During today's math period, our class had a little conversation about “logic.” I think my definition for logic is when you learn or know something you comprehend it in your way with your knowledge. For an example, when you solve a problem you use your problem solving way to get the answer.
The fun part in this period was using our logic to solve a number puzzle called ‘stoku’. The way to play this game is you have 9 columns in the paper and you have to fill out each small boxes without making them repeat. In one column you can write the numbers 1-9. I used to play this game on my phone, so I think I got to understand the rules easier. First it was kind of hard to figure out what number should fit in, but later it took me less amount of time to solve the problem. In the middle I got stuck one time, in the part when I was writing the numbers in I was sure that I wrote the right number in it, but with some reason, it was not right. So I had to do again. finally, later I figured the whole column!

For the Personal measurement conversions, I measured many objects in loads of different ways. The goal for this was try to show as many measurements as possible. The objects were, your height, your weight, and your water bottles volume, Your age, and choice. I chose to measure my foot for the choice part.The measurement tools that I used were the meter stick and the scale.
First, I measured my height. The fun part was changing it into different units. I measured it into mm, cm, m, km, and a customary way. Measurements:1520mm, 152cm, 1.52m, 0.00152km, and 4.987f. Next, I measured my weight. Measurement: 390000mg, 3900g, 39kg, 136.5oz. (There are more, but I think it will be too much for a blog.) I think I could improve some parts. This time I got a little help from the internet, but next time I want to try it by myself. In math time we learned about capacity. So, me, Minh Anh, and Olesya chose an object to measure the capacity of it. We chose ‘ how many sandboxes could fit in the swimming pool.’ We grabbed four meter sticks and went down to measure those objects. First, we went to measure the sandbox and estimated that about 59 will fit. We found out that the sandbox wasn’t an exact rectangle. So, we estimated that it is a rectangle.
The measurement: length-4.47m, width-4.47m, height-0.36m. The volume of the sandbox: 4.47x4.47x0.36=7.193124m Next we went to measure the swimming pool. Also, we had a problem. The swimming pool’s height was different. It got deeper at the end so we decided to only measure the shallow side. Luckily I knew the length of the swimming pool because I swam there every day. I asked the life-gard and I found out some information about the pool. The measurement: length-25m, width-14m, shallow end-1.2m The volume:420 m3 After that we came to our class and showed Mr. Pug what we had done. Mr. Pug told us that we can we can get the average and make the answer more accurate. The average of the height of the swimming pool was 1.5m. The volume: 25x14x1.5=525m3 So the final answer is 75 sand box fits in a pool. During our measuring unit, we did an activity called Olympic measurement. So baisically, there is a slide that we write information in it. The information was measuring the sport that we chose and measure it in many different ways.
I wrote down what is the appropriate unit for each measurement. I was finding the accurate messurments In math time our class worked on how much time you are spending on a device and show it in many ways.
So my answer is... I spend 2 hours in my device in one day. One week: 14 hours one month (30 days): 60 hours one year (12 month and 365 days) If I predict I live until 100 then I will have to live 90 more years. 90 years: 180 hours In this process I was good at multiplying numbers. However I need to practice on big number's division. Question: Amanda was the only one who had enough money, so she ended up paying 200,000 dong of the total price. The other 3 advisors only paid 30,000 each. Also, Amanda wasn't really hungry, because she had already eaten dinner. Taryn was just kind of hungry because she had a salad earlier. Suzanne doesn't like pepperoni. Mr. Pug hasn't eaten anything all day. How should they split the pizza?
My answer was I guess Ms. Amanda paid the most so she would eat at least 2 pieces and Mr. Pug is the most hungry person so he would eat 4 pieces. Lastly, Ms. Taryn is kind of hungry so she would eat 2 pieces and Ms. Suzanne doesn't like pepperoni so she would eat none. After I saw some peoples answers as well I thought I kind of of want to change my idea. one of the comment that I had red threre were - Ms. Suzanne can eat the pizza with out the pepperonis. so I think l am going to use that idea as well. This is the math that I did in the first semester. We learned about Place Value math. I wrote the definition and how I solved the problem in the white board and took a picture and put it in the slides. I think I can improve on writing more explains and add details. Actually I enjoyed doing this because it made me challenge my self and made me search some information.
