Camp Reflection

I couldn’t believe it when..  Grace & I were hiding under our cabin bunk bed. We were hiding there so when Ore came in we could jump out and scare her.It was a master plan. The sleeping bag was slightly positioned over the bed to hide what lay under. The lights were off  & the curtains were closed . ‘Shhhhhh their coming’ Grace whispered. ‘ When they come in do we scream or what
?’  Grace asked. ‘Shhhhhhh their here!!’ I whispered.

The door creaked open. It wasn’t just Ore it was Angelica and Deanne too. Deanne neared towards the bed. ‘ Grab her foot’ Grace exclaimed. I grabbed it! Deanne screamed & fell to the floor. Angelica and ore screamed. we jumped out squealing with laughter.

I couldn’t believe it when… I was standing in Parliament admiring the beautiful buildings and paintings , surrounded by beauty. Credits to Brigitte.

Maths Mate sheet 8 term 4

Predict- I predict this question will be about problem solving.

Read- Which deal costs less per milliliter. A) 75 c for 500 ml B) $2 for 2 liter

Whats BIG question?- What deal costs less?

Clarify – Nothing to clarify.

Solve- I first have to find out how many millimeters are in a meter. There are 1000. Then I then times 75 c by 2 because there is 500 ml for 75 c. 75 x 2 equals 150.

Summary- So the answer is B costs less. This is true because $2.00 for 2 liters is deal B. But deal A is $3.00 for 2 liters.

Maths Mate sheet 7 question 24

Predict- I predict this question will be about problem solving

Read-the question says:Fill in the missing digits in the multiplication sum.1_4 x 8 =_9_

Clarify- Nothing to clarify

Whats the BIG  question?- Fill in the missing digits in the multiplication sum.

Solve- First I will work out what I know- 8 x 9 = 72 now I need to work out the rest.

Summary- The answer is 124 x 8 = 992

Maths Mate sheet 6 question 22

Predict- I predict this question will  be about problem solving.

Read- The question says : Which deal costs less per metre A-$1.50 for 15 m or B-$5 for 45 m.

Whats the BIG question?- The BIG question is Which deal costs less per metre A-$1.50 for 15 m or B-$5 for 45 m.

Clarify- Nothing to clarify

Summary- The answer is 50 cence

Maths Mate sheet 5 term 4 question 23

Predict- I predict this problem will be about problem solving

Read- The question says – each flag represents a different digit. Fill in the chipher.

Clarify- Whats a chipher? A chipher is a sum

Whats the BIG question?-  Fill in the missing digit things.

Solve- The first sum has 3+ 1_4 shaded of a square  equals two halves. I know the answer has to be two of the same numbers so it cant be 77 or 44 it has too be something less so I guess 11. Then the next sum is 1_4 of a square shaded x  a differently positioned half =  1 half and a differently positioned 1_4.  So I knew it would have to be 7 x 2 = 14.

Summary- I wrote all the answers at the bottom!

Their loud aggressive musical fight draws the audience closer , closer , closer

The steps are scary  and roaring

Pure madness

The curtain rose

Predict- I predict this question will be about problem solving.

Read- The question says :Fill in the magic square (hint:Every row & column adds up to the same sum)

Clarify– How will I know what the sum is? -Well the numbers in a row that is already written says 4 9 14 which add up to 27 so each column or row must add up to 27.

Whats the BIG  question- The big question is fill in the magic square so that every sum adds up to 27.

Solve- Every column and row I put a number sentence that will add up to  27.
