Michael's math profile.

Hey, I'm Michael, and I am a grade 8 math student . If someone asked me if I like math, I would say 'kind of' because sometimes it's easy for me to learn, but at the same time hard to understand. The thing I liked the most in math class, was doing the spinners for circle graphs, and we would all guess which colour it was going to land on !

Last year in grade 7, my favourite unit we studied, was fractions, because it was really easy, and we learned how to add and subtract them. I did well in this unit because, it was very easy for me to understand what was going on, and what was going to come next. The unit I had a hard time was converting the decimals, because sometimes I would get confused.

This year, in grade 8 math, I will become successful, by studying hard and finishing all my homework and getting good grades on tests. I would like to learn more about algebra, and anything else that's new to us and become a better and smarter student for all units.

My favourite blog I did last year, was the one I first did, because it was the day we first learned how to blog and I think I improved throught the year. Blogging helped me a lot because we gave and got feedback from our classmates saying what we can do better next time. I want to do more blogging this year, and just have fun !

Exam Review Study Notes (June 9' 10)

300 ugly kids were asked what is their favourite colour. How many like blue, how many like green, and how many like gold.

Blue:
25/100 = 75/100 or 25% of 300
(x3)
0.25 x 300 = 75

Green:

30/100 = 90/100 or 30% of 300
(x3)
0.3 x 300 = 75


Gold:

45/100 = 135/100 or 45% of 300
(x3)
0.45 x 300 = 135



What is the estimated ratio of the circumference to diameter.
3.14 : 1


Find the circumference when radius is 6cm.
2r = d c=2Лr
2(6) = d c = 2 (3.14) (6)
12 = d or c = 6.2816
c = Л d c = 37.68cm c = 3.14 (12) c = 37.68 cm


Find area when diameter is 1om.
r = d/2
r = 10/2
r = 5m

a = Л r 2
a = 3.14 x 5²
a = 3.14 x 25
a = 705 m²

The measure of a sector is 20% of the data.
What is the central angle for this sector?
20% of 360°
0.2 x 360° = 72°

The central angle 198° what percentage the circle represents?

I have a pool with a radius of 6m.
My yard is 30m long by 15m, how much space do I have left in my yard?

A pool = Л r²
= 3.14 (6)
= 3.14(36)

Always Re-order before figuring out all measurements of tendency.
mean: All the numbers added together, divide by home much digits.
median: the middle number OR (if there is no middle number) add the two middle
numbers and divide by 2.
mode: the most number(s) there.
range: diffrence between the largest and smallest values in a data set.
outlier: number(s) that don't really fit with that data set.

Find the mean, median, mode, range, and outlier(s).
a) 12, 20, 18, 15, 10, 12.
b) 48, 32, 67, 61, 47, 95, 89, 888, 1.

Range and Outliers

Range - the positive difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.

Outlier - a value that is smaller or larger than the other data value.

a) 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, 5, 8, 3 ----> 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ----> 8-2 = 6

b) 11, 8, 8,5, 7, 6, 7, 6, 6---->5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8,11--->11-5=6

c) -4, 3, -1, 0, 2 ----> -4, -1, 0, 2, 3 ----> 3-(-4) = 7

Find the outliers:

a) 18, 19, 79, 17, 20, 12 ---> 12, 17, 18, 19, 20, 79 ---> 79

b) 14, 14, 16, 15, 1, 16 ---> 1, 14, 14, 15, 16, 16 ---> 1

c) 98, 202, 99, 91, 2, 95, 89, 88 ---> 2, 88, 89, 91, 95, 98, 99, 202 ---> 2 and 202
