PE 9 Strength, Stretches + Goals

Strengths:

My strength in this class is that I can work with other people without a problem. When I get put with new people I can introduce myself and I can do the activities with them. I understand that physical activities are important for my physical well being now and in the future. I can also show fair play, safe play and leadership.

Stretches:

Some of my stretches are learning new games/activities and staying engaged in some activities. For an example if I’ve rarely played the game or never it is difficult to stay engaged in that activity. Sometimes understanding the movements can be a bit difficult at times too.

Goals:

My goal moving on is to try to put in more effort into the activities I don’t enjoy. How will I do that? By thinking of the positives of the activity. If i have a hard time understanding movements I can ask for help.

Sway Mercury Presentation

 

Reflection:

  1. What questions did you need to research in order to create your sway? – The questions I chose were basic questions about the element. For an example, “What color is mercury?” and “Who discovered mercury?” My favorite question was “Who discovered mercury?” and it’s my favorite because the answer i got.
  2. What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked through this project? – In this project I used Pexel, Gale, Google, National Geographics etc. Pexel was my favorite tool.
  3. What was the process you used to investigate the topic and how did you verify and cite the information you found? – When I found a source of information, I would go through multiple links and compare the information to the other links. This reassured that the information I found was true. If the other links said different things, I would go to trusted links for an example, National Geographics.
  4. How did the process of completing this challenge go? What could you have done better? – overall i think i did really well in this project. I am proud of my sway and the was I designed it. But what could i have better? I could have came up with more questions or gone in depth of the questions I chose.

Reflection:

The letter N and A were the most complicated for. Why? Because the lines were on an angle which was a bit of a struggle. I decided to start with the first letter S because that would make the most sense in this project. The type of equation i used was linear equations. Why did i use linear equations? Because I understood linear equations the most and I have a better understanding on how to use them. How did I move around the slopes? For an example the letter ‘A’ has 2 different kind of slopes. So, for one side i had to make it negative and the other positive. I changed the width of by choosing a smaller number, same with height. 1 strategy I used was copying the equation and changing a few numbers.

 

Indigenous Exploration Podcast “Living conditions”

Welcome to our living conditions podcast, this podcast was made by Sonali, Selina and Kajal. Our topic was living conditions, but since living conditions falls under a big umbrella we slimmed it down to water conditions and access to proper educati0n.

My experiences while making this assignment was being able to work with people i get along well with. I also had some past experience in 7th grade with Audacity. This made my experience a lot easier since i already knew the basics. I got to communicate with them to create our podcast. I also used a mic for the first time! During the beginning of our podcast, we did research, collected information and used the current knowledge we knew. Then we assigned each other certain parts to connect that research and write a mini paragraph, we uploaded all parts into a word document and color coded it. Purple was mine, blue was Selina’s and green was Kajal’s. That follows up to the final stages and we recorded 90% of the script in 1 day, the next day i got sick so they completed the podcast without me. But all they did was the final recording piece and added background music. During this time i learned that multiple reserves have been on a water boil advisories for 25+ years. That honestly shocked me, 25 years is crazy. The government also postponed the water boil advisory to 2026.

Core competency: Communication

I tied in communication with my learning because i would communicate my ideas to my group and they would give me their perspective of the idea. This helped me learn and have an understanding in another point of view which really helped with my research and ideas.

Adding/ Fractions

Adding fractions!!

1.   3/5 + 9/3 = ?

firstly, you have to make sure your denominators is the same number. to figure this out, you need to find the common multiple.

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21

As you see the first common multiple that comes up is 15. So the first fraction would now be 9/15 (3×3=9 & 5×3=15) The second fraction will now be 45/15. (9×5=45 & 3×5=15) Now we can add. KEEP IN MIND!! denominator never changes when we are adding! 45+9 = 54, Now our answer will be 54/15. Now we reduce to lowest terms! We can divide both numbers by 3 EVENLY! 54 divided by 3 = 18 & 15 divided by 3 = 5. NOW our final answer 18/5

 

2. 3/2 + 4/12 + 1/4 = ?

First we need to find common multiples for the denominators.

2, 4, 6, 8, 1o, 12, 14, 16, 18

12, 24, 36, 48

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

The first common multiple that comes up 12. Now we know all fractions are over 12. The first fraction is now 18/12 (3×6 & 2×6) The second fraction does not require to be changed because the denominator is already 12. The 3rd fraction is now 3/12 (1×3 & 4×3) Now we can add everything together!

18/12 + 4/12 + 3/12 = 25/12 – DENOMINATOR NEVER CHANGES WHEN ADDING/SUBTRACTING! Can this number be reduced? No. Because no number goes into both numbers evenly so 25/12 is your final answer.
