Betty's Snack Mix

2 and 2/5 = $3.60

Ingredients:

- 1 1/5 cups of spicy shreddies

- 4/5 cups of peanuts

- 2/5 cups of pretzels

12 cups of Betty's Snack Mix

- 6 cups of spicy shreddies is 1/2 of the mixture (12 divided by 2 is equals to 6 cups of spicy shreddies)

- 4 cups of peanuts is 1/3 of the mixture (12 divided by 3 is equals to 4 cups of peanuts)

- 2 cups of pretzels is 1/6 of the mixture (12 divided by 2 is equals to 2 cups of pretzels)

How much it cost?

12 cups = 12/1 then I change it by 5 by multiplying it by 5 and it equals 60/5. I multiply 30 by 60 and the answer is 1800 and it's the same as $ 18.00

1/2 cup of Betty's Snack Mix

- 12 is the same is 3/6 = 6/12

- 1/4 cup of spicy shreddies is 3/12 of the mixture

- 1/6 cup of peanuts is 2/12 of the mixture

- 1/12 cup pretzels

How much it cost?

I multiply 5 and 15 and I got 75. 1/2 cup of Betty's Snack Mix cost $0.75

A time for Scribes

Mr. Kuropatwa introduced me to the world of Scribe Posts. It is an essential part of the Grade 8 Math Classroom. You will be expected to write one scribe post every 30 classes or about 4 a year. That doesn't sound like to much does it.

A Scribe post is

The assignment is simply to post a brief summary of what happened in class each day. A different student is responsible for the daily scribe post and they end their post by choosing the next scribe. The first scribe is a volunteer. The teacher's daily involvement is limited to updating a post called The Scribe List which is at the top of the links list in the sidebar of the class's blog.

To complete a scribe post the student must

Write a brief summary of what we learned in class today. Include enough detail so that someone who was away sick, or missed class for any other reason, can catch up on what they missed. Over the course of the semester, the scribe posts will grow into the textbook for the course; written by students for students. Remember that as each of you write your scribe posts. Ask yourself: "Is this good enough for our textbook? Would a graphic or other example(s) help illustrate what we learned?" And remember, you have a global audience, impress them.

Here are some scribe posts that have made The Scribe Post Hall of Fame.

When you are done your scribe post choose another student to be the scribe and label your post scribepost.
