I won the lottery!

This project was abut winning $50,000. We had to write a proposal about how we I spend my winnings. I had to use this money wisely because if not Ms. Pulphus(The president of Tech tiger association) would decline my proposal. We had to spend this money in two days. Spend every single cent of the $50,000. I bought things that can be useful for my future for example a car, microwave and others. I enjoyed working on this project because I learned how to spend money wisely. This project was some what difficult because my calculations kept turning out bad, I kept checking my work and it started seeming clearer and clearer. I checked my work one last time and I figured out that I miss calculated the puppy. If I were to work on this project again i would check my calculations before putting them on the pie graph.

"Back To The Future"

In my math class since the math tests are over, Ms. Pulphus decided to come up with a project about what were the cost of items in 1989, what price is it now 2009, and using percent change what will those items be in 2029. I enjoyed working on this project because we could've work with anyone you desire, i decided to work with Taina because she is very determined and hard working. To me, this project was a little bit difficult because of the graphs on Microsoft Word, it was very hard to get the axis together, but we got the hang of it. Instead we created 2 graphs so that it can be easier for us. 4 on each graph since there was a total 8 items. On the other hand it was helpful because in the future i can create graphs on Microsoft Word. If i had the chance to work on this project again i will definitely create 2 graphs right off the bat, instead of going through a lot of work creating one.

The day before the event.

I feel confident about the Math State exam because I feel that I know all the standards and everything I need to know for the test. My opinions of 8th grade math in general, is easy. I will admit I don't understand some measurement standards, but I know what I need to know for the state exam. Some activities I would like Ms. Pulphus to plan after the test are , trips, math projects like the measurement project last year, and many more! I think I am prepared for high school because I am confident in what Ms. Pulphus thought me this year. I learned new things, and I mastered many standards I didn't know how to do last year. What makes me confident that I will succeed in high school are my averages, they are above an 80 and I am confident that I will get the same in high school as well. I really don't have areas that i have to improve because I am never late, I am also never absent. 3 academic goals I would like to accomplish by June 24th(Graduation) are improve my skills in measurement, increase my 86.60 average to at least a 88 or 90 average and participate a lot in projects and activities.
