Cedrics 2nd Growing post

I got it wrong the first time, but the second time I understand it, so here it is.

Questions:

1. What strategies were needed?
2. How did you use these strategies?
   
3. Or How could you of used these strategies.
4. How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? 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.

Answers:

1: The strategies I had used were ratio tables, division, multiplying, and adding

2 : I used this strategy to find out how much ingredients are needed and the cost of the cup.
I took 2 and 2/5 and multiplied by how much was needed to get 12. Which was by 5.
Heres a picture.

3. I could've used money or a ratio table, which was probably easier. ._.

4: I took 2 and 2/5 and multiplied it by 5 which got to 12 then to get to 6 cups I divided it by 2,
and on the price I did the same thing. 3.60 x 5 = 18.00 divided by 2 = 9.00.


5: The 3 other values are: 30, 3 and 60.

Question 2:


Question 3:
Today in class we reviewed the 6 strategies from the RACE Investigation. They were

• Equivalence
• Fractions show operations
• Ratio Tables (Proportional Reasoning)
• Measurement
• Partial Products or the Distributive Property
• The Whole Matters
  
• Friendly Fractions

Question 4:

Your last question deals with pizza. You need to explain which group gets the largest portion of pizza. All student groups get the same sized pizzas. It is up to you to cut them up so that they are shared equally.

1. Group 1 Sally Bob, Gidget and Biff Share 3 pizzas.
2. Group 2 Stan, Holly, Barry, Ben and Ichkabibble share 4 pizzas.
3. Group 3 Eric, Susy,James, Betty, Veronica and Moose share 5 pizzas.
4. 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?
• Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
• Show how you found your answer in 2 different ways.
• What strategies did you use in finding your answer.
• Show your answer is 2 different ways. I would recommend that you create a voicethread of your work.

QUESTION 1.
1.
The main strategies that I've used for the test were
division, multiplication, and addition. I used a ratio
table to organize my work so it would be easier for
people to understand. It's a really good tool to use when
your doing a project like this. (:

____________________________________


















4 con't.
Since I already knew what 12 cups equaled,
I just divided that by 2 because half of 12 is 6.
Then I divided everything else by 2 to get the
ingredients and price, as you can see above. :]

Question One

(a) The strategies that i used for this test were multiplication and division. (a2) I used multiplication to figure out how to get from 2 2/5 to 12. That helped me find out how to solve the other ingredients. The division helped me solve the answer to the ingredients for the 1/2 cup.


(b) I could of used ratio tables, but i didn't. If i did use them, i'd use them to find out the answers for the costs and the cups of ingredients.


(c) Since you can get from 2 2/5 to 12 pretty easily, i would just use the information from the 12 cup container and divide the answers by two, since you can get from 12 to 6 by dividing 12 by two.

(d) These are the three other values that i chose to do, and this is how i would use a ratio table to solve them.

Question Four

4. Your last question deals with pizza. You need to explain which group gets the largest portion of pizza. All student groups get the same sized pizzas. It is up to you to cut them up so that they are shared equally.


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?
Group 1 got 3/4 of the pizza each.
Group 2 got 4/5 of the pizza each.
Group 3 got 5/6 of the pizza each.
Group 4 got 7/8 of the pizza each.

Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
i think group four gets the largest amount of pizza becuase they got small slices but more of them.

Show how you found your answer in 2 different ways.


What strategies did you use in finding your answer.
We used circles (pizzas) and cut them into the amount of kids there were.

Show your answer is 2 different ways. I would recommend that you create a voicethread of your work.

> Question One
1 . What strategies were needed?
The strategies that I used to correct my test were ratio tables, multiplying & dividing .
2 . How did you use these strategies?
On my real test, I regret that I thought that the only strategy that could be used was multiplying . Because when I saw that 2 2/5 x 5 was 12 (cups) , I just multiplied everything else by 5 , then I couldn't work with decimals so I didn't do the 1/2 cup question . I should have put everything in fraction form so it would look simpler .
3 . How could you of used these strategies.
I should have used more of dividing & ratio tables. if i could find out what 12 cups was by multiplying , i could have found out what 1/2 cup was by dividing . And to get there easily I should have used ratio tables to show my work more clearly .
4 . How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table.


5 . Find 3 other values that could be solved using the same ratio table. Find the $$ of your new container sizes.

>Question 2
You are going to create a voice thread explaining the strategies you used on your test. You need to choose 4 out of the 6 questions.



> Question 3
Today in class we reviewed the 6 strategies from the RACE Investigation. They were

• Equivalence
• Fractions show operations
• Ratio Tables (Proportional Reasoning)
• Measurement
• Partial Products or the Distributive Property
• The Whole Matters
  
• Friendly Fractions

Create a voice thread or write and use pictures to describe how you would uses those strategies to explain how far the two students would have run if Mark ran 7/8 and Rachel ran 11/12 of the RACE course.

+ For the first strategy i used pictures and fractions to get to the answer.
+ For the second strategy i used money to get to the answer . I changed the pizzas into dollars . So if there are 3 pizzas , its changed to $3.00 . Then , you divide the pizza into the people .

* How much pizza does each student get in the different groups?
* Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
-----> The 4th group had the largest portion of pizza .

In class today Mr. Jerema gave us questions.
He wrote on the board :
- 1/2 of 36 =
- 1/4 of 36 =
- 1/8 of 36 =
- 5/8 of 36 =

To make things simpler, i just switched the question into an easier form.
- 36 divided by (1/2) 2 = 18
- 36 divided by (1/4) 4 = 9
- 36 divided by (1/8) 8 = 4.5

It was easy to find out what 1/4 and 1/8 because 1/4 is just half of 1/2 . so if 1/2 = 18 . Then 18 divided by 2 = 9 (1/4) . Then 1/8 is half of 1/4 . So 9(1/4) divided by 2 = 4.5 (1/8).

The 5/8 question was harder but you have to make it into a simpler form .
5/8 don't go nice together so you make it into 4/8 . Since 4/8 is another way of saying 1/2 , you get the answer that you got for the first question which was 18 .
Then , since you only have 1/8 left , again you just get the answer you got for the third question , which was 4.5 .

So basically , you're just adding question 1 & 3 together to get question 4 .
So the answer is (18 + 4.5 =) 22.5 .
