I Won $50,000!

This project was about how to spend $50,000 to buy items which included tax, commision, insurance, and gas. We had to figure out how much the items cost with the tax and commision, or if you were buying a car, you would also add insurance and gas. But, before you get the money, we had to write a proposal to convince and to tell the tech tiger association on what and how you are going to spend the money. I enjoyed working on this project because, I found some cool items while I was searching for things to buy and also I had fun when looking for things to buy. The project wasn't really that difficult, but I made a couple of mistakes when multiplying and adding commision, tax, insurance and gas. If I were to do the project again, I would probably change some of the items, and buy different ones. I really enjoyed working on this project.

"Back to the Future"

This project was about using percent change to find out what was the prices of items that you picked from 20 years ago and finding out how much it cost. Also, in this project, you figure out how much those same items will cost in 20 years in the future. I did enjoy working in the project because I had fun with my partner Aminata and it was interesting finding out how much the items we picked was 20 years ago. The project was a bit difficult because of the bar graphs that we had to work on and make sure it was on point. If I were to do the project again, I would change some of the items because it took a while to find some of the prices for the items.

"The Day Before The Event"

I feel a little nervous about the Math Exam that is tomorrow and Wednesday, but I think it is going to be alright. I think the reason I feel that way is because it is a big day and I really want to pass. My opinion about 8th grade math in general, is that it is a little more difficult. Some activities that I would like for Ms. Pulphus to plan after the test are some trips for the class. I think that I am almost fully prepared for high school. I feel that I will succeed in high school next year is because I feel that I am prepared. Some areas that I need to improve in order to have a successful school year are to keep all my work organized and get higher test grades. 3 academic goals that I would like to accomplish by June 24th are to come to school early everyday, pass all my classes, and get a 3 or 4 on my math and reading exams.
