Goldilocks had all the same things as the bears, but hers were all sorts of odd sizes, some nearly as big as father bear's, and almost as small as
work: 5/6 X 3/6= 18/30 baby bears!
Father bear's spoon was 30cm long. Goldilocks' spoon was 5/6 of that
what proportion of Goldilocks' spoon was baby bear's spoon?
A: 18/30
work: 5/6 X 3/6= 18/30

Apathy
Apathy: noun: absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement.
2. lack of interest in or concern for things that others find moving or exciting.
We have a problem.... we are not taking our 8th grade success seriously! Too many of you are refusing to complete assignments and worse, those that choose to complete them, are handing in mediocre work! This is unacceptable!! People, we need to understand what is expected of us (which I am pretty sure you do) and comply! Right now, we understand that you feel overworked (which you are not) and under appreciated (which is possible). However, you must stay steadfast with your goals and succeed. Persevere!!
As it stands, both class averages are holding steady around 60%. This is due to lack of homework completion and very poor test grades. If i do the math (and science) it is evident that not doing homework negatively affects my test grades, which in turn negatively affects your overall score.
Fix your attitudes. The more negative you are, the harder this life will be. Make it a bit easier on yourself.
Follow your syllabus. It is your plan for success. Someone has written a way for you to score 100% in a class. Why would you NOT read and follow it?
This is your warning. This week will be your final adjustment period. Detentions are next. Parent conferences are next. You may think we are playing, I am here to tell you, we are not.
Get it together. Now.
