Part 1: "Pay If Forward" is about the boy named Trevor, who has an assignment about to change the world, so he makes an idea of three people can make a difference to. Only one person can make a difference in the world!
Part 2: My "Pay It Forward" act of kindness was to clean the kitchen and clean my bed. I choose this activity because it would be get done and no more mess around the house. I did do my act of kindness on November 13th, 2011.
Part 3:
I did my "Pay It Forward" act of kindness pretty well because I did do my both chores, and it was really easy to do it.
Part 4:
I think "Pay It Forward" is very important because it helps 3 people to make a big difference and to be more kind, generous, and a helpful person.

1. a.) Bar Graph Advantage: It can easily compare two and three bar data sets. Disadvantage: It can recorded to emphasize of certain effects of the data.
b.) Line Graph Advantage:It can beinferred from the graph line. Disadvantage: You only use the continuous data.
c.) Circle Graph Advantage: Are best for comparing categories to the whole using percents. Disadvantage: It can only compare of using one variable.
d.) Double Bar Graph Advantage: It can be used to compared of two data steps. Disadvantage: It can only be compared of two data steps.
e.) Pictograph Advantage: It handles large data of using keyed icons. Disadvantage: It is the best for only 2 or 6 categories of data.
2.) How the graphs are misleading? 3 ways are:
1. Break the y-axis.
2. Distorting the visuals.
3. Distorting the size of a bar.
3. a.) The following chart shows Pizza Sub Sales over a month. What 2 graphs would show the information accurately?
Answer:I think I would choose for 2 graphs are bar graph and the line graph so the information would be more accurately.
b.) If you were selling Pizza Subs would you continue? How does your graph explain your answer.
Answer: Yes because I would like to continue to sell more pizzas so the items of pizzas would selling more and more every week.
4. a.) Below you see 2 different examples of graphs showing healthy choices sold at the canteen. If you had to convince Mrs Mota that we should continue selling healthy choices which graph would you choose?
Explain: I think I choose the line graph because it was selling more in the canteen every month.
b.) Change each graph so that your information looks even MORE impressive. You may not change the data just the graphs.
Ratio:A comparison of two or more quantities with the same unit; for example, in the following diagram, the ratio of black squares to white squares is 2 to 3.
Ex. 2 to 3, 6:9, 6/9
Rate:A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units.
Ex. 15 to 20, 15:20
Proportion:An equation that says that two ratios or two rates are equal.
Task 2 1.)5 hours to travel 360 miles is about 72 mph.
2.) As a playgroup worker, if I increase the amount of apple juice I am
serving at the playgroup from 25 ml to 100 ml, how much should I
increase the the orange juice to, to keep the quantities in the same
proportion? The orange juice is 50 ml to start with.
Task 3
What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?
3/4=12/16 diagonally, multiply top left and bottom right, vertically, and horizontally.
Task 4 Here is a video to help you guys out!...
Task 5 1.)Does this seem fair? Not it is not fair at all.
2.) With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image
above. Does it seem just and fair? Why have you made this choice? It is not fair because he fraud $3.5 billion and the judge let him go to jail for just only 3 years but the other guy stole but it gave it back and got surrounded by the police and the judge gave him 15 years in jail.
3.) What would you have done if you were the judge? If I was the judge, I would charge him for took $3 billion dollars and he would go to jail for 15 years and the homeless guy that he stole $100 dollars and he would returned to jail for only 3 years.
