Angelo's Pay It Forward

Part 1

The movie Pay it Forward is a movie an 11 year old boy named Trevor. He tries to make a difference in the world for the better, after receiving an assignment given by his social studies teacher, Mr. Simonet. His plan is to do something nice for three people. Instead of paying Trevor back, the three people have to "pay it forward" to three other people each. It shows that the group made a big difference on people who receive the favor and to those who were paying it forward. By the end of the movie, the "Pay it Forward" group grew really big as more people paid their job to Trevor who died from a fight.

Part 2

Our pay it forward act was to donate clothes and toys. We chose this activity because some people can’t afford the the stuff we have access to everyday. So the more we donate, they will have more access to the stuff we have today. We helped all the people without clothes or toys. We did this project on December 19, 2010.

Part 3

Our act of kindness went very well. We had to wait a few minutes outside for people to answer the door though. We felt very happy and feel like doing another project like this again. The person reacted maturely, and was smiling brightly. We were going to ask the people to “Pay It Forward” but we couldn’t because the thrift store was going to close soon.

Part 4

The "Pay It Forward" activty is important because lots of people without homes can't have anything wealthy people can. Our act of kindness helped people without clothes and toys. It even helped them celebrate Christmas because of the toys we gave them. It also prepare them for the winter because we gave them clothing. They are lucky we gave them coats because winter is very cold.

RATIOS
Two Term Ratios
compares two quantities measured in the same units.

EXAMPLE: A:B. 7:13. 7 to 13.

Three Term Ratios
compares three quantities measured in the same units.

EXAMPLE:A:B:C, 7:13:5, 7 to 13 to 5

RATE
Rate
Compares two quantities measured in different units.

Unit Rate
A rate in which the second term is one.

Unit Price
A unit rate used when shopping.

EXAMPLE: $5.99/100 gallons

Proportion
A relationship that says two ratios or two rates are equal.

it can be written in fraction form.

EXAMPLE: use it to find cost of 15 donuts if 5 cost $0.10
5 / $0.10 = 15 / $x ; x= $0.30 ( multiply 5 by 3 and $0.10 by 3 )

Angelo's Math Profile

Hi, my name is Angelo and I have grade eight math. I like math because it's my best subject. The best thing that I ever did in math class is playing a game like spinning a spinner to find the experimental probability.

Last year when I was a grade seven, the best unit I studied is integers because it's easy and I did good on quiz and test. The unit that made me struggle is fractions because I get sometimes confused on changing it to a mix number or to improper fraction.

To not struggle much, I need to not talk muchI want to be a better math student. To do this I think I need to be a more responsible by asking questions to my classmates or teacher if I don't understand something. Also I need to pay more attention to what the teacher says and not to talk much about non related to the subject.

This year I would like to learn about algebra. In grade seven I learn how to create a blog. My favorite blog is about the best measure of central tendency. I picked this because I have a video and picture. I also picked this cause I think it's my best blog last year. The blogging help me become a better student because when I forgot the homework's page I can look at the blog and check it. This year I like to play a math game or a math problem in a computer because it helps me alot when I'm doing extra work.
