chapter 1:



adding integers (tanka)



adding integers.

its not that hard to do.

with zero pair and,

positive with negative

it will become easier.



subtracting integers (diamante, pattern two)



subtraction.

hard, tricky

decreasing, subtracting, diminishing.

take away, put together

increasing, adding, combining.

addition.



partitive division (haiku)



how much in each group?

positive and negative

tricky but easy



quotitive division (tanka)



with both integers,

on more kind of division..

is the quotitive.

how many groups are in it?

used in quadrant one and three.





chapter 2:

Mr. Casey: hey kid, nice play today.

kid: hey Mr. Casey. thanks

Mr. Casey: what's wrong ? you seem sad. tell me about it.

kid: oh yeauh, well. my coach said i can't play for the coming up championships. until i boost up my math grades .

Mr. Casey: what do you need help on ? i can help you for sure. i was a top student in math before.

kid: nice . i have a couple of questions, that im really confused of. first is n+3-5n+12 and i got negative 6n+15.

Mr. Casey: thats wrong first you have to combine the like terms which is n-5n and 3+12 so try it .

kid: okay . n-5n first thats easy . its 4n now, 3+12 is 15 0then its now 4n+15. oh my god , combinig like terms is so easy . but i still cant do distributive property 2+4 open bracket 3n+8 close brackets? and i got 12n+10?

Mr. Casey: oh, your dealing with brackets here. well 12n+10 is wrong you have to do the brackets first .and to do that , you multiply 4 by each number inside the brackets.
kid: oh, then it go like 4 times 3n= 12n and 4 times 8=32 then together it should look like 12n+32+2 then you add 32+2=34 and the total answer is 12n+34?

kid: oh, then it go like. 4 times 3n= 12n and 4 times 8=32 then together it should look like 12n+32+2 then you add 32+2=34 and the total answer is 12n+34?

Mr. Casey: ahhh , yes i know you can do it. now go make your math grades high and play that championship well i gotta go, see ya

kid: yeah , thank you so much Mr. Casey. you made everything seem so easy. ahh im going to go rock that championships down. YEAH . your the best.


Pay it Forward

We watched a movie at school called Pay it Forward. The message in the movie is that one person can make a difference - but can someone really make a difference? We don't know, that's why I'm going to do a project; I'll Pay it Forward. We have to do one act of kindness this holiday. So who should I help? I should help my little brother. I saw he had a hard time reading. What am I going to do? I decided to help him read. Where am I going to do this? I was thinking about a quiet place, where no one could interrupt when he was reading. When am I going to do this? I would help him everyday over the holidays so he will get it right and improve.



















Here is a picture of me helping him.

I've been helping him ever since the beginning of the holidays. He improved and got better at reading. He was happy that I helped him and I was too. He asked what to do in return I said, "Pay it Forward." He didn't know what Pay it Forward was so I told him. I said I help him and he has to help someone else and they help someone and so on. He told me that is too big of a job but I said it could be anything simple. I told him you could Pay it Forward when your older but don't forget the idea. He was stunned at first then thought about it, he told me he liked the idea that he would Pay it Forward.


So can one person make a difference? I believe one person can make a difference. If you can find the time to make someone feel happy that is something huge, you just made a difference. When the person asks what to do in return tell them to Pay it Forward. When that happens, it will go on and on and on. So yes, one person CAN make a difference and WILL.

We were given an assignment that relates to the movie pay it forward. Students are suppose to do one act of kindness. Then answering the following questions.

1) Who are you going to help?

2) What are you going to do?

3) Where are you going to do this?

4) When are you going to do this?

For Pay it Forward, I'm going to help my parents and my brother. For my parents I will make them cofee and then attach a note on it that will make them smile. After, I'm going to help my brother do his math homework. I'm planning to do both at home. I will try to help my brother with his homework everyday.





Reflecting

1) What happened?

2) How did you feel?

3) How did the person/ people react?

4) Did you ask the person/ people involved to pay it forward? How did the person/ people react to this?

Pay it forward did work. I made my parents smile. Also I helped my brother finish his math homework. It felt really good making someone smile, and to help them with something.They acted really surprised, and happy at the same time. I asked my parents and my brother to pay it forward. And they said yes.


Can one person make a difference? Yes ofcourse! You just need to have an idea that could change the world and put it in to action. While doing what you need to do, you need to believe in yourself, have courage, persevere, and hope that it would work. And possibly something as big as pay it forward starts. Then you would wonder why? Well this is what I think about. When you help a person, it makes them feel better. Then they will have the courage to make someone feel better too.

I want to talk about algebra. We did some work and a test about algebra but the most exiting thing is we make a movie about algebra. We had make a movie about algebra. we use only two question to make the movie and also make charaters I want to tell u about that.......
those question are....
n+3-5n+12
and one character help another character to solve the question
first character have wrong answer, the answer is 4n+15 and another character help first character to find the mistake for this answer and the answer is -4n+15.
the next question is 2+4(3n+8) and first character did this question wrong and the second character again help first character to found the correct answer and the correct answer is 12n+34.
isn't that great to make a movie and we really enjoy it!!!

Claire:Hello


Shaine: Heyy


Claire:Can you help me with my Algebra question?


Shaine:Okay!!


Claire:Here is the question, n+3-5n+12.


Shaine:That's easy you just have to follow the rules of combining algebraic expressions.


Claire:Ok!


Shaine:And remember that we can combine only similar terms by adding or subtracting their numerical coefficient, and you have to follow the rules in addition and subtraction of integers.


Claire:Okay


Shaine:Here are the Steps to do this n-5n+12+3, so by subtracting n-5n you get -4n and by adding 12 and 3 you get 15 so you get -4n+15, n which is also known as 1n and 5n are similar terms because they both have the same literal coefficient which is n.


Claire:Okay!!


Shaine:Combining the numerical coefficient 1 and -5 will give us -4 then you have to combine the constants +12 and +3 and this will give us +15 therefore n-5n+12+3= -4n+15.


Claire:Okay thanks!!


Shaine: I'll give you another question, 2+4(3n+8) and explain it.


Claire: We have to use distributive law of multiplication that is to multiply 4 to the the terms inside the brackets. 4(3n+8) → 12n+32, so you have to multiply 4 and 3n that gives you 12n and 4 times 8 that gives you 32 and now you have to distribute 4 to each term inside the brackets and that gives us 2+12n+32 and combining similar terms 12+32+2 and by adding 32 and 2 we get 34 so the answer is 12n+34.


Shaine:See it was easy right?


Claire:Thanks!!

Yesterday we had math test,ALGEBRA.

This are the example for the Algebra and I'll put 3 example.

3x+2(5x-7)

bring down 3x then solve 2(5x-7) the answer is 10x-14 put them together and it will look like this,

3x+10x-14 then make the bucket 3x+10x=13x then bring down -14 again and equals to,

13x-4.

A number is divided by seven and then decreased by nine.

n divided by 7-9 or n/7-9.

Six less than a number divided by 4 is 25.

6-n divided by 4=25

That's the 3 example.

For the next scribe is Carlos.

Tim: ok hold on give me a few minutes.
Bob: ok then.
Tim: ok the answer is -6n+15.
Bob: sorry but thats worng.
Tim: WHAT???
Bob: take a few minutes to figure out the right answer.
Tim: ok now where did i go wrong ummmm?
Tim: i add the n to the -5n but i should of subtracted the n from the -5n so it should be -4n+15.
Bob: thats right one more to go.
Tim: ok i am ready.
Bob: ok here is you next question 2+4{3n+8}.
Tim: ok ummmmmm? This is a much harder question give me a few minutes.
Bob: ok ill wait.
Tim: ok i got it its 12n+10.
Bob: wrong.
Tim: WHAT WHY?
Bob: take a few minutes to figure it out ok.
Tim: ok where did i go wrong, ummmmmm?
Tim: i know i forgot to multiply 8 by 4, then add the extra 2, which would make it 34 so the answer world be 12n+34.
Bob: yah good job Tim.
Tim: but i got all the questions wrong?
Bob: but you fix them by finding you mistakes and thats what math is about learning from your mistakes and don't forget that ok.
Tim: ok i won't forget it well i have to go now bye.

MATH TEST

Today in class we had a math test, on combining like terms, algebra .

These are some examples that we did on the test.

6x-(-3x) + 2x-9

6x+ (+3x) + 2x-9

6x + 3x + 2x -9
= 11x - 9


3x + 2(5x-7)

3x + 10x - 14

3x + 10x -14
= 13x -14


A number is divided by seven and then decreased by nine.

n (division sign) 7 - 9


Six less than a number divided by 4 is 25

n-6
__
4 = 25


I choose Alwin Tabbernakk for the next scribe post.

On Friday we didn't really do anything because
there was a charity presentation going on during our
math period. So we had to stay at the back on the computers
and play one of the math games on the Sargent park blog.
We got to play either battleship


Or this matching game


and we had to write, and answer 10 questions from the game
into our notebooks. Then before the class ended, the presentation
was over and we went back to the smart board and he told us
how to do the next chapter in our poetry.

That is all we did in class.
For next scribe i choose Francis A.

Today in class we covered all of our homework from yesterday. After, Mr.Harbeck assigned us pages 5 and 23. In page 5, we only had to fill in the blank from 1-8. Which were A,R,Y,S,O,E,I,and D. Then try to fill up some letters in the statement box.

One example:


Next, page 3. All Mr.Harbeck assigned us to do on this page is to simplify each question then fill out the statement below.

One example:

Sorry if my pictures were too big, I couldn't seem to take out the white space.
That is all we did in class because we had our presentations to rehearse.

Today Mr. Harbeck taught us about distributive property. Mr. Harbeck assigned page 7 for homework. I' m going to show some examples and how you solve them.

Here is an example of an expression that we needed to answer.
Questions like this can have more than two terms in the brackets.
Here are four other examples about distributive property.

This question says -3 times the sum of a number subtract 4.
This one says 4 times the sum of 6 minus 3 multiply a number plus a number.
This one says -2 multiply the sum of 2 times a number minus 3 plus 6.
This last one says 2 multiply the sum of a number plus 6 minus 2 add 12
Thanks for reading. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.
The next person i choose to do the scribe is Leo.

Hello everyone Today in class Mr.H taught us more about variables,constant, and terms

Here is some Examples:

Variable

t, a, n, x

Constant

+9+6-4-3

Terms

Then we have some homewoek from the pink sheet.

Here is some example questions:

Always remeber to circle then regroup.

here is some more..

For this question all you need to remember is that You always follow the integer rules is you see a negative or positive sign in a Algebra questions like this.

One more thinh is that you always take the sign when regrouping.

Naruto : Actually yes sir i do

Naruto : is the answer negative6 n+15? for question n+3minus5+12

Mr.1 : actually it is wrong the answer is negative4n+15

Naruto : How did you get that?

Mr.1 : First you regroup it so that the variable is with the variable like this and 5n+12 then i added the varriable and plus negative 5n which equaled 6n because the n is still counted as a number then i added the posivitive 3 to positive 12 which was 15 so my answer would be -4n+15

Naruto : oh okay i get it now

Mr.1 : do you have anymore work that you dont get Naruto

Naruto : um question #2 is the answer 12n+10?

Mr. 1 : actually it is not wanna answer it again?

Naruto : sure

Naruto : well first i rearange the positive 2

Naruto : then i multiply the four to the brackets then i multiplied 3 to 8 which equaled to 24

Naruto : then the 2 at the end to the 24 because it has no variable and equaled to 26 then the answer of 12n+26

YOMAMA:Hey Weezy whatcha doing?

Weezy:Oh nothing just trying to study for my math test tomorrow.

YOMAMA:Oh really do you need any help?

Weezy:Well on this question n+3-5n+12 do you know it? i don't really get it.


YOMAMA:hmmm.. oh i think its -6n+15 im pretty shure.

Weezy:oh really how, did you get it?

YOMAMA:oh well first I regrouped it so that the variable is with the variable like this, n-5n+3+12.

Weezy:oh okay.

YOMAMA:Then i added the variables together like this, n+-5n which equaled, -6n, because the n still counted as a number which was one.

Weezy:Oh i think im catching on.

YOMAMA:then i added the positive 3 to positive 12 which was 15. So my answer would be -6 +15.

Weezy:Oh i get it now thanks alot ive been having a hard time in algebra

YOMAMA:no problem if you need help on anymore just tell me.

Weezy:Well there is one more.


YOMAMA:Oh really which one?

Weezy:Oh um this one its, 2 + 4(3n+8)


YOMAMA:Oh that one is really easy.

Weezy:oh really can u help me then?


YOMAMA:Oh well the answer is 12n + 10.

Weezy:oh but how did you get that because tomorrow is the test and the teacher said this question is gonna be on the test.


YOMAMA:Oh first i rearanged the +2 to the back like this 4 (3n+8)+2

Weezy:oh ok


YOMAMA:then i had to multiply the four to the numbers in the brackets like this, 4 times 3n Which equals 12n because you always have to bring the variable. then i multiplied 3 to 8 which equaled 24. Then i added the 2 at the back to the 24 because, it had no variable. Which equaled 26. you get the answer of 12n +26

Weezy:Oh really that sounds so easy. but that isn't the answer you told me earlier.


YOMAMA:OH! you are right the first answer i told you was wrong. sorry, but do you understand how to answer it?

Weezy:Oh it 's ok, and ya i get it thanks a lot!

Teacher:You're here because you're failing math!
Student:What! How am I failing math?
Teacher:There were two questions on the test that was worth a lot of marks. They were n+3-5n+12. The other one is 2+4(3n+8). The answer to the first question is -4n+15. The answer to the second question is 12n+34.
Student:Well, I thought i answered those questions right.
Teacher:I think you should take time on answering these kinds of questions because they can be a bit tricky.
Student:But, i know answered them right.
Teacher:Well, to have answered them right you should've circled the terms first, rewrite the question next, and then answer the question.
Student:Oh!
Teacher:You should've really double checked your answers. You also forgot to show your work and maybe that's where you made your mistake.
Student:Well i know how to do it in my head.
Teacher:It's a good thing to know how to answer it in your head but you could still show your work on the sheet so the teachers know how you got your answer.
Student:Is this all you need me here for.
Teacher:Yeah, that's all. You can go now.
Student:Well just to tell you, after what you told me, i think i should study more.
Teacher:Well, good for you. Have a nice weekend.
Student:See ya, i have a whole weekend ahead of me.

Chapter 1: Integer Poetry





Adding Integers: Picture

















































Subtracting integers: Haiku



minus, decreasing



when subtracting integers,



add the opposite







Quotative Division: Free Verse










Quotative Division,



is not like addition.



Everyone knows that,



except for a rat.



There is a plan,



so we can,



do Quotative Division.



Only use the same sign,



draw a picture.



How many integers



are in an integer?



You found the quotient,



your independent!












Partitive Division: Free Verse

Partitive Division,
can be so very tricky,
but if you use it properly,



it will be less sticky.



if you learn how,



and come across a question,



you'll get through it easily,



and Partitive Division is what you'll be best in.



Try an integer,



such as positive eighteen.



Cut it into six groups,



and you'll get positive three.






If you followed,



the steps I told you,



you'll find the quotient,



and you can say "I know it!"







The Rule for multiplying integers: Free Verse










Multiplying an odd,



amount of negatives,



the product is negative.






Multiplying an even,



amount of negatives,



the product is positive.

The First video:







Carolina: I love this restaurant, Algebritic.
Daniel: Me too.
Carolina: What do you want?
Daniel: I’ll have a pie.
Carolina: Only a pie?
Daniel: Well it’s free if you can answer this question.
Carolina: What question?
Daniel: n+3-5n+12
Carolina: Oh. But you are not good at math you failed this year. You are going to summer school.
Daniel: You didn’t have to say that out loud and I was hoping you could answer the question for me instead of you paying an awful lot of money.
Carolina: It’s summer; don’t make me do your dirty work for you, besides I’ll just pay for it instead.
Daniel: 10 dollars for a piece of pie, go ahead if you want then.
Carolina: 10 dollars for one piece of pie?!
Daniel: Well yeah, we could just answer the question.
Carolina: Okay then but you try first, it’ll help you with your math skills if you try it, if you get it wrong, I’ll answer it for you, deal?
Daniel: Deal.
Carolina: First of all, you combine like terms, try doing it by your self first and see what you did wrong. The question is n+3-5n+12.
Daniel: Okay…I’m done.
Carolina: What did you get when you combined like terms?
Daniel: -6n+15
Carolina: No, you’ve got it all wrong, that’s the wrong answer.
Daniel: I’m not wrong!
Carolina: No Daniel, you are wrong. Walk me through, what did you do?
Daniel: Okay, I combined like terms like you said, n-5n and 3+12. N-5n is –6n and-
Carolina: See, that’s where you messed up.
Daniel: What? I was taught to do that though.
Carolina: You added instead of doing subtraction. N-5n is –4n.
Daniel: No, it can’t be, I’m…Right.
Carolina: Shhh, it’s okay, everyone makes mistakes. Picture n as 1.
Daniel: I already know that, I just don’t understand integers.
Carolina: What is 1-5?
Daniel: -4
Carolina: Exactly, all of the numbers and letters are screwing you up, just think of it the way I asked you.
Daniel: Okay, I’m starting to get it now.
Carolina: Good, you’ll do well.
Daniel: Thanks for helping me.
Carolina: No problem! Now lets get that pie!











Here is the second movie:







Daniel: So what are you getting?
Carolina: I don’t know what is there?
Daniel: Take a look at the menu.
Carolina: Okay…I guess I’ll have some fried chicken with fries.
Daniel: But there is another integer question.
Carolina: Ohhh, not again.
Daniel: The question is 2 + 4(3n+8)
Carolina: Oh no! Not again!
Daniel: I’ll answer for you if you don’t wa-
Carolina: Nah, you might get it wrong again.
Daniel: Fine then.
Carolina: Okay, I’ve got it, 12n + 10.
Daniel: No, that’s wrong!
Carolina: No, it’s not, I’m smarter than you!
Daniel: Yeah I know, but you make mistakes sometimes.
Carolina: Fine then but I doubt I made a mistake, show me Mr. I know more!
Daniel: Sorry but I’m just helping, anyways, for this question I use Distributive Property, 4(3n) is 12n.
Carolina: Yes, I know, I don’t see what I did wrong though.
Daniel: Wait let me talk. After that, 4(8) is 32. Son now we have 2+12n+32 we combine like terms, 2+32 is 34. And the way we simplify it, it turns out to be 34+12n.
Carolina: Man, where did you learn that all of a sudden, Daniel, I’m supposed to be the smarter one? But you were right for once. I’m not the best in Distributive Property, I didn’t get it but now, after you explained it, I’m starting to get it.
Daniel: Well, you helped me, so I helped you.
Carolina: Who said you helped me?
Daniel: Well, I did. You know, just because your smarter than me doesn’t mean you have to be all rude.
Carolina: Stay calm, I was just joking.
Daniel: Oh sorry about that.
Carolina: No problem. But I’m getting hungry now lets order our food!








Chapter 3 One Step Equation Solving




The four questions I choose were:




-Additive n+3=9
-Subtractive n-4=3
-Multiplicative 2n=10
-Divisive n/2=5






Here is my additive picture.



n=3=9































Here is my subtractive picture.



n-4=3

























Here is my multiplicative picture.


2n=10

























Here is my divisive picture.


n/2=5

Chapter 1 : Integer poetry


Adding Integers - Haiku

Adding integers
Positives and negatives
Cancel each other


Partitive Division - Free Verse

Partitive division
Is like dealing cards
How many equal parts
Are in two groups
When we have
Negative six?


Subtracting Integers - Tanka

It does not exist
Instead, add the opposite
Then add normally
Subtracting integers is
Not hard now that you know how


Quotative Division - Haiku

How many groups of
Positive seven are in
Positive fourteen?

Rules for Multiplying - Free Verse

When multiplying integers
And there is an even amount of
Negative integers, or no negative integers
The product is positive

If there is an odd amount
Of negative integers
The product is negative

Thanks for reading!







Chapter Two:

Combining like terms and the Distributive Property


Hi! Just so you know(if you didn't already), my characters are Sakka and Momo(I know he's a lemur) from Avatar. Also(again, if you didn't already know) Sakka in a guy.


Sakka: Hi Momo!

Momo: Hey Sakka!

Sakka: Hey Momo, I was wondering.... Is n+3-5n+12 simplified, -6n+15?

Momo: AHAHAH! Ha ha ha lol ha ha!

Sakka: Waaa! If I'm wrong just tell me!

Momo: You're wrong.

Sakka: Waaa!What did I do wrong?

Momo: You added the positive n to the negative 5n instead of canceling(zero pairs).

Sakka: Well then, what should I have done?

Momo: Well first you regroup it. It would then be n-5n+3+12.

Sakka: Ok...
Momo: Then you add the variables and the integers. So n-5n would be -4n, and 3+12 is 15. So it would be -4n+15.
Sakka: Wow! You can solve anything!
Mom: Well yes. Almost...

Sakka: Can you help me with this question? 2+4(3n+8).
Momo: Well first I multiply the 3n and the 8 by 4 because the 4 was touching the bracket. Then I brought down the two and got 2+12n+32.
Sakka: That makes sense.
Momo: Next I combine the like terms, so it will be 12n+2+32.
Sakka: Yeah...
Momo: Which means my final simplified answer is 12n+34.
Sakka: What?! How did you get that? I thought it was 12n + 10?
Momo: Oh, you must have forgotten to multiply the 8. Its ok.
Sakka: Please don't tell Katara.
Momo: sigh, fine.

Thanks for reading!












Chapter 3


Hi there! These are the questions I chose to do:


  • Additive - 6+n = 9

  • Subtractive - -3 = -6+n


  • Multiplicative - 2n = 10


  • Divisive - n/3 = 4

Remember, what you do to one side, you must do to the other.


Additive - 6+n = 9





Subtractive - -3 = -6+n






Multiplicative - 2n = 10




Divisive - n/3 = 12
