Wk5 T2 2018

This week we have been focusing on equivalent fractions. I found this quite easy but also very very fun. 
I have learnt how to multiply a fraction by a fraction as well as multiplying a fraction by a whole number. It is actually easier than you think!!!!
How to multiply a fraction by a fraction: 

  1. Multiply the numerators of both the fractions to get the new numerators.
  2. Multiply the denominators of both fractions to get new denominators.
  3. Simplify or change the number to a mixed number.
How to multiply a fraction by a whole number.

  1. Rewrite the fraction as a whole number. To be able to rewrite the whole number as a fraction you have to put the number over a 1. Eg. if your number was 5, it would be 5/1.
  2. Then follow the steps above to get your answer.

Maths Workbook W4 T2 2018

This week for our maths workbook we have been working on division. I found this workbook pretty easy except for a few questions which I found a bit tricky as when using short division it didn't really work so I ended up having to calculate it. 
Fact: When you are doing short division and have to divide a number by another number (the last number you will have to divide) but you can't do it, just write a 0 up above and write 'r......???' (remainder....) and whatever number you were trying to divide next to it.

Wk3 Percentages Workbook T2 2018

This week for numeracy we had to complete another percentages workbook. This time, I worked on what I got wrong last week and what I could improve on to get the correct answer. Half way through a slide I figured out that I had made a mistake and so I had to go back and fix up a couple of questions. I found it easier but a few questions I got a bit confused on. 
This week, one of the strategies I used was when you are finding percentages off a money amount you have to find the percentage of it and then subtract it off your total. 
Eg. 45% off $110 = $60.50
Start with finding 45% of 110 which is 49.5 then you subtract it from 110. Then you get your final answer.

Percentages - W2 T2 2018

This week for maths we have been focusing on percentages. At first I found this quite tricky but when I got the hang of it it was much easier. I learnt the trick that when you're wanting to find out 10% of a number you just move the decimal point to the left once. Eg. 10% of 248 = 24.8. I also found out that when you're wanting to find 1% you move the decimal point to the left twice. Eg. 1% of 248 = 2.48.

Probability Work Book - T2 W1 2018

This week for maths we have been focusing on probability and ratios. We had to complete a workbook that our teachers had set for us. I got a bit muddled up at the start but then realised what I had done wrong and changed it, then found it easier at the end . 



Descriptive Writing - T2 W1 2018




It was a dark and colourful night at the annual carnival. It had been a busy day as the crowds had been continuously huge all day.
All that you could hear was the loud, blasting music and the rattling sound of the carts going along the coasters.
The bright ombre sunset was gleaming in people’s eyes as they walked over to get some salty hot chips and a melting ice cream as it was quite hot weather. The tomato sauce of the chips running down people's hand.
Over at the rollercoasters, hair is blowing everywhere and harnesses are pushing people back into their seats so that they wouldn’t fall out as they are going around the loop-de-loop.
As the night goes on many more dreary eyed kids are leaning against their parents as they are getting very tired after such an eventful day.
A huge amount of people are crowded around a ride taking pictures as it looks very much like the famous ‘London Eye’.
Families are looking up to their relatives as they are on rides with very scared and worried looks on their faces.
I spin round wondering what ride I should go on before everything starts to shut down. I then decide to go on a ride called ‘The Ride Of Doom’. I decide it sounds a bit scary at first, but take a deep breath and head into the queue, which is the size of   million adult giraffe’s necks. As I doze into a daydream I can hear people around me shouting, ‘Hurry up, move along, we want to go on the ride’. I wake up out of my doze and realise that I am actually the next person to go on the ride. I sprint along to get on to the ride when, a lady says to me ‘excuse me madam, but can I please have your ticket. So, I hand her my ticket and shuffle into the seats of the coaster cart. I pull the harness over my body to keep me in my seat. I can hear one of the operators shouting, “3,2,1”, and off the cart speeds, up, down, around, continuously, until it suddenly comes to a halt………..my head is spinning. As I hop off I crash into a pole and fall backwards because of how dizzy I am.
As all the rides and food stalls start to shut down, people start to pour out of the carnival grounds, get into their cars and head home.

I am sure, many people would have had a blast of a day at the carnival!!
