We used the Fantastic Floam Recipe to complete our Connect the Dots project. How does this reflect the big idea for this school year? Can you think of ways that recipes can be **symbolic** of things other than food? This reflects the big idea of the school year because I learned different subjects can work together. Recipes can be symbolic to learning as well as food because to learn you have to ask questions, think, answer, and maybe even other things. To learn you can't just do one thing: you have to understand, too. Another thing that has a recipe is life, where everything you learn has to do with your life and future. Learning heps you. Understanding and learning are ingredients to both recipes.

I learned that fractals are objects displaying self-similarity, and that geometrical patterns are patterns that are expressed in shapes. Arithmetic patterns are number patterns.

I learned that sample spaces are the set of all possible outcomes, which means all the the chances that an event will happen in a probability test, and that juries apparently have to do math to reach a verdict, though I don't completely remember why. That is really all I bothered to learn.
