Taylor&Alexia Pay It Forward
4. The idea of Pay It Forward is really smart because if everyone in the world did something nice to 4 people the world would be different and it might solve world peace! Its also important because the less fortunate get a chance to eat etc. Now that we did a good thing for 2 people maybe they will pass it on !

Taylors Graphing Post




-Pictographs:
Advantage- Are best for comparing data that can be easily counted and represented using symbols.

Distorting the sizes
Make it 3D

2a) The following chart shows Pizza Sub Sales over a month. What 2 graphs would show the information accurately?
Pictograph and Line-graph
2b) If you were selling Pizza Subs would you continue? How does your graph explain your answer.
Yes I would continue selling them because every week it the number of Pizza Subs sold goes up.
4a) Change each graph so that your information looks even MORE impressive. You may not change the data just the graphs.

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.

3. What are the three ways you can prove that equivalent ratio statements are true?3/4 = 12/16 or 4/9 = 16/32
