Question 1.
1.What strategies were needed?
the strategies that you could use are $, ratio tables, clocks and a number line.


2.How did you use these strategies?
I used division, multiplcation and a ratio table.

3.Or How could you have used these strategies .
I did it the easy way and did a ratio table

4.How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's Snack mix?
well I use a ratio table to figure it out.

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.

A new size of a container would be 18, and I got that by adding the 6 cups and 12 cups I had on the chart.One would be 24 which I got it by timesing 12 by 2.The third would be 3 which i got by dividing 6 cups by 2.

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 2You are going to create a voicethread explaining the strategies you used on your test. You need to choose 4 out of the 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 recommend the following. Choose your 4 questions. On plain pieces of white paper redo them like you did on your test. Make sure your drawings are large enough. Take a picture of them and save them to your desktop. Upload these images to voicethread and embed your voicethread into your blog.At voicethread you need to describe what you did to solve the problems. How did you use clocks, money etc to solve the questions. You need a minimum of 2 comments on each picture.Here is a video explaining how to make a voicethead and embed it into your post. You should have both of these questions done by the end of the weekend.Wednesday December 53.)

Here is your 3rd growing post question.Today in class we reviewed the 6 strategies from the RACE Investigation. They were
Equivalence
Fractions show operations
Ratio Tables (Proportional Reasoning)
Measurement
Partial Products or the Distributive Property
The Whole Matters
Friendly FractionsCreate a voicethread or write and use pictures to describe how you would uses those strategies to explain how far the two students would have run if Mark ran 7/8 and Rachel ran 11/12 of the RACE course.4.

Your last question deals with pizza. You need to explain which group gets the largest portion of pizza. All student groups get the same sized pizzas. It is up to you to cut them up so that they are shared equally.

Group 1 Sally Bob, Gidget and Biff Share 3 pizzas.

Each person gets 3/4 slices of a pizza

Group 2 Stan, Holly, Barry, Ben and Ichkabibble share 4 pizzas.
each person gets 4/5 slices of a pizza

Group 3 Eric, Susy,James, Betty, Veronica and Moose share 5 pizzas.
each person gets 5/6 slice of the pizza
Group 4 Paul, Alex, Chris, Jughead, Archie, Reggie, Mr. Wotherspoon and Midge share 7 pizzas.
each person gets 7/8 slices each
How much pizza does each student get in the different groups?

Which group gets the largest portion of pizza?
group 4 gets the largest portion of pizza.

Patrick's 2nd Growing Post

1.What stragedies were needed?

-You can use ratio tables, clock, money and a double number line

2.How did you use these stragedies?

-I could use the ratio table along with a some division and multiplication

but i didn't use clock, money, money and number line stragedy

3.or How could you use these stragedies

-I stick with the ratio tables because it was the first thing i did. I think ratio table is easy

4.How would you figure out the price of a 6 cup bag of Betty's snack mix? use a ratio table

-The way i got the price of 6 is by dividing 12 by 6

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 1


1. What strategies needed?
The strategy I used was multiplication, division, and ratio tables when I fixed my work.

2. and 3.












4.











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
1. 2/3 + 1/4 + 2/5 =
for question 1 i would use clocks. 2/3 in clocks 20 min, 1/4 in clocks 15 min, and 2/5 in clocks is 24 min. now i add 20+15+24=59 min.

2. 6/5 - 11/10=
For question 2 i would use money. 5/5 in money is 100 cents i added another 20 cents because it would be 6/5. 10/10 in money is 100 cents I added another 10 cents so it can be 11/10 so now 11/10 is 110 cents and 6/5 is 120. Now I add 110+120=230 or in money 4 dollars and 50 cents.

3. 3/5 + 2/7 =
for question 3 it is the double number line below












4. 1/6/+1/9 =
i did nothing

5. 5/6 - 1/4 =
For question 5 I would use clocks. 5/6 is 50 min because 1/6 is 10 min. 1/4 is 15 min so now I add 10+50=60 witch is 1 hour.

6. 3 3/5 - 1 4/5 =
For question 6 I would use money because 3 wholes is is three dollars and 1 whole is one dollar. 3/5 is 60 cents and 4/5 is 80 cents. So now i add 60+80=140 in money that is 2 dollars and 20 cent and now add 1+3+2=5 dollars so now it equals 5 dollars and 20 cents.

David's 2nd Growing Post

Question One:

1. What strategies were needed?
- I just used a large ratio table for this test, but im sure you could use more.

2. How did you use these strategies?
- With a ratio table, whatever you did to one side of it, you had to do to the other to keep it equal. So i put the total amount of the package, shreddies, pretzels, and peanuts, and tried to get the total amount to the correct total. Finding the unit fraction or getting the nuimber to 1 would be a pretty good place to start because once you have 1, you can do anyhting to it and find out easily like 1 x 29348579038570980975279 = 29348579038570980975279.

3. Or How could you have used these strategies.
- Like i said before you could have used more, but i took the easy path and just made a ratio table to answer it. Also because im not so sure about how to do it with clocks, money, or a double numberline. The numbers they gave us weren't that friendly for clocks, or money, and a double numberline gets confusing for this type of question. Its possible but requires to much thinking so i used the plain old ratio table.

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


-As you can see from that ratio table, I put down was 12 was first since I already knew from what i did on the test. Then i divided 12 by 2 to get 6 cups of snack mix and divided the $18 i have over there by 2 also to keep it equivalent.

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.

A new size would be 18, and i got that by adding the 6 cups and 12 cups i had on that chart. Another one would be 24 which i got by multiplying 12 by 2. And the third would be 3 which i got by dividing 6 cups by 2.

Question 1
1. What strategies were needed?
- You could of used Ratio Tables, Clocks, Money and a Double Number Line.

2. How did you use these strategies?
- Well I only used the ratio table strategy along with some division and multiplication but I didn't really use the clock, money and number line strategy.

3. Or How could you of used these strategies
- I could of used the Number Line strategy seeing as it would make more sense than using clocks and money because some of the numbers wouldn't go into it so I could of used the Number Line strategy but I probably wasn't thinking of using it because ratio tables were pretty good for answering most of these questions.

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.

Omg finally finished. Hah and it only took me a few hours (A few hours means 12 hours I started this at about 10 o'clock and finished at around 1 o'clock. It just says 2:35 because that's when I first posted it. But then I edited it and did all the other questions. Seriously I put a lot of effort on this..)

Just want to say one thing before people mark mine: Why does every keep thinking the math work is out of 49? It's out of 54 people. 15+15+10+14=54. So that would make it out of 105 and not 100.

Question 1.
1) The strategies were need?
The strategies that were need to use were either money, ratio table, double number line. or clocks.

2. How did you use these strategies?
I used ratio table to solved my answers.

3) Or how could you have used these strategies?
I dont think theres any better way to solved this problem. Using a ratio table is the best way to do it.

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