//-Cody Jones, this project reflects the big idea because we are making connections with reading and math/algebra. We had to read the directions like language arts and we had to get the exact measure of the things we needed and that is like math/algebra. Recipes can be like school because you have to read and get ther exact measurment. Math is the measurment part, and language arts is reading the directions. I really enjoyed this project, we also made connections with school and an activity outside of school.// //-Yes, if you do not give effort you will most likely fail. Say you are doing a math problem. If you never try it and put effort into it you will never succeed or finish the problem. Also in basketball if you do not give effort in practice you will probably not do so good in a game. In practice or while doing a math problem give some effort and actually try and you will have a better chance of success.

A pattern comstitutes a set of numbers or objects in which all numbers are related with each other by a specific rule. For example: 0,21,42, 63,the rule to this pattern is plus 21. There are many other types of patterns in the world that I don't even know about. But, one we are all familiar with is a pattern of colors or shapes. If there is a pattern of colors, and you are starting to repeat the patterns you can't just change the order of the colors out of no where, because comstitutes a set of numbers of objects in which all numbers or objects are related with each other by a specific rule. So, basically you can just say that a pattern is a repitition of numbers of of objects, such as shapes.// //-Probability! This is some things I have learned about petterns. Probability is the chance of something happening or occuring. Say that you are picking marbles out of a bag. If there is 10 blue marbles, 6 red marbles, and 4 green marbles, and you pick a marble out of a bag but you return put the marble back in the bag each time, your chance of picking a blue is 10/20, red 6/20, and green 4/20, But, say you pick marbles out of a bag and you do not put the marble back in the bag befor you pick another one. Since you did not return the marble you probability of picking the color you wnat will increase. So say you do that, blue would be 10/20, red would be 6/19, and green would be 4/18. That is what you have to watch out for when working with a probability question, if you are picking from a bag and if you return what you picked or if you left it out of the bag. That is mainly what probability is about.//
