Cooking with Fractions #2

Today in math class we baked banana chocolate chip muffins. Things went well because we all worked togther,cooperation,and communication. I had promblems with halfing the fractions for the recipce.Our group won in the group there was Tenay,PJ,Missy,Kiana,and me.I learned how to double and half recipes. How to use Mearsing cups right.I had fun doing this because sometimes just doing math worksheets get boring. Doing this makes a math class fun! I like doing the process because i find it easier then visualsing and diorgrams,Hopefully some day i will get it. When  i use diorgrams and visuualzing i dont always get the right answer so then i have to check it with the process. I cant wait until we do this again!

For Angela

       For Angela

   I think that no one stopped the boys on the bus from doing what they were doing, because they didn’t care. The bus pulled up they got on and the boy was still making fun of them. Maybe they also didn’t want to say anything because they didn’t want to get into it by saying stop. I don’t understand why anyone stooped the boys because if that was happening to me I would  tell them to go away or move.  People probably don’t want to stop it because they also could think the same way. When the boys left the bus one guy threw a penny at the mom and said she’s a drunk.




     They were being racist by saying racist jokes to Angela and her mom. The boys were being selfish by what they were saying. They also never stopped until they got off the bus. I would not feel good about myself anymore The people on the bus didn’t say anything they just stared like nothing was happening. They also don’t care about other people’s feelings. I think that racism will never stop.

Real Life Math:Cooking with Fractions

Today our class baked Apple Crisp.It was really fun because we got to do it as groups and we all worked together.Me Pj Tenay Destany Donovan and Cody were in one group.I like doing this because it was a good experince for learning how to bake Apple Crisp. I also thought that this wasfun because we got to do it with our friends.I never thought we would attcually bake during math.I learned that Team work is the key,also that you do use math in real life.  I think our Apple Crisp Hopefully with turn out. So I can no longer say that we dont because today making Apple Crisp showed me we do.
