Computer Lab 4-26

               Imagine being an architect who has no idea about geometrical shapes (2-d and 3-d), and doesn't have a clue about angles.  To stop that incident from ever occurring, today in computer lab, we used Bitesize Math to learn about geometry.  Using the first activity on Bitesize, I was able to review the difference between numerous 2-d figures.  Additionally, the exercise (aka game) helped me relearn the classification of 3-d shapes while helping me understand nets of 3-d shapes more.  Finally, using the last activity we did using Bitesize Math, I was able to get a good review on angles and their classification.  This will help me in the upcoming CST testing.  Also, if I am ever designing an architectural piece, this information from Bitesize Math will definitely prove to be useful.  Bitesize Math's different geometry activities will help me throughout my life.

Computer Lab 4-19

                Imagine having a huge group of numbers which need to be handled properly.  How can that issue be solved?  To solve that problem, today in computer lab, we learned how to handle data using Bitesize Math.  On the first exercise, the activity taught us about different kinds of graphs, including tally charts, bar graphs, line graphs, and circle graphs.  The second exercise creatively helped our class revise mean, median, mode, and range which are the measures of central tendencies.  Finally, the third video taught us about probability.  Using the skills I learned today, I will always be able to make sure that my data sets are evaluated correctly.  

Artemis Fowl; The Atlantis Complex

This was a great novel, but I think I like the other Artemis Fowl novels more.

Artemis Fowl; The Atlantis Complex, by Eoin Colfer, 357 pages

                

               Is it possible that Artemis Fowl in Eoin Colfer's novel, Artemis Fowl; The Atlantis Complex is losing his  mind?  Artemis Fowl, probably qualified as the smartest human being ever, is ill with the Atlantis Complex.  Just in time too; Captain Holly Short, an elf's, old enemy is trying to destroy the major fairy city of Atlantis.  Artemis must be cured or at least be able to use his brain in order for Atlantis to be saved.  Bravery is presented by Holly throughout this novel.
               I know as a fact that I liked to read about Artemis in his intellectual self, but hopefully that will happen in the next novel that's about to come out!
