Week 6&7

Hi,

Sorry I didn't do my week 6 blog post so I am joining it in with week 7's.

In maths I learnt about integers. Integers are things like -7x7=    12÷-3    5+-6     -7-8

Adding Integers:

-12+8=

Subtract the smaller number.

-12-8=-4

Because the larger number (-12) is a negative number the answer is negative.

Subtracting Integers:

11-(-7)=

Convert the smaller number to it's opposite sign. (-7 becomes positive 7)

11-7=

Now add the numbers.

11+7=18

Multiplying Integers:

If the signs are the same (-12 x -2 or 16 ÷ 4) the answer is positive (-12 x -2= 24 or 16 ÷ 4 =4).

If the signs are different (8 x -7 or -24 ÷ 6) the answer is negative (8 x -7 =-56 or -24 ÷ 6= -4).

In writing and reading I have learnt things about the holocaust. On camp we are visiting the holocaust centre. We are going to write a report about the holocaust, so we have been reading about it.

I also learnt in maths about standard form.

Week 5

Hi,
This week in tech arts I learnt how to make a double hood. I have a white hood with green fabric inside. A double is is sewed onto the jersey much the same as a normal hood the mane difference when making a double hood is you have to stitch the two pieces of fabric together before sewing onto the jersey.

In maths learnt or more reminded myself about HCF (highest common factors) and LCM (lowest common multiples). To start with I kept getting confused between factors and multiples, but I no remember that factors are all the numbers that can be multiplied to make the given number. E.g. 12-1,2,3,4,6,12 12x1=12 2x6=12 3x4=12. Multiples are numbers that are multiplied by the given number. E.g. 12- 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120 Multiples go up forever so that is why I only listed the first ten.

In writing I found out even more about the leaning tower of Pisa. I have written about a page which is about how long it needs to be but my paragraphs are very uneven.
