Maths Time Problems

   

Today Mr.M gave us 2 problems, one was about rounding 1200 to the nearest 10 and 100.

The next problem was about rounding a decimal up to 6. ( That one was really easy ) You can try these problems in your own time. The first question was about what could the number be if it has been rounded to 1200.

The next problem was what might the number be if the decimal has been rounded off to 6. This was a really fun maths lesson and we will be doing this every morning which is going to be really fun. 

I found them both quite easy, I also learnt something as well.

  

The next day we did another 2 problems which were fun.

The first problem was what might the missing numbers be for _x_=36.

That one was fun because it got out brains in action.

The next question was using four 4s in any operation, how many different answers can you make?

That one was quite tricky but in the end I did 7 answers.

That maths lesson was a great one to help you learn much more different answers than you usually do. So it was great for me.   

I found problem 2 hard and very mind blowing.

Problem 1 was great for learning times tables and getting your brain working properly.

  

The next day we did another set of 2 problems it was fun and brain testing at the same time.

I really enjoyed problem 1 and problem 2 was all about thinking what range of different numbers there can be. I though that I did very well and room 20 did superb. I can't wait to see how brain testing the next one is.

With problem 2 you have to think of the smallest and the largest. I started at the smallest number and then carried onto the biggest number.

Problem 1 was all about times tables which I enjoyed.

  

Today we did another lot of fun maths problems. I thought that it was extremely easy to do the problem 1, because it will just go on for pages and pages and even more pages. Problem 2 was also a pattern type.

 You had to go through all of the numbers and move them around to make sure you go from smallest to biggest.

Can you add to either of these problems, if so write a comment below with your answer(s). You can do as much as you want.    

 This is a  ' VOICE THREAD ' that Mr.M made and room 20 have made some comments, you should check it out.                  

My imagination ( The Distress Call )

Dear Sage this is what I imagine myself in my head:) I hope you enjoy!

Just 3 weeks ago I was out on an adventure. I saw a pixie, peek out of a big scary cave.

I was fascinated, so much that I had to adventure into the what seemed ‘ a big and scary cave’ It was actually a fairy wonderland filled with millions of them. As I walk in I notice that it turns from good little fairies to evil bunnies.

The bears back at base were talking about the island’s new rules and what they need to do about me, who apparently won’t stop chattering about how they are not caring for their land. Then with a great big ‘SQUAWK‘ they heard me do my ‘Distress Call’.... but with no surprise they decided to leave me and carry on with what they call a ‘meeting’.

I was lonely and tied up with all of the bunnies crowding me. The surroundings were really odd it was like a little girl's dream room filled with evil villains dressed in little pink tutus. I was confused.

Why were they dressed like that?

Just as I was about to send out my distress call again they stuffed a bunny type dummy in my mouth.They obviously thought that I was the baby bait  they ordered, but no I was just a little adventures carrot who is very eager to get out of their princess palace.

Just as night falls the evil team place me, the distressed little carrot in the water just sitting there floating towards base. Which was where the pigs and all of the other animals were hiding.

The deer notices me and goes to save me.  ( Just as the bunnies had planed. )  

The deer manages to save me while zapping the evil bunnies, until they turn into food.. All of the animals see that the evil bunnies are actually ruining their land. So all of the animals start to act fast and make those bunnies were food. Once they had defeated the villains in tutus, they celebrated with the little fairies and threw away every little bit of the evil bunnies stuff and made the fairies magical wonderland even bigger.

In the end the bears finally decided to let me be in charge of the land and make it even better, which worked out really well, but the fairies thanked me by changed me into a blue bunny rabbit who loves to play soccer.

Team 5's topic this term has been about rubbish. It is really fun to learn how to save our universe.

I am a leader of the 'girls food scrap group' in room 20. The whole class has made one of these for their topic groups, 
E.G. 

• Litter Patrol
• Rubbish
• The plastics
• Food Scraps Boys
• Food Scraps Girls  

Each group has made a question for them like our groups question is: How can we recycle food scraps in room 20? 

Here is a Fotobabble that I did on my advertisement.

This picture was sent to room 20 from Mr.M, we had the choice to make a video or something of our choice.
It was really random Casey and I just started to do the sequence. So we decided to film it and make it in to a movie maker. So here we are being weird, I HOPE YOU ENJOY:)

How could different planets support life? How long have scientists been looking for life? Has anybody seen life on another planet before?

Letter To V.M. Jones

Dear Mrs V.M. Jones,

Hi my name is Felicity and I am writing you a letter, I hope you enjoy.

My class has just finished reading your breathtaking novel ‘Buddy’, it was just so touching and beautiful. At times the class would yell at the teacher to persuade him to keep going because it was so interesting, we couldn’t bear to put the book down, that’s how amazing it is. You write the best books ever.

My favourite character would have to be Chantal, because she sounds so bittersweet and very delightful. I also liked the sound of Splash the cheeky little kitty.
What made you choose that kind of personality for Chantal?   
What made you so inspired to be an author?  

I am sure that a lot of people who have read your book now know not to make fun of people with special needs, because really they are actually really peaceful and loving not to forget caring.
Also people should know that family and friends are much more important than winning.
Your ‘Buddy’ novel is a great inspiration for people who want to write a novel.

I would really enjoy to see a second Buddy story because you had the most weirdest ending that made me think there should be much much more. Please come and visit my class and I at Parkvale School HASTINGS, we would absolutely love to see you in person and thank you for giving such an inspiration for young writers. I also like that Josh didn’t care about what colour medal it was. All they needed was a simple a medal to show their love.

I hope to see that you have commented on my blog soon.

Yours sincerely Felicity Johnstone.

My Q&A

My Q&A for the wild deer debate, it seemed like a good idea at the time and a helpful immigrant.

1. How will we change this?   We can all work together and possibly make a poison that will just kill the pests not other animals that we want to keep here.

 

2. What could happen if we don’t start now?   The pest population will get bigger and bigger in New Zealand and then more and more of our native animals will become extinct.

3. Where might this mistake end up? New Zealand will end up with out any native animals.
4. Who might be able to destroy these pests? D.O.C and scientists can work together and make something to wipe them out of New Zealand for 
5. good.
6. When should the process start? As soon as possible or we will be saying goodbye to our native animals for good.

1. Why should we remove the gorse from New Zealand? Because it is an awful plant that can ruin our wonderful environment.

2. What could happen to our native animals if we do not get rid of the pests? They will all become extinct and other countries won’t come to see our wonderful animals.

3. When will our native animals die out?  We don’t know but we will know if we keep those terrible pests in New Zealand, because they will kill them all. ( The Native Animals and plants )

4. How can New Zealanders help the D.O.C? The D.O.C could organise a group to help with a plan or all of New Zealand can help. ( The ones who want to save our country of course.)

5. What would our environment be like without all of the pests? It would be absolutely beautiful, the way New Zealand came together at first.
