In Mrs.Pope's class we learn ratios,proportions,tessellation, surface area, and volume.
Tessellation
In my pre algebra class, we worked on tessellation. First we made a plan on how to make what we want. Then we made it into a pattern so it could fit on a piece of graph paper. After that we colored the tessellation. Some people's design we very original and others we just plain.
Surface Area and Volume
In my pre algebra class, we learned how to find the surface area and volume of a three dimensional figure. First we learned how to find the volume of a shape. Then we learned how to do the surface area of a shape. After we learned how to we did an activity involving volume. We made a rectangular prism and a pyramid. We filled the pyramid with cereal and then guessed how much it would fill the prism. It filled one third of the prism.
ProportionsIn my pre-algebra class, we are learning about proportions.In the classroom we work with team or alone to solve problems.Some are hard but there are some that are easy.Sometimes we do some activities that involve with what we are doing. Some activities are difficult but some are real easy.

Absolute Value
In my pre-algebra class we were learning about absolute value.We found out that the absolute value is how far a number is from zero.It was a little easy for me and for some of the other students in class.We even learned how to solve problems then find the absolute value of that.Most of us got it but others didn't get it till later.
