ReplyDeleteQuestion- How have your understandings of metacognitive strategies changed?
Answer- My understandings have changed in a way that I can think about them consciously while reading a text that might connect to synthesizing, monitoring meaning, determining importance, applying fix-ups, drawing inferences, questioning, etc. So I can use my knowledge of those strategies to help me understand the text more.

No it's not bad to use resources, because if we don't use resources like animals, plants, ocean, etc, we might die. But we have to manage how much resources we are using.

ReplyDeleteQuestion: Which attributes of objects or time is the hardest to measure? Why?
Answer: In my opinion the hardest thing to measure in math is doing elapsed time like what time and day will it be in so and so hours. The reason is because I have to do things like how many days are in 49 hours for example and then how many hours are left which is 1 hour is left after 2 days.

ReplyDeleteQuestion 2-After our Place and Time unit, what makes an explorer successful?
Answer- I think what makes and explorer successful depends on your perspective on what success means. Some people think having glory makes you successful. Other people think having greed makes you successful and other people think having God as your motivation makes you successful. There isn't just one perspective everyone agrees on, there is many perspectives. So I think what makes an explorer successful depends on your perspective.

ReplyDeleteQuestion 11- How are shape and space and measurement connected?
Answer- I think shape and space is connected to measurement because 3-D shapes have area, and finding area is one unit of measurement.Also, 2-D shapes have perimeter, which is another unit of measurement. Another thing is that volume is basically space.
So, that's why I think shape and space is connected to measurement.
