Geo-Gebra A reason I decided to tell about Geo-Gebra was because in Pre-Algebra we are using Geo-Gebra most of the time ,and because it teaches and shows how to measure angles. Some knowledge I gained from Geo-Gebra was it taught me how to measure angles.Also,it taught me how to plot points on a grid.I think Geo-Gebra is a very efficent way to teach how to plot points on a grid.A question I have is, "Will Geo-Gebra have better ways to teach plotting and make triangles?"

Pizza Doubler Task A reason I decided to tell about the Pizza Doubler Task was because in pre-algebra we had to find information about a type of pizza.First,we had to get a worksheet and find out which of two coupons was the best.Then we had to show the math we did.Also,we had to draw a picture a picture showing a slice of pizza.Lastly,I think finding the best coupon for the best slice a pizza was helpful because it helped us use math in real life problems.
Tesselations A reason why I decided to tell about the tesselations was because in Mr.Dorman's class we had to draw hard tesselations and color them.The reason why we did this was because Mr.Dorman wanted the class to have fun doing this project.Another reason why we did this was because it is almost the end of the year and we had to measure angles. My tesselation was about birds and I decided to draw birds because I thought it was hard to draw. In conclusion, I think making a tesselation was great because now I now how to make one.
Foil Boat A reason why I decided to tell about the Foil Boat Task was because in the last weeks of school we are focusing on creating a foil boat. First, we had to get a piece of foil paper and create a boat. Then, we had to find the volume and area of the boat. Next, we got a basket of water and poured pennies on top of the boat. Later, we counted the pennies my boat holded and it was 103 pennies. Over all, it was great building a foil boat because I got to see how good I was at making strong; ressistant boats.
