Is 6 divided by 2 the same as 6 times 1/2? Why?
Yes. The inverse of 2 is 1/2. To divide and number by another is equivalent to the number being mulitplied by the inverse of the divisor.

When I was in 4th grade at my old school, I used to teach the first graders how to jump rope. We would practice everyday, and eventully they all learned. About 4-5 or so girls would come and practice, and we had tons of fun. One day, they told all of the girls in their class to come at recess. we played double dutch and they all had a blast. It was a very good experience.

Q: Why is 2/3 divided by 3/5 the same as 2/3 times 5/3 ???
A: RECIPROCALS . A reciprocal is the multiple inverse. A fraction times a reciprocals equals 1.
reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3
reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5
get it ?, when you do division, you change the second number into a reciprocal and multiply it.
3/4 divided 5/6: 3/4 times 6/5 :18/20
Now do you understand???

A few days ago (Sat,January 23,2009)I had my first SAS swim meat !!! At CISSA, I got to partipicate in a meet, but I didn’t feel part of the team. My times were: 50 freesyle: 46 seconds, Breastroke:57 seconds, Butterfly: 59 seconds and 100 IM (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle): 2:00 !!!!! I know its kind of slow, but I know I will improve at practice

Q: Why doesn’t 1/4 + 4/6= 5/10
A: Because it doesent have a common denominator. To add 2 fractions, you must have a common denominator for the answer to be correct. The answer really is : 1/4 = 3/12 4/6= 8/12 3/12+8/12=11/12
11/12.

While working on my tiger, I learned you can do many things with acrylic paint. You can glop the paint on, or lightly spread it through out the canvas. You can use one plain color to paint, or use many different shades to make unique colors. You can take all of these things in, and use them as skills later in your life, or leave them all behind. I chose to keep them with me .
While doing this project, I really liked learning different techniques to help me with my painting. I think it made my painting different, and unique in the end. I learned how putting warm colors on cool colors makes it really pop, and I really liked how it turned out in the end.
I think that my finished painting reflected my style, and how I choose bright colors over dark colors. I really like it, and I hope we do more projects like this again. Do you like it?

They are almost finished constructing the pool, and I think the swim team will have tryouts soon. My freestyle time has improved by 4 seconds, from a 49 to a 45. I went to a swim camp for a couple of days, and I think thats what whipped me into shape.

In advisory, we have been working on our S.M.A.R.T goals. For those who don’t know or don’t go to my school, S.M.A.R.T means:
Specific~ is it exact? or is it too general to worn on?
Mesurable~ Do you know when to check on what your doing?
Achiviable~ Can you actually achomplish this goal?
Realistic~ does it have anything imaginary or impossible?
Timely~By what time do you want to achive this goal?
My S.M.A.R.T goal is to improve my swimming times so that I can make the swim team at the tryout in febuary. I practice 3 times a week so I think this goal is Specicific, Achiviable, and Realistic. I also think it is Measurable and Timely because I have told everybody the time I want to achomplish this goal. I write more along the way on how I am doing on achomplishing this goal, so check back to see how I’m doing !!!!!!!!!

While doing this art project, I learned that you could use glue in different ways. I also learned more techinques for water colors.I learned alot about abstraction and movement. By learning many techinques to help me with this project, I think that I can become a better artist by using these new techinques.
