Look over the lessons in Chapter 7. Why do you think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in one chapter? What connects all of the lessons? Are there any lessons in Chapter 7 that do not fit in the chapter? Where should they go instead? Also, do you think other lessons could be added to this chapter? If so, which ones, and why? If not, why not?

I think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in once chapter because the materials are the necessary but extraordinary ones to use in later. I think the thing that connects all the lessons is that they all sum up the little concepts we knew before, creating something extraordinary. I think the lessons that don't fit the chapter are the lessons about negative exponents and scientific notations don't fit in the chapter. They would've fit better in Ch6 since the chapter was about calculation, and those are about calculating also. There should have been a lesson about solving problems without the charts, after we understood about charts. Therefore if we practice on not using them, it will helpful because we wouldn't always be needing to draw a chart when we are stuck in a problem requires charts.
ReplyDeleteI believe there were many lessons that seemed out of place. However, they are all related to the calculation of fractions, decimals in chapter 7. Thus, I believe there were no lessons that should be replaced. I assert materials not only about mixture but also other word problems that are related to the calculation of fraction should be added to lesson 7 and 8.
ReplyDeleteI think all the lessons that look like they don't fit are put into this chapter because the lessons are random but they are needed for future lessons. Chapter 7 might have just been the basics. I think all the lessons fit, but in an awkward way. What connects them is that they all have fractions or decimals. Other lessons should not be added from previous lessons for they fit together well and are used a lot. Maybe lessons from farther into the book can be pulled back if they just require a few basics.
ReplyDeleteI think they all fit together well. For example when we learnt exponents, this is clearly related to how scientific notation is used. Scientific and expanded notation both use exponents with the base of 10. You must know the concept of exponents before you learn notation. Thus, I think this a very good method to put them all together in one chapter. It may be easy to forget if they were in different chapters. It is best to put the basic in front and the advanced in the back of the chapter. This is why I think that it was suitable to put it all in one in this chapter.
ReplyDeleteEvery section of this chapter was all related to this chapter because all of these sections have similarities where they have to use similar ways to solve problems. For example, when we were multiplying the numbers with exponents on them, we all applied the similar concepts to complete one problem. And as that gets more complex every time, we were getting the hang of it, of either making corrections or solving problems. It was always applying the same concepts

ReplyDeleteI think it fits because they are percentage in this chapter and there can be lots of decimal numbers so scientific notations and exponents makes shorter.
I think the editors put these sections in this chapter because they all have something to do with using fractions in the problems. It shows ways to use the fractions, such as the work rate problems. When filling the space for work rate in the chart we make, we have to put it as a fraction. I don't feel as if one of the sections do not belong in this chapter. Even for the negative exponents, we had to solve problems with fractions.
ReplyDeleteI think the reason the editors put all this material together in Chapter 7 is because they were all related to fractions, how to solve equations with them, and how to apply them to different kinds of problems. The lesson that doesn't fit in this chapter is Scientific notation. This is because scientific notations are the least related to fractions like the other sections did. I think scientific notations should be in chapter.6 since it goes through solving different kinds of problems using fractions. If there was anything more to be added to chapter 7, it would be a whole section about simplifying fractions with negative and positive exponents. This section would let us solve through the whole chapter in a more comfortable way, and we could get faster at solving them.
ReplyDeleteI think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in one chapter because it consists of all the basic stuff we learned before but just makes the problems slightly more challenging than the ones we used to solve. I think all the basic things we learned are connected together to create a whole new chapter. If I had to pick a section that didn't really fit into this chapter, it would be work and mixture problems using charts. I think it would have been better if they were in chapter 4 where all the other chart problems are. If another thing was added to this chpater, I think it would be word problems about decimals, percentages and fractions because this chapter includes basic stuff that we learned before. Word problems would have mae this chapter more challenging. Overall, I think this chapter was very big with a lot to learn:)
ReplyDeleteI think the editors put these sections in ch.7 because they all are about decimals and fractions. When you do work problems, you use fractions as well as when you simplify fractions with sci. notations. Also, the decimals are used in mixture problems and we simplify decimals into scientific notations
ReplyDeleteI think that the editors of this book put the chapter 7 together since they thought that these 2 chapters were neccessary for us to solve problems next year for geomatry. And what vaguely connetcs the chapters are applying fractions since that is what it says on the first page of this chapter. And the section that i thought didn't belong in here was the last section since scientific notation has no connection with fraction. Even if there were, vaguely to the point most people would not notice. And i do not think that any other sections could be added to this textbook since I don't know what else we are suppose to learn. As well as the fact that the sections we did before fit with each other nicely.
ReplyDeleteI think the editors put these things together because they are alike in some ways and will be useful in the future. However, the exponents part seemed a little out of place with the rest of the chapter. The rest of the chapters are alike and fit will together because they involve problems solving with charts and solving equations. Also, other than the charts the equations we learned were relevant since they are all used after we plug all the numbers on the charts
