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

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.

Back On!!

I apologize for the delay, but my technical difficulties are finally over!! I'm back and we need to get this blog back in full swing!! Thanks for your patience!

An Evening with Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad

We have been studying how to find distances on a map using map scales, a ruler, and proportions . We took a glance at how our African ancestors may have traveled through the Middle Passage. Now, this weekend we will travel with Harriet Tubman and other abolitionists as they risk their lives to free slaves from southern states in America. What cities will you go to?? How far will you travel?? Plan 10 escape routes and put yourself in their shoes. Be sure to record where you will escape from and where you will escape to. Also, be sure to follow the scale and record your calculations. Discuss why you chose these routes and how you feel being with Harriet Tubman.
