Arizza's Pay It Forward

Part 1: 
" What is Pay It Forward? "
Pay it forward, is a movement, of act of kindnesses. You do good things, without expecting anything in return for it. Pay It Forward also represents, even doing little things, can make a big difference! To me, I think Pay It Forward, is when you do something, that hopefully makes them feel happy, and makes you feel good inside! When one person starts something good, and the people who he/she helped, looks up to him/her and does the same thing to other people. It's a helping-hand chain!

Part 2: 
" What was Your Pay It Forward, act of kindness? "

Tina, Mikee, and I went to Winnipeg Harvest to help volunteer  on sorting out potatoes  and onions, into individual boxes for some hampers, for the Christmas Cheer board, that'll Harvest will be sending out to more then 54,000 people.

(Mikee holding a potato)

Why did you choose this activity? 

We chose this activity to do, because we know how many families out there who don't get enough for Christmas, and instead of being happy and celebrating it, they have to stress on how to feed themselves, or supply their families. We thought, if we could at least help to package some hampers, we would feel good, and know that some of those families, won't be starving, or not have enough food for Christmas, and days to come.

Who did you help?

We helped Winnepeg Harvest, and also a bunch of also great citizens, sort out boxes and boxes of potato and onions.

What did you do?

We helped Harvest sort good potatoes, and also bad potatoes that have molds, and dents, also some onions.

When did you do you act of kindness?

We went to Winnipeg Harvest, on December 8th, 2012, around 9:00am, to volunteer.

Part 3:

How did your act of kindness go?

Our act of kindness went really well, we even had a great time!

What Happened?

We helped organize the potatoes into boxes, the good potatoes, and the bad potatoes, we threw into a
 huge garbage bin.

How did you feel?

After my experience, I felt good, and I know that'll whoever will be receiving the potatoes, and onions, won't have to worry about no food, and stuff like that. I also had a lot of fun there, because the people were so nice. 

How did the person or people react?

Possibly, the people thought we were doing a great deed, especially how we're helping at a young age, and also other schools as well!

Did you ask the person or people to "Pay It Forward"?
They weren't many supervisors/volunteers around as much when we were working,
so we didn't get to tell them.. Sadly.

-How did they react to your request?

-If you did not ask the person to "Pay It Forward" how come?

Part 4: 
" Why is the idea of 'Pay it Forward' important? "
" Has your act of kindness made a difference? "

Why I believe, Pay It Forward, is important is because, it teaches people, like me, how to learn how to give, and not expect to get. Not to be selfish with each other, and also if I know, I already have enough, I should also give to people who are needing.

I think  that my act of kindness has made a difference because, first of all, I think I'm not alone, even if Tina, and Mikee were there, but also many others. I almost forgot to mention, that our Tour Guide, and also speaker to us, told us that many of the others who work at Harvest, not all get paid, they just go there to work, for their free time, and I thought it was amazing that people would actually do that! 

*Here is also a video, that Tina and I made of our experience at Winnipeg Harvest!

Arizza's Scribe Post

Today at math, we were working on Intergers, solving them with number lines.

• Question #1)

(-29) - (-74) =
- To solve this, you re-write (-29) but change the subtract sign, to + and change (-74) to (+74)
- If you come up on a question that's 2nd integer, is a positive, change it into a negitive:
Example: (+45) - (+10) = (+45) + (-10) = +35

Your question should now look like this:  (-29) - (-74) = (-29) + (+74)  = +45
Also! The blue boxes are Zero Pair's.

• Question #2)

(-61) - (-29) = (-61) + (+29) = -32

• Question #3)

(-58) - (-33) = (-58) + (+33) = -25

And if you're still having some trouble with Integers, solving with a number line, here's a

Textbook Pages 228 - 229

11) In a comedy review, each performer has a 1/4 h (hour) shot. How many performers are there
 in a 2 h (hour) show?

12) It takes 2 1/2 scoops of flour to make one cake. How many cakes do 15 scoops of flour make?

13) Three quarters of a can of apple juice fills six glasses. How many glasses will a whole can
of apple juice fill?

My Test Corrections:

My first mistake was, 2 1/2 x 1 3/5, the correct answer to that is:

The rest of my mistakes at the first section are,
On 2 1/4 x 1 1/3 = 3 I thought it equaled 2 12/12, that part kinda confused me, at the time...

On the computer terminology question, I did the manipulative method, and ended up with 1/128,
when it was actually 128/1 or 128 bytes:
 Q) In computer terminology, a bit is 1/8 of a byte. How many bytes = 16 bytes?

Another mistake I've made at the first section was the question:
Tamar had 1/2 of an apple pie in her refrigerator. She ate 1/4 of this piece of pie. What fraction of whole pie did she eat? The answer was 1/8

My last mistake at the top part is the question, 1 1/2 ÷ 2/3 which again confused me, and I thought it was 1... Here's the real solution and answer:

My mistakes on the bottom section of our test (the graph to make diagrams) 

My mistake on the first question was that it was suppose to equal 5/12 (I rushed my answer, that's why I got it wrong..)

My last mistake for this whole test is the question on the bottom section: 1/4 ÷ 1/3, the real answer is 3/4, also forgot to add "How Many Times does 1/3 go into 1/4?"

Arizza's Proportion Post

Part 1: Define

Ratio:
A comparison of 2 quantities that have the same 
unit of measure.

For example:

Rate:
A Rate compares 2 quantities measured in different units.

For example:

Proportion:
A Proportion is an equation that shows that two ratios are equal to one another.

Example Question: 
3 bars of chocolate cost $2.94. What is the cost of 9 bars of chocolate?

Part 2: 

1) 5 hours to travel 360 kilometres is about _____km/h.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Emma saves 28 cents of every dollar that she earns.  Emma earned $75 last week.  How much money did Emma save last week?

Part 3: 

" What are the three ways you can prove 
that equivalent ratio statements are true? "

- I'm going to use: 3/4 = 12/16

Part 4: 

A video I found from Youtube -

Part 5:




1. Does this seem fair?

• No, It isn't.

2. With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above.  Does it seem just and fair? 

• No, it's not fair at all.

3. Why have you made this choice? 

• I don't find it fair because the first guy stole $ 3 Billion dollars! Then he was just sent to jail for only 40 months! (When that guy is released, he has a chance of stealing loads of money again..) Compared to the homeless man just stole $100. (He probably did that because he was really desperate of his situation, so he stole money perhaps just to buy himself food, or other things.)

4. What would you have done if you were the judge?

If I was the judge of the first guys case, I'll sentence him to jail for his lifetime, and if I could judge the homeless man's case, I don't want to add to his suffering, so I'll possibly put him in jail for a couple months, or a year. Afterwards when he's released, if I can, I'll give him community service.
