Armando's Scribe Post (Jelly Blubbers)

O.K., I've looked everywhere on this site and I can't figure out how to make a new post so I'm going to write it here and hope that Miss Nicholson sees it.

Thursday's Scribe

We didn't start off our class with Mental Math because of time retraints ( If I rememeber correctly). This is O.K. with me because im not a big fan of it. But we did get some more work to do. First we had to finish our two sheets on multiplying and adding integers. After we had finished those we were assigned another sheet on dividing integers. Later on in the class we got a blank, green piece of paper and were told to write ten random numbers between 1-100. We had no clue what it was for, but we would later find out. Then we got another sheet which Miss. Nicholson told us NOT to flip over until she said go. When Miss Nicholson said go, we flipped the page over and pictures of "Jelly Blubbers" were scattered all over the paper. We were given five seconds to study the pictures and guess what the average length, ( or width, which was debated in class) of the Jelly Blubbers was. We each then told Miss. N. what we had guessed and she tallied then on a line on the overhead. Next, we were told to measure ten random Jelly Blubbers with a ruler, and find the average of all the numbers. We each then told Miss N. what our numbers were and like before, she tallied then on a line on the overhead. Finally, we were told to find the measurements of the Jelly Blubbers which corresponded to the ten numbers we had written down at the beginning of this activity. We then found the average of those meaurements and we each told Miss. N., for a third time, what our averages were. It turned out that the best sampling method was the third one, which was completely random. After we had completed the activity, we were told to take our 3 Point Approach sheet and the other White Sheet that accompanied it. Miss. N. then had us add two more definitions. If i explain those definitions, I will end up writing double the amount of what I have already written, and I think that I have written enough.

P.S. Even though Math is my least favourite subject, you make it very enjoyable!

  • Wow Armando! Great work!

    The thing that I am impressed with most about your post is that you found a way to solve your problem of not knowing how to make a post by making a comment instead. You did not give up or use this as an exuse not to try. Now that's being responsible!

    Very thorough work. I enjoyed hearing your opinions about the various parts of the class as well.

    See you Monday!

    P.S. To make a post, you have to log in to blogger. This is explained in the post called "How to Make a Post" under "Blogging Tips" on the right hand column of our blog.
