Celebrating Diversity

I learned how to accept differences in everyone, to embrace diversity and how to invest in certain situations wisely to get returns.
I enjoyed the part about the food graph and trying to queue in the order of our birthday without talking and mouthing out the words.
It can help to develop certain traits in us, like patience.

For Mathematics

I can start by doing my homework first and not procrastinating.

Chapter 4: Algebra Puzzle

My solution (Method 1):
3 Pears = 27
Therefore, 1 Pear represents 9.
2 Pears + 1 Umbrella = 24
Since 1 Pear represents 9,
18 + 1 Umbrella = 24
Therefore, 1 Umbrella represents 6.
2 Umbrellas + 1 Apple = 25
Since 1 Umbrella represents 6,
12 + 1 Apple = 25
Therefore, 1 Apple represents 13.
So, 1 Pear = 9
      1 Umbrella = 6
      1 Apple = 13

Day 2: End-of Day Reflection

I have competed in a tower building challenge, completed Mac Attack activities and did a dance and some cheers.
I have grown in my areas of responsibility, teamwork and leadership.
We should behave seriously and not joke around until the last minute where everyone starts panicking about their unfinished groupwork. We should finish our work before relaxing.
There are differences as everyone sees everything from a different angle, from a different perspective.
I am happy to be a member of my class as it is very fun and all the students are very easy to get along with.
