Question 1.



1.What strategies were needed?
the were multiplucation, division, adding, subtracting, double number line, money and fractions.



2.How did you use these strategies?
I didn't use all of them all the stratagies I used were: fractions, and adding.



3.Or How could you of used these strategies.
I could use they more better and put more ideas in it.

4.How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table
I could have used a ratio table but i don't understand how to use a ratio table.

5.
Find 3 other values (amounts of Snack Mix) that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the $$ of your new container sizes.
I can not find 3 other values for the snack mix on my test.

Question 4 ^


1) What strategies were needed?




The strategies that I used were a ratio table, multiplication, and some division.




2)How did you use these strtegies?




I used them to get 6 cups, 12 cups, and 1/2 a cup.





3)How could you have used these strategies?



I could've used a clock to divide.

Group 1 Sally Bob, Gidget and Biff Share 3 pizzas.


Group 2 Stan, Holly, Barry, Ben and Ichkabibble share 4 pizzas.

Group 3 Eric, Susy,James, Betty, Veronica and Moose share 5 pizzas.


Group 4 Paul, Alex, Chris, Jughead, Archie, Reggie, Mr. Wotherspoon and Midge share 7 pizzas.


How much pizza does each student get in the different groups? in group 1 they each get 3/4 of a peice, in group 2 each person gets a 19/20 , in group 3 each person gets 11/12 of a peice and in group 4 each person gets 4/4 of a peice.
Which group gets the largest portion of pizza? the group that gets the largest portion is Group 4 because they get a whole.

I found the answers by useing a pie chart and by dividing.

I used dividing and cutting a pie.

QUESTION ONE

a. the strategies that i used for this test were multiplication and division.

- i used multiplication to get from 2 2/5 to 12 CUPS

- i used division to get from 12 to 1/2 CUP

b. i didn't use a ratio table, but if i did, i'd use it to find out the cost of the cups

c. Betty's 6 cup snack mix

These are my 3 other values

QUESTION FOUR

Group 1: Since there is three people and four people, i wrote down the numbers of pizzas and divided them into four for each person, so each person gets 3/4 of pizza and then i multiplied the number of people to the number of pizzas. 4 x 3 = 12

Group 2: Each person in this group gets 4/5 of the whole pizza.
Group 3: I multiplied five to get 40 pizzas and then divided them into 40 to get 6 1/2 for every person.

Group 4: I multiplied 7 pizzas to 8 the number of pieces and was 56 pieces all together and then i divided 8 which was the number of people to get 7 pieces of pizza.

Joelle's 2nd Growing Post

1.What strategies were needed?
The strategies needed in this was money, ratio table, pictures and multiplication/division to solve the problem.

2. How did you use these strategies?
I first made a ratio table, so I could figure out how much the 12 cups cost. After I figure out how much 12 cups cost, the other sizes was easy.

3. Or How could you of used these strategies?
I think I used all of the strategies when I was doing the test.

4.How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table.
I found out by using this ratio table below this question.

2.How did you use these strategies
I used multiplication to figure out how to get from 2 2/5 to 12 but I didnt wrong,
and I did the same thing to the 12 cups, and I didn't do the 1/2 cup question.

3.Or how could you of used these strategies.
I could of used the ratio table to find my answers but I used multiplication cause that was all I thought of.

Question.1

1.) What strategies were needed?

-The strategies that were needed was money, clocks, multiplication, division, ratio tables and also picture in order to solve this problem.

2.) How did you use these strategies?

- I used these strategies to help me find out how much was needed for the snack mix and how much it would cost.

3.)How could you of used these strategies?

- I could've just used a ratio table to help me, but i used the multiplication since I thought it was easier and faster to figure out everything. The ratio table is also a good help since you can divide the sections like how much cups, shreddies, peanuts, pretzels, and how much it costs.

4.)How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table

- To find the price of six cup snack mix i made a ratio table like this :

1.What strategies were needed?
The strategies that were needed was money/clocks, multiplication, division, ratio tables and also picture in order to solve this problem.

2.How did you use these strategies?
I used the strategies in order to find out how much ingridients that was needed to make the snack mix and to find the cost.

3.Or How could you of used these strategies.
I could have usewd a ratio table to make it very simple and neat.

4.How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table.
In order to find out the price of a 6 cup bag is to x 2/5 by 5 so you could get 12 and you do the same thing to the price (3.60 x 5= 18.00) because what you do to one side you have to do to the other side. Then you divide 12 by 2 to get 6 and the price divide by two to get 9.00.

Question 2






Question 3



question 4

I took this picture from dhonell since im not sure where mine is right now,because someone lost mine"carmen" .

How much pizza does each student get in the different groups?

Group 1 Sally Bob, Gidget and Biff Share 3 pizzas.
each person gets 3/4 of pizza
Group 2 Stan, Holly, Barry, Ben and Ichkabibble share 4 pizzas.
each person gets 4/5 of pizza
Group 3 Eric, Susy,James, Betty, Veronica and Moose share 5 pizzas.
each person gets 5/6 of pizza
Group 4 Paul, Alex, Chris, Jughead, Archie, Reggie, Mr. Wotherspoon and Midge share 7 pizzas.
each person gets 7/8 of pizza
Show how you found your answer in 2 different ways.
for our strategy we drew circles and divided them in equal pieces then we used fractions after to solve how much eacher person got.

Group 1: in group 1 there is 3 pizzas and four people, i drew 3 pizzas and divided each of the pizzas by the number of people. in each pizza 1 person will get 1/4 then for all of of them it would equal 3/4.
Group 2: its the same thing for this one but theres 5 people and 4 pizzas only i did the same thing again drew a circle and divided that circle in 5 each person would get 4/5 from all 4 of those pizzas.Group 3: i multiplied 5 x 6 = 30 then divided it by the number of people "6" = 5/6 for all 5 of the pizza wholes.
Group 4: I multiplied 7 pizzas to 8 the number of people it = 56 pizza pieces all together from those 7 pizzas and then i divided it by 8 since there is 8 people. then it ended up giving 7 the 7 means each person gets 7 pieces from the pizzas.

Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
Group 4 gets the largest portion of the pizza.

What strategies did you use in finding your answer.
The strategies we used were using circles and dividing them into equal pieces so you can divide how much a person gets for each pizza.

Show your answer is 2 different ways. I would recommend that you create a voicethread of your work.
we couldve used money like pretend each whole pizza was a 1$ then just divide that pizza on how many people were there then you get a decimal number then you change it to a fraction.
Then draw a circle to represent a whole pizza, and then divide it on how many people were there then at the end found like how many of them get 1 piece on a pizza so like if there was 3 pizzas and 4 people each person would get 3/4.

fraction test / Question 1
1. What strategies where being used ?
The strategies being used were using a money, pictures, and ratio tables to solve the problems.
2. How did you use these strategies ?
I used these strategies by using money and ratio tables to show how i got the price of each cup and how much ingredients were in each bag. I also used pictures to show how 1 half of 1/2 is 1/4 and so on.
3. Or how could you have used these strategies ?
I did use all of these strategies ? But i could have used it in more of a organized and easy to understand way then i did use before.

1. What strategies were needed?
The strategies that were needed were ratio tables, clocks and money.

2. How did you use these strategies?
I used a ratio table to find out the cost of the differently sized cups.

3. Or How could you of used these strategies.
I could have used more than one strategy to help me check my work to make sure it was right.

4. How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix?
I used a ratio table. I went straight from 2 2/5 cups to 12 cups by multiplying 2 2/5 by 5, and I did the same thing with $3.60, which equaled $18.00. I then divided 12 by 2 to get 6 cups, and I did $18.00 divided by 2 to get $9.00.

6. Find the $$ of your new container sizes

1.The strategies that were needed were a ratio table and division/multiplacation.
2. For the ratio table, I put cups on one side and money on the other side. Then multiplied 2 2/5 to get 12. Then found out it was times 5. Then did that to the money. Then divided to get 1/2 cups.
3. Another way to use this strategey is add 2 2/5 instead of multiplying them.
4. To get 6 cups you get 12 cups then divide it in 2. So it will equal 6 cups and do the same thing to the money so it will equal 9 dollars.
5 and 6. The numbers I chose was 1, 5, 10.
To get 1 cup I multipled the money so it will equal for 1 cup.
To get 5 cups I multiplied 1 cup and the money by 5 so it will = 5 cups worth.
To get 10 cups I multiplied 5 cups and the money by 2 to get 10 cups of stuff.
