I Won the Lottery!
This project was about how we would use $50,000 in two days without investing it. I really enjoyed this project because i got to imagine what i would buy with all of that money. This project was not all that difficult, the only difficult part was trying to calculate the tax and the extra expenses of buy a car or a pet. If i were to do this project again i would probably only buy one item like a car because that way i wouldn't have to go through a lot of diffrent items and put them in categories and everything.

Back to the Future
This project is about being able to determine how much certain items will cost in 20 years by knowing how much they used to cost 20 years ago and using percent change to be able to find out.This project was not difficult at all because all you had to do was find percent change by first taking the original price and the current price, then subtracting the original price from the current price and calculating the percentage that it increased then with that, we predict how much it will cost in 20 years by using that percent. If i was to do this project again something i would do differently would be to use cheaper items.

The Day Before The Event.
I feel confident about the Math Exam tomorrow and Wednesday because I am prepared for it. I have prepared by coming to school everyday and doing all of the review worksheets that my teacher gives me. My opinion about 8Th grade in general is that it is a wrap-up of everything we have learned in the past 3 years. From 6Th grade to this year. Some activities that I would like Ms.Pulphus to plan after the test would be like project where you had to do a variety of things and then in the end put it all together and present it. I think that I am prepared for high school because I have great teachers who teach me a lot. Some areas I need to improve in order to have a successful school year is to come prepared for school more often (pencils, paper etc.). 3 academic goals that i would like to accomplish by June24Th would be 1. To get a good average on the last marking period, 2. To have perfect attendance and 3. To make my parents and my teacher proud of me.
