My life in numbers
(Extended questions)

1. What are percents useful for?

      Percents are useful for all sorts of things, from sports statistics to shopping discounts.
For sports statistics, you could have 2 of 4 hits in a game, in baseball stats that would translate to 500% average, usually you would use 100 as the highest percent, in normal percents i should get 50%.

2. What have you learned or improved while learning percents this year?

    Well for starters I learned multiple different ways to solve a percent word problem. I also learned that long division isn't all that bad, dont get me wrong its still pretty bad, but it just doesn't seem as terrifying as it did last year.

3. What is the value of showing your work in math?

     You should always show your work in math. It shows the teacher that your not cheating, shows them that your either on the right track or not, and it shows them that you care.

4&5. What feedback did you get from the critique and how did the critique improve you work?

       I was told that my handwriting was sloppy, my work wasn't organized, and they didn't understand the problem, which i thought was perfectly fine. Well as bad as I made it sound the person was a lot nicer then that, I did end up taking that and using it. My work, ended up at least 10 times better looking and I got my second draft done. Win.

6. What possible extensions to this work would be meaningful to you?

     I think i would enjoy just having tricky word problems that would chalenge me, all the problems I think i sped right through.
