Jomarie's BOB

This BOB is all about how to find the volume and surface area of a cube and a rectangular prism.
Also the net of the 3-D object.


The step to finding out the surface area of a cube.

















The Net





















Example





Surface Area = 6(2cmx2cm)
= 24cm2


The step to finding out the volume of a cube
How to get the volume of a cube:
(LxWxH)


Example


L(2)xW(2)xH(2)
=2x2x2
=8cm3



The step to finding out the surface area of a rectangular prism




















The Net



















Example

Surface Area=


4(2cmx6cm) = 48cm2
+
2(2cmx2cm)
= 8cm2
______________________
56cm2



The step to finding out the volume of a rectangluar prism


(LxWxH)
L(2)xW(2)xH(6)
=2x2x6
=24cm3

Angelo's scribe

Today, Mr Harbeck was away (AWWWWWWWWWWW) so we just did fraction word problems.
I'll show you how I did three of them:



Explanation1: I needed to find out 3/8 of 24, so i first divided 8 to 24. The answer was 3, and that meant 3 is 1/8 of 24. So, to get 3/8 i had to times 1/8 three times. That's why i did 3 times 3.



Explanation2: I needed to find out 3/5 of 125, so i first divided 5 into 125. The answer was 25, and that meant 25 is 1/5 of 125. So, to get 3/5 i had to times 1/5 three times. That's why i did 25 times 3.



Explanation3: I needed to find 7/8 of 160, so i first divided 8 into 160. The answer was 20, and that meant 20 is 1/8 of 160. So, to get 7/8 i had to times 1/8 seven times. That's why i did 20 times 7.

This is how I did my questions. Hope you guys agree!

Hoppietonights (Jon's) 2nd Growing Post











1.What strategies were needed?


I used Ratio table, Multipication, and division(I think).



2.How did you use these strategies?


The Ratio table helped me figure out ingredients and money. Multipication and Division are the master planners behind this plot.



3.Or How could you of used these strategies.


I used this stratagy by using the Multipication and Division with the Ratio table.



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.





1. 2/3 + 1/4 + 2/5 = 40/60 + 15/60 + 24/60 = 79/60 = 1 19/60





2. 6/5 - 11/10= 12/10 - 11/10 = 1/10





3. 3/5 + 2/7 = 21/35 + 10/35 = 31/35





4. 1/6 + 1/9 = 3/18 + 2/18 = 5/18






Equivalence-


I'm figuring out how much miles 7/8 and 11/12 is first.


26Miles


7/8= 4/8=13 Miles


3/8=9 3/4 Miles


1/8=3 1/4 Miles


Add 4/8 and 3/8 together... 7/8=22 3/4 miles





11/12=6/11=13 Miles


5/11=10 5/5 Miles


1/11= 2 1/5 Miles


Add 6/11 and 5/11 together... 11/12=23 5/5



Fractions show operations-


7/8 of 26 means 7/8x26


11/12 of 26 means 11/12x26



Ratio Tables (Proportional Reasoning)-










Measurement -


7/8= 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8=7/8


11/12= 1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12+1/12=11/12



Partial Products or the Distributive Property-


7/8=4/8+3/8=13Miles+9 3/4 Miles= 22 3/4 Miles


11/12=6/11+5/11=13miles+10 5/5 Miles= 23 5/5 Miles



The Whole Matters-


7/8 Both are using 26 miles.


11/12



Friendly Fractions-



1/8=3 1/4 Miles


7x1/8=7/8


7x3 1/4= 23 5/5





1/12= 2 1/5 Miles


11x1/12= 11/12


11x2 1/5= 23 5/5














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




In group 1 4 kids got 3 pieces of pizza each. In group 2 5 kids got 4 pieces each. In group 3 6 kids got 5 pieces each. In group 4 8 kids got 7 pizzas each.
Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?




Group 4 got the largest portion.
Show how you found your answer in 2 different ways.




I used a Ratio Table and Circles (Pizzas). Another way is I noticed... Group number 2 for example. 4 Pieces each. 5 kids 4 pizzas. Slices it 5 ways evenly (Look at the 5 kids). Then they got 4 each (Look at the 4 pizzas)





What strategies did you use in finding your answer.




Ratio table, Division, and fractions.

Marc's 2nd Growing Post

1. Some strategies that were needed were a ratio table, and division.
2. I used the ratio table by putting down 2 2/5 because thats how big the container was, on the other side I put $3.60 because that's how much 2 2/5 container costs.
3. You could use these strategies because once you find out what one container costs, then you can find any amount you want.

Ouestion 1.)


1.) What strategies were needed?


-The strategies that were needed are a ratio table, dividing , and multyplying.


2.) How did you use these strategies?


-I used these strategies by using the information given on the test and putting it into a ratio table.

For example i used 2 2/5 cups then multiplied by 5 to get 12 cups . For the other side of the ratio table just do the same thing so the price of 2 2/5 cups was $3.60 so then you multiply that by 5 since you multiplied 12 by 5 then you get $18.00.


3.) Or how could you have used these strategies?


-You can use this strategy to find out the other cost's of different sized containers.


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.

1) What strategies were needed?
- The strategies that I used to solve the test are ratio table, multiplication and division
2)
How did you use these strategies?
- I used this strategies by making a ratio table then divide them into half, the first half of it would be the cups while the other half would be the money ($). For Example :


3) Or How could you of used these strategies ?
- You could use these strategies to find different answers
4) How would you figure out the price of the 6 cup bad of Betty's Snack Mix ?

- Since 2 2/5 x5 is 12 for $18.00. I just divided 12 by 2 to get 6 then I did the same thing in the other side (x2) to get how much it is so then 6 cups would be $9.00
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.
Here's what I did ..

1.What strategies were needed?
one strategy is the ratio table.


2.How did you use these strategies?
a.)for the 12 cups, i just multiply 2 2/5 to make it a whole number and when i multiply it by 5 i got 12, so the price should be also multiplied by 5 and the answer is 18.00.

* what did you do to the cups and prices, do it also to the parts.*

3.How could you of used these strategies.
you can use this strategy to find more amount of cups and prices.
4.How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? the answer is in the second picture.

Alexandra's Second Growing Post

Question 1
What strategies were needed?
For me, the strategies that were needed in this test were the ratio table, multiplication, and division.


How did you use these strategies?


By using the ratio table, you can easily figure out how to get the price, and the total amount of the ingredients needed in a given amount of container. The multiplication and division can help too. You can get the unit price and ingredient for a unit by using division. And then if you have the things for a unit, you can get any other numbers that you want by multilying everything by the number you want to get.


Does this confuse you? Here is an example.




Or How could of you used these strategies?


I could have used these strategies to find the amount of the the ingredients that were needed in a 12 cup container. Just like this




How could you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack Mix? Use a ratio table.
















Find 3 other values (amounts) of snack mix that could be solved using the ratio table. Find the new $$ of your new container sizes.


We know that 12 cups of BSM costs $18.oo, the 6 cups costs $9.00 and 1 cup costs $1.50. I used these things to figure out how much it costs when i want to buy 4 cups, 3 cups and 2 cups of BSM. Here's what I did.




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 6 questions.

1. 2/3 + 1/4 + 2/5 =

2. 6/5 - 11/10=

3. 3/5 + 2/7 =

4. 1/6/+1/9 =

5. 5/6 - 1/4 =

6. 3 3/5 - 1 4/5 =

I chose question number 1, 3, 5 and 6.

Here's what I did on the test:

Q1.
1) What strategies were needed?

The strategies needed were a ratio table, and maybe clocks and money.

2) How did you use these strategies?
I didn't really use any of these strategies. To find out the price and ingrediants for 12 cups, first i had to figure out how many times does 2 2/5 go into 12. Once i figured that out i multiplied the price and the ingrediants.


3) or How could you of used these strategies?
I could have used a ratio table. It might have been easier.

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

1. What strategies were needed?




The strategie that were needed is the ratio table.















2. How did you use these strategies?



You take the information that you got from the question. like 2 2/5 you put it on one side then 3.60 on one side if you wanted to find a certain price you multiply or divid it. if you wanted to find $18.00 you would have to multiply it by 5 then you do the same thing to the other side.









3. Or how could you of used these strategies?


You could use these strategies to fingure out different questions.




4. How could you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snake Mix?


I would of took the answer of the question and divided it by 2.















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.
After I divided 6 by 2 i did it to the other side then i dived 6 by two then got 3, then divided 12 by 3 then got 4 then i divided 4 to 2.
I divided 9.00 by 2 then got 4.50. next i divided 18.00 by 3 then got 6 then i divided 6 by 2 then got 3.

Question 1
Use this picture and reflect on your the puppy kibble test.

1) What strategies were needed?
The stratagies that were needed were a ratio table because on one side you can put the price and the other side is the cups.


2) How did you use these strategies?
I didnt really do a ratio table but it is similar.

Like for the 12C, we know that 2 2/5 = $3.60 I just kept adding 2 2/5 to get close to 12. Then whatever answer I got to get to 12 by just adding 2 2/5 repeatedly I did the same thing with the price.

3) Or How could you of used these strategies.
You could use these stratagies with many things like fraction problems.


4) How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix? Use a ratio table
If I use the ratio table I would do 12C = $18.00 (from the test) then under it, it would be 6C = $........

What I would do is divided it 12C by 2 to get 6C because we all know that 6 is half of 12. Then we do the same thing to the price, $18.00 divided it by 2 which equals $9.00. There is your answer.

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.





















Question 2





Question 3





Question 4




Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
I think GroupD got the larger portion of pizza.

What strategies did you use in finding your answer.
I used the clock way.
